Mix light-tackle fishing with Gabriel Island snorkelling and a beach break on Flat Island.
Your time at sea
This private day combines island exploration and fishing at selected spots in the northern waters. Look for paille-en-queue birds around Coin de Mire’s cliffs, snorkel with the crew and step ashore at Governor’s House Beach for swimming, light fishing or relaxation. Fish and wildlife encounters are never guaranteed. Blue Sensation is a 29-foot speedboat powered by two 140 hp engines, with a covered centre console, life jackets, a first-aid kit and distress rockets.
