What You'll See

The Itinerary: Carysfort Lighthouse & The Schooner Wreck

Site 1 — Carysfort Reef Lighthouse: Visit the historic Carysfort Reef, the northernmost Mission: Iconic Reefs site inside a Sanctuary Preservation Area. Protected shallow conditions (15–25 feet) with pristine coral and abundant fish life — perfect for snorkel-only exploration.

Site 2 — The 300ft Wooden Schooner: The historic schooner wreck rests in extremely shallow water, only about 8 feet deep, offering perfect visibility for snorkeling. High-speed transit on The Siren maximizes your time in the water.

Northern Reef Focus on The Siren

We bypass busier central areas and head directly to the uncrowded northern sanctuary reefs for a more intimate encounter with marine life. You travel aboard our custom 40-foot Corinthian Catamaran, The Siren, limited to 70% capacity.
