On the Water Introduction Anguilla and its environs are ideal for a day cruise on a pleasure boat; there are a number of idyllic small islands off the coast and over 30 beaches around the mainland. They all form perfect stop-offs when you are out cruising for the day. Some islands have places to eat (Scilly Cay and Sandy Island) whilst some are perfectly deserted (Prickly Pear and Dog Island). In any case, cruise charter companies take this into account and provide the food and drinks as necessary. Cruises & Pleasure Boats Cruises are done either on luxury catamarans or powerboats. You can cruise to nearby islands (St. Martin, St. Barthelemy) too or choose a sunset cruise - a relaxing and beautiful way to see the sun go down. Fishing is for the more energetic as it involves catching large pelagic fish such as wahoo, dorado, kingfish, sailfish and marlin plus large reef visitors such as barracuda and grouper.

Fishing Fishing generally is done by trawling live bait or lures. Trips are usually whole or half-day affairs and drinks and food are provided accordingly. Always remember to ask the fishing charter companies whether you get to keep the fish you catch as, if you get lucky, any local chef's eyes will light up and you will be especially welcome in the restaurant!

Kite-Surfing Conditions are great in Anguilla for kite-surfing, particularly at Savannah Bay. The Trade Winds mean wind conditions year round are excellent and the conditions out on the water are perfect for getting great air time!
