Pleasure Cruise
Unlike other Caribbean islands, Barbados does not have any ferry service. Luckily, another option allows travelers to get a taste of the beautiful seas and excellent weather for which the island is known.
Vacationers can charter catamarans and yachts for tours. Generally, these boatss are rented out with a full crew and knowledgeable guides who are eager to point out areas of interest. Visitors can join an already-scheduled yacht cruise or create a sailing tour customized to their own interests.
Once in Barbados, the best way to find a local boat and guide in a marina near your hotel or resort is to ask the concierge staff. The yellow pages or local business directory may also be a good resource, but travelers are advised to do some comparison shopping to find competitive rates.
The lack of inter-island ferries on Barbados doesn't have to slow you down. The availability of chartered yachts and scheduled local cruises provide an excellent customizable alternative to getting around the island.
