Private Bermuda Boat Charter: Snorkel, Cliff Jump & Wreck Snorkeling Cruise
Small-group private charter on Island Vibez explores Bermuda’s cliffs, caves and the HMS Vixen wreck. Expect guided snorkel stops, cliff jumps of varying heights, turtle sightings and local maritime storytelling.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring your own snorkel gear
Masks and fins fit better when you use your own; rentals are possible but can be limited — bring a mesh bag to keep them ventilated.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply mineral sunscreen before boarding to protect corals and avoid greasy residue on rental gear.
Know the cliff-jump rules
Listen to the captain’s briefing — tides and underwater rocks change jump safety; don’t jump under the influence and scout landing zones first.
Plan for sea conditions
Mornings are typically calmer; if you’re prone to seasickness, take preventative medication and sit toward the center of the boat.

Conservation Note
Many wreck sites are no-fishing zones to protect reef ecosystems; guests are asked to use reef-safe products and avoid touching coral.
Bermuda’s coast is dotted with shipwrecks and small forts; HMS Vixen was sunk as a blockship in 1896 and now serves as a protected marine habitat.
