Picture clear Caribbean waters along an endless coast. Hawksbill and Green Sea Turtles gliding beneath you. With so few guests on board, everything is relaxed — no queues, no rush, just you and the ocean. In between snorkel stops you can stretch out on deck while the coastline drifts past, your glass always full. Relax as the morning mellows into afternoon; or as the afternoon gives way to sunset hues. It's a day for time to stand still — at least for a little while.
Our catamarans are certified to carry around forty passengers. We sail with roughly twelve. That has been our way since our very first cruise in 2002. This decision shapes every detail of your time on board. From the unhurried attention of our crew to the feeling that you have a private yacht and the whole coast to yourselves. Over six thousand five-star reviews later, the number twelve became synonymous with Dreams Catamaran Cruises, the birthplace of luxury catamaran experiences in Barbados.
Most of our guests come back. Some every year. Join us for a cruise, and understand why.

GUEST REVIEWS
We had an AMAZING time and now completely understand why those we were with were all repeat visitors. I can't fathom going back to Barbados and not spending another day with the Silver Moon. The absolute highlight of our trip; I can't recommend them highly enough.
This was the best catamaran experience my husband and I have ever had and we've been on dozens over the years. The staff was incredible. When the tuna for lunch was grilled on-board I was blown away! We literally want to plan a trip to Barbados just to take this catamaran trip again!!
Silvermoon is our go-to excursion when visiting Barbados. Captain Richard and his crew do an amazing job. The service, food and drinks are wonderful. Having only 12 people on such a large catamaran makes for a great experience. It's like being on a private yacht.
Almost certainly. Hawksbill turtles are resident in Barbados year-round and our crew know exactly where to find them. While wildlife can never be guaranteed, it's rare for us to miss them — and when you do find them, you'll be swimming alongside them in calm, clear water rather than watching from a crowded boat.
We recommend wearing a swimsuit under comfortable beach clothing. Please bring a beach towel, sunglasses, sun screen (reef-safe preferred), and a hat. We provide all snorkeling equipment and safety gear. A light jacket or long sleeves can be nice for the evening sunset cruises when it cools down slightly.
Our catamarans depart from the Shallow Draught Harbour in Bridgetown. For your convenience, complimentary round-trip hotel transfers are included in our cruises from most hotels and villas on the West and South Coasts of Barbados, as well as the cruise ship terminal.
Unlike other tours that pack 40-50 people on a catamaran, we limit our shared cruises to an average of just 12 guests. This ensures everyone has plenty of space to lounge, enjoy unhurried attention from our crew, and experience a peaceful, private yacht atmosphere.
