Sailing & Boating

Fair Winds and Good Vibes

More than 400 years ago, Bermuda was found by a crew of hardy shipwreck survivors. Today, our island still beckons sailors to its shores. With temperate weather all year long, calm and clear waters, and a rich maritime heritage, Bermuda is the perfect place to hoist your sails or drop anchor. Cheer on your team in the Bermuda Sail Grand Prix, embark on a sightseeing cruise, or island-hop like a VIP on a private excursion.

Sunset & Sightseeing Cruises

Prefer to be a passenger? Glide over Bermuda's colourful reefs in a glass-bottom boat or book a diving or snorkelling adventure. Wind down with a festive sunset sail or hop aboard a midday outing complete with refreshing drinks. Learn to sail with lessons from a pro, book a deep-sea fishing charter for tuna, marlin, and wahoo, or take a spring whale watching tour to see humpbacks on their journey toward cooler northern waters.
