Our Transport Canada Certified Vessels of various sizes can take up to 5, 11 or 22 passengers! Your captain will take you by boat to some of the area's beautiful clear-water locations, with opportunities to snorkel, swim and enjoy time on the water away from the crowds.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN
Every private charter is a little different. Where we go and what we do will depend on the day's weather and water conditions, your group's interests and swimming or snorkelling abilities.
Want to spend more time snorkelling? We can do that.
Prefer a relaxing swim in beautiful Georgian Bay water? Absolutely.
Have kids or first-time snorkellers who want some extra help getting comfortable? We can slow things down and help them build confidence.
Because the boat is reserved exclusively for your group, we have the flexibility to create an experience that works for you.

SNORKEL GEAR AVAILABLE
Want the complete experience? Add a snorkel gear package at a discounted rate for Private Charter guests.
Full Snorkel Gear Rental is just $45 per person, including mask, snorkel, fins and full wetsuit.
That's a $20 savings compared with our regular $65 rental package.
Wetsuits are highly recommended. Georgian Bay is beautiful and clear, but even on a warm summer day, the water can be refreshingly cool.
WHERE WILL WE GO?
Part of the adventure is choosing the best location for the day.
Your captain will consider wind, waves, water conditions, boat traffic and your group's abilities when selecting where to swim and snorkel. This allows us to provide the best experience possible rather than promising one specific location regardless of conditions.
JUST YOUR GROUP, OUT ON THE WATER
No crowds and no need to keep pace with another group.
Just your group, your captain and time to experience one of the things that makes Tobermory so special: the incredible water beneath you.
Book your Private Snorkel & Swim Boat Charter and experience Tobermory from above and below the surface.
