Overview

Three hours on the water with Delphi Watersports, boarding straight off the beach in front of the Hyatt Regency towel hut in Noord. The catamaran carries up to 42 passengers, and check in happens 30 minutes before departure. Expect your feet to get wet at boarding, since there is no dock involved.

The sail combines two things: snorkeling stops and onboard play. Between stops, the boat keeps people busy with a rope swing and a spinning water slide off the side.

Food and drink are built in. The open bar runs for the duration, with a crew that reviewers often described as friendly and attentive, and there are wraps and tropical fruit as snacks. A local guide is on board, restrooms are available, and the tour suits mixed groups, from birthday and Sweet 16 celebrations to non swimmers using inflatable life vests. Towels are not provided, so bring your own.

Itinerary

Check in on the beachArrive at Delphi Watersports in front of the Hyatt Regency towel hut in Noord, 30 minutes before the start time. Look for the big Delphi Watersports sign and ask for Olga or Jhon.
Board from the beachBoarding is directly from the sand, so feet get wet. The catamaran holds up to 42 passengers.
Sail to the snorkel sitesThe catamaran heads out along the coast with music and open bar service. The catamaran sails from Palm Beach out to the snorkel stops; time on the water varies with wind and sea conditions that day.
Snorkel a shipwreckThe first stop reviewers describe is a shipwreck site with fish around it.
Snorkel a reefA second stop features a reef, which one reviewer found a little better for fish than the shipwreck.
Rope swing and slideBetween or after stops, passengers use the rope swing and spinning water slide off the boat. Reviewers called these a highlight of the trip.
Snacks and returnWraps and tropical fruit are served on board during the trip. The tour ends back at the same beach meeting point.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape how this trip goes, from what to carry to how the group feels on the water.

What to bring. Towels are not included, so bring your own. Snorkel equipment is provided, and the listing advises that feet get wet at boarding, so plan footwear accordingly.
Non swimmers. One reviewer described non swimmers in a group of 14 joining the water using inflatable life vests. The listing says most travellers can participate.
Group feel. The boat holds up to 42 travellers, so this is a shared, social outing rather than a private charter.
Food and drink. The open bar is unlimited and snacks are wraps and tropical fruit. One reviewer called it a light meal prepared for everyone, and others praised the food and drinks.
Getting there. There is no hotel transport. You make your own way to the beach in front of the Hyatt Regency, which reviewers found straightforward, and the listing notes the spot is near public transportation.
Card and ID. The credit card holder must be present at check in with a picture ID, a copy of an ID, a driver's license or a passport. Arrive 30 minutes early to allow for this.

Common issues. The snorkeling itself draws mixed comments. Weather matters: the operator requires good conditions and will offer a different date or a full refund if the sail is cancelled for weather. There is also a minimum traveller requirement, with the same rebooking or refund options if it is not met, and cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start time are not refunded. The catamaran is not wheelchair accessible, and hotel transport and towels are not provided.
