OVERVIEW
Sail along the western shore of St Barts on a catamaran and then snorkel in the turquoise waters just off shore. All that is required of you is to sit back and relax as the catamaran heads up the leeward coast toward Colombier Bay, which lies within the island’s natural marine reserve. No roads lead to the bay and that relative seclusion ensures a pristine environment for the abundant marine life. Once the catamaran anchors, you will be free to snorkel or stay onboard and just enjoy the natural beauty. Snorkelers may spot brightly colored butterflyfish, schools of grunts and French angelfish, a thin disc-shaped fish that often travels in pairs. Sea turtles tend to congregate in the beds of seagrass and it is quite the thrill to watch one gracefully swim by. The large uninhabited island that you will see a bit farther north is Ile Fourchue.
