Seaside Tours
South Bank Marina, 1 Long Bay Highway, Long Bay, Providenciales
Ready to explore whimsical coastlines, snorkeling reefs, and idyllic cays? Seaside Tours is a boat charter company that offers primarily private trips to the fascinating cays northeast of Providenciales and the attractions in its surrounding waters.
One of the newest charters on the island, the company offers private half-day and full-day adventures with snorkeling, private and shared fishing trips, and sunset tours.
Popular stops on Seaside Tours charters include Little Water Cay, where inquisitive Turks and Caicos Islands Rock Iguanas roam freely, Leeward Reef, the La Famille Express shipwreck, and the nearby floating bars.
Tours are customizable, so if there’s a particular cay or beach you want to visit—such as Half Moon Bay, Water Cay, Fort George Cay, or Pine Cay—all you have to do is ask.
Private Charters Near Providenciales
Booking a private charter around Providenciales is a great way to explore the natural and human-made marine attractions in the island’s vicinity.
Seaside Tours’ private charters take place aboard the company’s vessel, Autumn Skye—a center console powerboat with powerful four-stroke engines. This boat features a comfortable bow with ample seating and a walk-around deck that can accommodate groups of up to 12. It is outfitted with a sound system that you can connect to via Bluetooth.
Half-day, full-day, and bottom fishing charters include snorkel gear and life jackets, small bites, and drinks. The boat’s cooler is stocked with rum punch, beer from the local Turk's Head Brewery, water, and soft drinks.
Charters depart from the South Bank Marina in Long Bay. The marina has free parking and the Sail Shades restaurant, a small Caribbean cuisine eatery.
Full-Day and Half-Day Charters
To see the full range of what the ocean near Providenciales has to offer, you’ll want to book a full-day charter.
Seaside Tours’ full-day charters can be customizable, depending on what your group wants to do. You can snorkel and dive for conch and lobster (seasonal), grill it on a desolate beach, and enjoy a full feast of macaroni and cheese, jerk chicken, and more. Or, you can spend extended time with the iguanas on Little Water Cay and snorkel off Fort George Cay, where you’ll see lobster, parrotfish, and cannons that are more than 200 years old.
Half-day charters typically last about four hours, and popular stops include the La Famille Express—a shipwreck grounded in the Caicos Banks—the floating bars near Providenciales, and Little Water Cay. These tours will also take you to a snorkeling reef, where you can encounter a range of marine life, including colorful reef fish, diverse corals, and sometimes dolphins, stingrays, and turtles.
Fishing Tours
The Turks and Caicos Islands are known for having great fishing right offshore. With a cast of your fishing rod, you can pull up species like yellowtail snapper, Nassau grouper, and even barracuda aboard Seaside Tours’ half-day bottom fishing charter.
The boat can accommodate groups of 4–6 people for fishing. They’ll also help you prepare your fish once you’ve reeled it in, and light up a grill on a nearby beach so you can cook it fresh.
Shared Fishing Tours
In addition to their private fishing excursions, Seaside Tours runs a shared fishing charter on Wednesdays that allows you to fish the surrounding waters without having to book a private charter. Seaside Tours' shared charters require a minimum of four people to run and can accommodate a maximum of six.
Sunset Cruises
Ideal for couples,families, or friends, this two-hour cruise is a relaxing way to experience the sunset while listening to music. It includes cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and magical views of the island’s renowned sunsets.
