Red Sail Sports Grand Cayman is pleased to announce the addition of the Spirit of the Islands, a luxury 65-foot Catamaran, to our fleet! It’s equipped with an onboard grill and water slide that will add to the family fun on our Grand Cayman Boat Tours.
As the on-site dive and watersports operator at most of Grand Cayman’s top hotels, Red Sail Sports aims to be family-friendly. And with our new catamaran, we’re also announcing a new tour. The Grand Cayman Islands Swimmin’, Chillin’ & Grillin’ Tour on the Spirit of the Islands is the perfect way for the whole family to enjoy Cayman’s crystal clear water and marine environment!
Introducing Red Sail Sports’ New Boat
“Many of our guests spend the morning on the dive boat and they then won’t spend time with family members that don’t dive, and this is a brand new and exciting way to get them out on the water together to have fun,” said Dive Operations Manager Rod McDowall. “We expect it to be a big hit with guests who can now enjoy a fresh grilled lunch after working up a good appetite snorkelling, swimming and using the slide.”
The Spirit of the Islands was built in St. Croix by Gold Coast Yachts, the same outfit that built the other four vessels for Red Sail Sports. It was designed with the same attention to detail − spacious, comfortable and stable – but the grill and water slide were added. A crew of five, including Red Sail Sports Captain Dan Bond, sailed the catamaran on a five-day journey from St. Croix to Grand Cayman, cruising by Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Jamaica.
While the catamaran was going through the licensing and inspection process in Grand Cayman, Red Sail Sports employees held a contest to name the new tour. There were over 30 entries from staff but Michael Lawday of the Sales Department came up with the winning entry and the new tour was named “Swimmin’, Chillin’ & Grillin”.
What To Expect on Our New Grand Cayman Boat Tour
The Swimmin’, Chillin’ & Grillin adventure offers a new Catamaran experience for the whole family. Guests take in the sights of one of the world’s most beautiful beaches while sailing to snorkel sites on shallow reefs. While customers are snorkelling, swimming or sliding down the slide, the Chef is grillin’ a delicious late lunch. Grilled items include spare ribs, local fish tacos or beef burgers, accompanied by the usual sides, green salad, potato salad or pasta salad. A cookie or brownie tops off the meal.
