Top Snorkeling Stops on the Jolly Pirates Cruise
Antilla Shipwreck
The Antilla is one of the largest shipwrecks in the Caribbean, resting just below the surface with excellent visibility. Coral formations sway with the current while schools of tropical fish move through open portholes. Guests often spot sea turtles and rays gliding quietly along the wreck.
Boca Catalina
A calm and shallow bay ideal for new snorkelers. Expect colorful angelfish, parrotfish, and bright coral clusters just below the surface. It’s a tranquil stop with easy conditions for relaxed snorkeling.
Malmok Reef
A vibrant reef known for lively marine activity. Corals form a natural underwater landscape filled with squid, trunkfish, and the well-known blue parrotfish, an essential species that helps maintain healthy reef systems by grazing algae.
Eco-Friendly Snorkeling & Reef Respect
Jolly Pirates supports the protection of local marine ecosystems. Parrotfish contribute significantly to reef health, turning algae into fine sand that shapes the island’s beaches. Guests are encouraged to use reef-safe sunscreen and follow responsible snorkeling practices to help maintain these habitats for generations.
