Hi There!
Sea Cat Discoveries is a new company based out of Jolly Harbour. We have a 25ft Panga style boat, called “Red Red Wine”, with a comfortable, cushioned seating area to sit or lounge on, as well as a retractable awning to keep you covered from the sun. She can also get into nearly any beach.
On a Sea Cat Discoveries tour, you will enjoy the beauty of Antigua’s coastline and white sand beaches, along with its amazing reefs, teeming with fish. As the boat carries a maximum of only 6 passengers, it means that you are getting one-on-one attention, guided by an experienced captain. We are able to explore lots of snorkeling spots and get into the little beaches which other boats cannot. You’ll also enjoy local snacks and drinks.
Our tours are all about providing a unique experience, and we can tailor them to your request. You can also feel comforted by the fact that we are a registered company, and meet all proper safety standards. We also provide you with snorkeling gear and safety belts.
Meet Our Captains
Between these two, you can rest assured that, not only are you in great hands, but your trip will be unique and unforgettable!
Captain Sheldon
Captain Sheldon’s career started off as young boy in the watersports department of a large local hotel where he learned how to sail and manage all types of water activities. A few years after, he was offered a position in a prominent catamaran company as a crew member and worked his way up to become Captain. As time moved on he went on to another catamaran company as a senior captain which is now Antigua’s premiere catamaran company.
With further aspirations and determination, it was only natural that he would progress to having his own boat. With over 25yrs of experience, he not only knows all the best spots to take you to, but a wealth of local knowledge.
Captain Akeale
Akeale affectionally known as “Rooky” came to us with home grown experience. His father being a fisherman, Rooky gained hands-on training from very young. He also worked hand in hand with Sheldon in the same catamaran company aspiring to be a Captain and obtaining licenses from OnDeck and Second Star Sailing. Young, energetic and full of information, he brings the expertise and memories you will cherish on a trip out with him.
Our Boat
Red Red Wine
A 25ft Eduardono panga style fishing boat, powered by 100HP Yamaha engine.
Originally a fishing boat, a few modifications were made, which included using her “fish box” as a lounge area with comfortable cushions to lay out on and relax.
Her retractable awning allows just the amount of sun you want, whilst keeping at bay the occasional drizzles of liquid sunshine.
She is licensed to carry a maximum of 8 persons plus 2 crew, but we only take a maximum of 6 guests for absolute comfort. Due to her size, she can get into all those little bays other boats cannot.
She is equipped with all the safety gear requirements, snorkeling apparel, buoyancy belts, and fishing rods. All you need are your towels and plenty sunscreen, and you’re ready to have a great time!
