VIDEO: Antigua Catamaran Cruise
The Antigua Catamaran Cruise is an adventure you don’t want to miss. This double decker Catamaran Cruise charter has plenty of open and covered seating, but with all the fun and excitement that awaits, you won’t be doing much sitting.
From the moment you board, you’ll be greeted with an ice-cold beer or cocktail of your choice, as well as island tunes that will keep you grooving until you arrive at one of the best snorkeling destinations in the Caribbean. Spend the day with our fun and interactive crew exploring Antigua’s offshore islands on the Antigua Catamaran Cruise. Keep an eye out for sea turtles, starfish and a variety of seabirds that call these islands home.
Antigua and Barbuda, islands that form an independent state in the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Caribbean Sea, at the southern end of the Leeward Islands chain. There is one dependency, the small island of Redonda. The capital is St. John’s, on Antigua.
The majority of the population is of African descent. Most of Antigua’s inhabitants live in St. John’s. The language is English, and some two-thirds of the people are Christian. The single largest denomination is Anglicanism. There are also large proportions of Seventh-day Adventists, Pentecostals, Moravians, and Methodists.
Antigua was visited in 1493 by Christopher Columbus, (not on an Antigua Catamaran Cruise) who named it for the Church of Santa Maria de la Antigua in Sevilla, Spain. It was colonized by English settlers in 1632 and remained a British possession although it was raided by the French in 1666. The early colonizers were also attacked by Caribs, who were once one of the dominant peoples of the West Indies. At first tobacco was grown, but in the later 17th century sugar was found to be more profitable.
