The Experience
What your day looks like
Join us aboard Tranquility Cruises a Glass Bottom Boat for our 90 minutes turtle & shipwreck adventure. The cruise departs from us. Dock in the Careenage in Bridgetown. Our journey takes us to Carlisle Bay, on most days Carlisle Bay boasts calm turquoise waters with no undertow, delicately lapping on the soft white sand. This bay draws both locals and tourists alike with its breath-taking beauty above water, but also its’ thriving marine park that is enjoyed by scuba divers and snorkelers alike. Under the surface of the sea, Carlisle Bay comes alive with vibrant tropical fish in abundance, sea horses, sea turtles, octopus, rays, and much more. This array of marine life is due in part to the six different shipwrecks in the water as shallow as 12ft. The wrecks are obviously another important contributor to the popularity of Carlisle Bay. For those seeking an adventure, you will not be disappointed with the sight of these sunken treasures.

Lovely to see the Turtles and the fish around the shipwreck were spectacular. Very concerned that one guide lifted a turtle out of the water by hand.
