What a treat……..I’m thinking this had to be JoJo wanting to play with the boat.

What an amazingly beautiful day as guests headed out on an afternoon excursion on the turquoise waters …… look at the colours! We were just off Leeward Going Through when look who joined us? I’m pretty sure that it was JoJo the dolphin come to play. He stayed with us for a bit and then we were off headed for some snorkeling at the reef, iguanas, conch salad, Half Moon Bay and followed by some fun tubing  and water slide. Provo has many excellent boating, cruising and water fun excursions to offer as the one we were on. For more information, just contact us and we can make some suggestions.

The far end of the beach at Half Moon Bay is so beautiful to photograph….an idyllic spot.

Such an impressive looking iguana. The Rock Iguana Cyclura Carinata has had to be re introduced to less populated cays

Conch shell on the beach. A delicious “fresh from the sea” conch salad was made and enjoyed by all.

Book your excursions and enjoy being on the water in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Our beaches are spectacular and you can enjoy a cruise, diving for conch, taste some “as fresh as you can get it”conch salad, stop for some snorkeling on the reef, see iguanas and simply let the world float by as you finally relax on “island time”.

You too may be lucky and have JoJo the dolphin join in the fun.

Perfect Day in the Turks and Caicos

Cruising the waters of Providenciales with Island Vibes has to be one of the “must do’s” on your next trip to the Turks and Caicos.

We had a glorious, picture perfect day with calm seas as we boarded the boat…..and YES, I’ve lived here for almost 20 years and still am in awe of all the beauty around me.

Two dolfin came out to play with us today….a mother and her young one.

Many sand dollars partially hidden in the sand and the sparkling waters

Such scenery can only be found in the Turks and Caicos

Even a little sea star was taken back out a little further so it wouldn’t get stranded on the sand bar

It was a pretty rough ride for the kids on the way back………..time for some tubing and WOW did they go flying. Such fun as they hung on tight and still managed to fall off.

Screams of fun as the kids went tubing on the way back

Atabeyra Sail

Such unbelievably turquoise waters on the south side of Providenciales

There’s nothing quite like it………..sailing on the good ship Atabeyra, clear turquoise waters, blue skies with white puffy clouds and with wonderful friends. This time we sailed on the south side of Provo and out to the old freighter wreck.

"La Famille Express" is the name of the freighter as the Atabeyra anchors in calm waters just off it.

My favourite photo of this beautiful old boat....great for all kinds of group charters.

Such a nice day for a sail

We’re hoping you’ll get a chance to see our islands from the water.

Parasailing on Grace Bay

Posted on by

On the way up just off Coral Gardens on Grace Bay

A beautiful day on Grace Bay, the sun was shining, the waters were calm and it was a picture perfect day for a surprise birthday sky high trip. Thanks to Mike for all these great photos.

Toes, boat and ocean give you an idea of high up Mike was flying.

Panoramic view looking towards the DECR building towards Harbour Club Villas on the south shore.

The little blue and white dots are the Provo Sailing Club kids who were all out on their Pico’s just off the Bight Children’s Park. You can see Flamingo Lake and Juba Salina and Bajacu, the house on the hill right by Harbour Club Villas.

 

Aerial view of Flamingo Lake with Harbour Club Villas.

Grace Bay beach view looking towards the east.

Higher and higher, Mike was way up there.

 

We have the third largest barrier reef in the world.

Mike’s photo of the reef shows you the deep blue ocean on one side that’s over a thousand feet deep. The lighter turquoise blue is about ten to twenty feet deep and dotted with numerous coral heads that rise to within a few inches of the surface. The reef fringing the Turks and Caicos Islands is the world’s 3rd largest barrier reef. On Providenciales (Provo) the reef protects the North shore and breaks the incoming surf. This creates the calm, turquoise water that fringe our white sand beaches. No surf on this day just a breathtaking bird’s eye view!

Put parasailing on your "must do" list !

Hey! Can you make out that black speck on the sand about a half inch from the first building on the right? Well it’s ME. I had Mike’s phone and was snapping photos of him going up.

Happy landings after an amazing parasail.

Parasailing is one activity to plan for when enjoying the beaches along Grace Bay. The parasail boats pull in at various places along the beach to drop off and pick up guests.

Happy parasailing everyone!

Wow....what a gorgeous cruiser.........the boat I mean but Captain Keith was impressive too with bow tie and striped jacket.

Wow....what a gorgeous cruiser.........the boat I mean but Captain Keith was impressive too with bow tie and striped jacket.

Last night at South Side Marina which is adjacent to Harbour Club Villas’ Marina, we enjoyed a wonderful evening of champagne and a delicious buffet to celebrate the launching of Captain Keith’s luxury island charters. We walked down from the villas to our Marina docks and took a look at “Foot Loose” lit up for the party and the Christmas season. What a beautiful and elegant power cruiser she is!!

Motor out along the southern coastline or out to French Cay and West Caicos, perhaps a trip to South Caicos or even Grand Turk. You’ll be whisked away to deserted cays, do some snorkeling, total relaxation and when you get hungry, you’ll be served a sumptuous champagne buffet.

Freedom Luxury Charters is open for business. Enjoy cruising onboard Foot Loose. Email me for more information and I’ll put you in touch with Captain Keith.

 

Happy Island Cruisin’ at your leisure. All the best Keith and much success.
