Private Boat Excursions
Private Boat Excursions to Tobago Cays
From Union Island, the Tobago Cays are close enough for a private day on the water. Guests at Mer & Sel can ask about boat excursions to the Cays, Mayreau, Mopion, Palm Island, Chatham Bay, Ashton Lagoon, Petit Tabac, and other Southern Grenadines locations.
How It Works
Private days shaped by weather, group size, and timing.
Itineraries are adapted to conditions, availability, group size, and the kind of day guests want. Snorkeling gear and drinks are normally arranged with boat days, and lunch options such as lobster or BBQ may be possible depending on season and operator confirmation.
Boat prices are not shown online. Contact us for current availability and rates.
Boat Options
Two private boat options for different days.
Shaka
A larger 33 ft center-console speed boat with twin 350 HP Yamaha outboards, comfortable seating, dry cabin/storage, and experienced captain or crew. A good option for Tobago Cays, Mayreau, island transfers, and private group excursions.
TiLove
A smaller 22 ft RIB with a 130 HP outboard, useful for smaller groups, shorter trips, Tobago Cays, Mayreau, Mopion, and private transfers, subject to final group and weather confirmation.
