The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Sunscreen is provided by you — use reef-safe SPF and reapply after swimming to protect coral and marine life.
Prepare for motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding and sit midship where motion is least noticeable.
Pack a lightweight cover-up
Even on a naturist cruise, a light shirt or sarong is useful for sun protection while moving through marinas or shaded deck areas.
Hydrate and snack between swims
Nine hours on the water means steady hydration—drink regularly and use provided snacks to keep energy up for snorkeling and paddleboarding.

Conservation Note
Tintamarre and surrounding reefs are sensitive to anchoring and sunscreen pollution—use mooring buoys where available and reef-safe sunscreen to reduce impact.
The island’s ports grew around 17th–18th century trade routes and small-scale salt and sugar operations; the French and Dutch halves of the island still reflect different maritime traditions.
