Imagine embarking on a unique sailing experience with 360 degree views of the turquoise hued Caribbean Sea. Your own private captain awaits, ready to serve ice cold refreshments, cook tasty home made burgers and sail along the stunning coastline while you kick back and relax to the soothing sounds of reggae. Sounds unreal doesn't it? Well, actually with BBQ Boat ANU you can do just that.

The owner, Dale, has created several different packages suitable for solo travellers, couples, friends and family with experiences lasting from 30-90 minutes. The boat tours comfortably seat up to 6 people and can include sharing boards, nibbles, refreshments, bbq lunches, a floating carpet and snorkelling equipment.

You, me and the sea
For US$100 per couple enjoy a 60 minute sail with a selection of unlimited drinks, snacks and a sharing board. This excursion is particularly popular early evening while the sun begins its descent and the sky transforms through a series of shades of gold to red.

All Aboard
From US$50 per person, extend your sail to 90 minutes to include a home made bbq food, snacks, drinks, snorkelling equipment or floatie.

The meeting point for the boat tours is on the beach close to the iconic red phone box by Siboney Bay Beach Club. A complimentary shuttle boat will take you out to Kon-Tiki, a floating bar with thatched roof - and the place to board the bbq boat.

Choose whether to indulge in a pre-sail tipple and soak up the views from the bar with its party-like vibe...

... or climb straight onboard the cheerfully coloured orange and white barbecue boat and prepare to set sail.

Once onboard, cold drinks are offered - soft drinks, wine or beer as the bbq heats up.

Choose from home made burgers or a vegan alternative, hot dogs, corn on the cob with garlic dip and toasted buns. Dietary requirements can be catered for, just inform Dale at the time of booking.
Where possible BBQ Boat ANU partners with local companies such as Antilles Stillhouse for it's gin, Oshen's Essentials for vegan burgers, hot dogs from Hall Valley Farm and locally grown corn from Ken's Farm.

Relax while your Captain sails around the picturesque bay framed by white sand. The water is mostly calm apart from occasional ripples made by passing jet skis. Watch pelicans dive for fish before gliding high into the hillside to their nests while enjoying the warmth of the Antiguan sunshine and it's cooling tropical breeze.

So whether you are seeking a tranquil half hour, a romantic excursion with a loved one or a fun-filled 90 minutes, look no further than Dale's BBQ Boats for a water based experience like no other.
