Kingston Harbour Evening Cruise & Maiden Cay Sunday Beach Escape
Set sail from Victoria Pier for a Friday night harbour cruise or a Sunday escape to Maiden Cay's white sand. Both trips include food, drinks and a DJ; the Sunday option adds a beach stop for swimming and sun.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Use reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral and meet local conservation expectations while staying sun-safe on deck or on Maiden Cay.
Protect your electronics
Bring a waterproof phone case or dry bag—the beach stop and sea spray make water protection essential for cameras and phones.
Prepare for movement
If you get seasick, take motion‑sickness meds before boarding; night and open‑water conditions can amplify rolling.
ID and boarding times
Bring government ID for check-in and arrive at the pier 30 minutes early for boarding and briefings.
