Complimentary watersports are available in the afternoons
on most itineraries when anchored, on all three Windstar ships. Visit the
open-air watersports platform located aft. All watersports are offered sea
and weather conditions permitting. In the event of turbulent seas and
adverse weather conditions, watersports may be cancelled for safety
reasons.
Waterskiing:
Enjoy an open-water skiing adventure in an exotic lagoon, bay, or harbor.
For experienced skiers only. Skiing slots are typically half an hour and
take a maximum of two skiers at any one time. Sign up times are available
on the sports platform during open hours.
Kayaking:
Paddle off together to enjoy the coastal sights and get some exercise.
Kayaks are available for one or two people for half-an-hour and must be
entered from the water.
Windsurfing:
Among the most challenging of watersports. For experienced surfers only.
Sailing:
Enjoy the wind and the sea on the Topper or Rumba Escape Sailboats.
Designed for experienced sailors, sailboats accommodate one or two people.
Banana-Boat Rides:
A great way to experience the waters and coastlines of these beautiful
ports is from an exhilarating seat on the “banana” boat. Four to five
people may ride on the banana and a spotter is required to ride in the
boat. This is a bumpy ride for the adventurous!
Scenic Boat Rides:
A relaxing way to take a closer look at the surrounding coast and
wildlife. Come for a ride in one of our inflatable boats along scenic
coastlines. Don’t forget to bring a camera!
Swimming:
If a swim is all you desire, this too is an option. A swim line and
user-friendly ladder are provided as well as supervision for your safety.
Snorkeling:
Enjoy the underwater beauty of reefs, coral, sea life and sunken treasure
in many of the ports. Complimentary snorkel gear is provided. Snorkeling
excursions are available for an additional charge. Underwater cameras are
also available.
Discover Scuba Diving/Certified Scuba Diving Program:
Both programs are led by our dive-masters who are PADI certified. The
Discover Scuba Diving program for beginners includes a simple,
comprehensive classroom and pool session. After that, beginners can sign
up for designated dives. Experienced divers need to bring their
certification card and can accompany the dive masters on all dives
offered. |
