Description

Enjoy a leisurely cruise as you proceed along the Leeward Coast of St Kitts, passing the Frigate Bay resort area and Friars Bay before arriving at Shittens Bay, the snorkeling destination.

After boarding a custom designed, "MAXI-CAT,” there will be a brief orientation to familiarize you with the safety procedures on the boat and an introduction to the crew. Then the leisurely cruise begins.

Only such an excellent snorkeling site as the secluded cove of Shitten Bay could justify bringing this relaxing and invigorating sail to a stop. This calm, unspoiled location is only accessible by sea and shelters an abundance of marine life, with several varieties of reef fish amongst the volcanic rock formations, sea fans and sponges, Special supervision is given to those who have never snorkeled before or those who are out of practice with the technique of snorkeling.

After the snorkeling adventure, enjoy an open bar serving ice-cold beer, rum punch and soft drinks while the sails are hoisted for the final tranquil trip back to the yacht.

You will then be given the opportunity to sample three flavors of Caribbean rum and afterwards enjoy the Fairview Great House signature cocktail – a lemongrass mojito.

Next you drive to Romney Manor’s gardens, you will see (from the outside) a piece of 17th-century history, where Thomas Jefferson's great grandfather Samuel was the original owner. The lacy wooden architecture and tropical gardens are a feast for the eyes. You may even be fortunate enough to see hummingbirds and green vervet monkeys. Afterwards, visit Caribelle Batik. Here you see how locals create each one-of-a-kind article of clothing and decorative masterpiece.
