I am not a boat lover, just crazy about snorkeling and would like to go to Flanagan Island and Newfound Bay. I know that White Wing can take us there, but that's an 8 hour day. SerenaSea is a power boat and we can do this in 4 hrs.
Would love to hear from people who have taken this charter. And any reviews on snorkeling Newfound Bay or Flanagan? Thanks!

Serena Sea was a fun snorkel excursion

We had a great sunny morning out on the beautiful vintage Serena Sea with Captain Marie and co-captain Jason. The boat on Coral Bay can take 6 but it was just 3 of us: my husband, myself and our grown daughter. They provided bottle water, soda etc as well as a snack and stronger beverages on the way back.
I loved sitting up top with my daughter while we motored out to Flanagan Island. The snorkeling was really wonderful. Visibility was awesome and current/wave action quite doable this day. The island is way out there so I wouldn't want to do this on a rough day and I'm sure Captain Marie would agree.
We snorkeled a long time and then went over to Hurricane Hole. My husband and I snorkeled Hurricane Hole last year and thought (for one minute) it might be too redundant to snorkel it again. No way! The water was like glass and it was really memorable.
On our way back, we were served chips & salsa as well as beverages. I forgot that I shouldn't drink a rum punch after taking Bonine (to prevent sea sickness). That made me take a nap that afternoon!
Marie woud have taken us to Newfoundland Bay as I initially wanted when we arranged the trip, but we decided the day before that we didn't want to spend more than the morning out on the water. Next time we'll do it with Serena Sea.
We ended our outing by joining the rest of our family for lunch at Skinny Legs right where Serena Sea is docked.
Highly recommend this to any avid snorkeler who doesn't want to spend too much time on a sail boat to enjoy the ocean and snorkeling with access from Coral Bay.
