Santa Maria - 3 Day / 2 Night - Sail, Dive & Snorkel Cruise

With every attention to your comfort and wellbeing, experienced and professional crews will make your stay onboard an adventure of a lifetime exclusive to a small group. You can join in and help sail the boat or just 'supervise' from the deck.

Locations such as Thetford, Moore and Briggs Reef are specially selected for the abundant marine life and spectacular coral formations. Enjoy these pristine sites not visited by the masses at your own pace. Nature sets the perfect scene for snorkelling and diving. Whether you choose to dive, snorkel, or stay dry, you will marvel at the spectacle that is the Great Barrier Reef.

Quality equipment is supplied with free tuition for snorkellers. Introductory scuba dives, dive packages, night dives and advanced courses are all available.

The Santa Maria - This boat combines the unforgettable opportunity to see one of the Great Wonders of the World with the charm of sailing aboard a traditional styled wooden vessel. Santa Maria's beautiful lines are reminiscent of gaff-rigged schooners of earlier times. She is 64' long with a beam of 17' providing a very comfortable cruise with ample deck space to relax. Join us for the unique experience of nostalgia, adventure and romance
