Your own boat, your own schedule. Up to 12 friends or family, total privacy.
About this trip
A private boat is the right move for groups of six or more, birthdays, proposals, or photographers who need flexibility on light and timing. The crew of three (captain, mate, cook) reports to you for the day. We can swap any standard stop for a less-visited reef like Shaab Sabrina or Shaab Iris if the group prefers privacy.

Trip-specific questions
Can I customise the route?
Yes, this is the main reason to book private. We send a route suggestion the night before based on wind and tide, you reply with changes. Want to skip Orange Bay and stay at one quieter reef all day? The captain will adjust.
How many guests can I bring?
Up to 12 on the standard private boat. For larger parties we charter a 25-guest mid-size yacht at a higher rate. Sundeck, shaded saloon, indoor toilet, freshwater shower on every boat.
Can the captain take us to less-visited reefs?
Yes. Shaab Sabrina and Shaab Iris are both within an hour of Orange Bay and rarely have more than one boat. Tell the captain at the start of the day and the route shifts.
What is included in the price?
Boat charter, captain, mate, cook, fuel, lunch and soft drinks, snorkel gear, life vests, hotel transfer. Alcohol and any port fees outside the standard zone are extra. Tips for the crew are appreciated but not included.
