Wondering what to do on the water? Check out all these fantastic Bermuda boat activities!
Explore Bermuda’s stunning coastline with its secluded coves, remote islands, and beautiful homes and hideaways. The only way to see some of these places is by boat.
Island Hop: Take a picnic and maybe even some champagne for a special day! Find your own island or beach for a romantic day on the water. A very popular option!
Fishing: The preferred method for almost guaranteed success is to venture out by boat amongst the vast coral reefs surrounding the West End of Bermuda. Naturally, fishing is a very popular activity in Bermuda.
Feed the Fish: Visit the HMS Vixen. This shipwreck has been here since 1896, and there are thousands of resident fish here. Take along some fish food, and these fish will eat right out of your hand. This is a must-do in Bermuda!
Snorkeling off the shores of Bermuda is so easy! Unlike anywhere else in the world. Crystal clear waters are home to stunningly beautiful coral reefs, as well as numerous shipwreck sites. Some of the best areas for snorkeling can only be reached by boat.
