Sail & Snorkel
A 4.5-hour shared sailing experience — snorkeling the barrier reef, exploring pristine beaches, and sailing under canvas on our iconic 70′ gaff-rigged schooner.
The Experience
Beyond the
ordinary cruise.
“We push ourselves to not be another cookie-cutter public snorkel cruise.”
Join us as we venture further than the majority of all other public charter boats, finding snorkel spots off the beaten track, setting foot on pristine beaches, and setting sail on our traditional 70′ gaff rigged schooner. This is the Turks and Caicos as it was meant to be experienced.

About the Journey
The Turks & Caicos Islands
the way they were meant to be seen.
“This is not a crowded party boat — it’s a classic sailing experience designed to showcase the natural beauty of these islands.”
Step aboard Atabeyra, our traditional gaff-rigged schooner, and experience the turquoise waters of the Turks and Caicos the way they were traditionally traversed — under sail.
After departing from Leeward, we sail to one of the area’s vibrant coral reefs where you’ll have the chance to snorkel the third largest barrier reef in the world. From there, we explore secluded cays and sandbars that many visitors never see.
Throughout the trip, our friendly crew provides local knowledge, attentive service, and a relaxed island atmosphere. Enjoy complimentary drinks, music, and plenty of space to stretch out and take in the view.

never see.
Atabeyra’s experienced crew know where to find the beaches that the big tour boats skip. You’ll set foot on white sand that genuinely feels like your own private island.

Under Sail
Sailing the traditional way.
When conditions allow, we set the sails and let Atabeyra do what she was built for. There’s nothing quite like the silence and beauty of a gaff-rigged schooner moving under wind power.
- Sailing under canvas when wind allows
- Traditional gaff rig — one of a kind
- Hands-on sailing experience available
- The last of the tropical trading schooners

“The most special day of our entire trip. Eric, Willi, and Junior were so attentive and knowledgeable. We snorkeled stunning secluded spots and the beach was completely empty.”

“We’ve been on 3 trips with Sun Charters. They are our “must do” activity whenever we come to T&C. They helped us swim with dolphins today along with snorkeling along reefs and exploring some of the isolated Cays. They never have disappointed.”
