No heeling and no motion sickness side effects are the keys to comfortable sailing, and any non-sailor will enjoy the smooth, stable and fast ride as much as the "old salt" on Patouche Charters Catamarans. If you would like more information about the islands (and maybe a few pirate stories) during the sail, just ask the crew.

Snorkelling
Our snorkelling excursions can be enjoyed by the veteran and non-swimmer alike. The veteran has plenty of time in the water at his leisure and the option to join the crew on one of their short educational tours.

Inability to swim or fear of the water doesn’t faze us. The only requirement for learning how to snorkel is to "want to". Following complete snorkel instruction, the crew will offer each guest a ski belt for guaranteed flotation. Once down the gently sloping ladder, the novice may hold onto the crew’s life ring and participate in a personal tour of the reef and its fascinating marine life.

  Unlike most sailing charter boats, Patouche Charters itinerary includes half, as well as full day trips. The half-day sail goes to 1-2 quality snorkelling sites. Full days feature 2-3 prime snorkelling sites and a gourmet lunch on board. All trips include ice cold sodas, beers, water, punch and, of course, rum punch.

Because of our unique personal touch, Patouche Charters' crew can truly say...
"Come As Guests... Leave As Friends"

Your Full or Half Day with Patouche
When you go out on Patouche Charters, you get the best of both worlds; great sailing and great snorkelling. The roomy 48-foot Spronk-designed catamaran easily skims across the channel even on blustery days – and the snorkelling is always at an area chosen for its special quality.

Whether you choose a HALF or FULL day trip, you can expect fast, stable and safe "CAT" sailing to quality snorkelling sites. You can trust us! All crew members are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and non-drinkers, and of course, the helmsman is a certified captain. Beginners and non-swimmers receive personalized instruction and optional snorkelling tours with a marine educator, while experts can enjoy superb snorkelling at their leisure. For those who don’t want to snorkel, the spacious deck, trampolines & floating mattresses are perfect for sunbathing while the salon and awning offer shaded protection.

Patouche Charters is not a "party" or "cruise ship" boat. We believe in quality sailing and snorkelling, and in giving you the service you hope for, for the price you pay.
