Back on board, a light lunch will be will be served while we cruise to Escape Reef. Escape Reef is the perfect spot for an afternoon of snorkelling, fishing and other available water sport activities. Then sit back and watch the sun set over the horizon while sipping champagne with canapés on the upper fly deck before dinner in the main saloon.

The following day we will spend the entire day exploring Escape Reef.  A popular fishing spot, you can throw a line in and try for Giant Trevally’s, Coral Trout, Yellowfin, plus a wide variety of reef species.
