What guests say

Before you board

The questions guests ask us most before their trip.

See all FAQs
Do I need snorkeling experience?

No experience is needed for the Conch Island tour — the water there is calm, shallow, and very forgiving. The Horseshoe Reef drift snorkel is best for confident swimmers.

What should I bring?

Sunscreen, swimwear, and a camera. We recommend reef-safe sunscreen to protect the coral. A towel is handy but not essential.

Where do we meet?

The Lobster Trap at Setting Point — or, if you're arriving by yacht, we'll pick you up from your mooring.

What if the weather isn't suitable?

Our captain makes the call on the day. If we have to call it off, we'll offer you a new date first. If none of the dates work for you, you won't be charged anything.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancel more than 72 hours before your trip and 50% of the trip price is charged. Cancel within 72 hours, or don't show, and the full trip price is charged. We take payment on the day, and your card is only charged if you cancel or don't show. To cancel, email book@anegadaboattours.com or reply to your confirmation email.
