Overview
From Gustavia the private boat circles the island: a snorkel in Colombier bay on the northwest, a pass by the reserve islets of Île Frégate and Toc Vers on the northeast, and swim stops at Anse de Grande Saline and Anse du Gouverneur beaches on the south. Speed limits and reserve rules apply along the northeast coast. The route is set with the group and the wind.
