Plus if you are new to any of the activities listed above, you can also receive unlimited free lessons.  Last year on my family's first visit to Turks and Caicos, we wanted to get out on the water but were not sure about going out by ourselves, so we took advantage of the above and beyond service offered by Beaches.  We decided we wanted to take a ride on a Hobie Cat so one of their staff, Captain Nemo, drove the boat while we relaxed and enjoyed the gorgeous water and amazing scenery.

A great example of great training was what I watched as I relaxed on the beach. I saw one of the Beaches staff taking time to teach a group of 4 people how to wakeboard.  He worked with them on the beach at first and went over the equipment and how to use it and what to do in certain situations. Then he took them out into the water and worked with them some more. I could see by how well these people were doing, that the lesson really helped them. It definitely helped them to enjoy themselves more and not get discouraged.

Also while I sat there, I saw a guest who wanted to go snorkeling so she hopped into a boat with a couple staff members and they took her out to that area and stayed with her until she was done.

This year while my daughter was having fun with the other kids at Camp Sesame, and I was content sitting on the beach with a drink, my husband said he wanted to give the Hobie Cat a shot by himself.  All he had to do was go to the Watersports desk and give them his name and room number, put on a life jacket, get the boat turned around with the help of a staff member and sail away.

I was a little skeptical at first of his sailing skills, but the smaller size of the Hobie Cat makes it easy to maneuver and my husband had a great time sailing around. He actually went out a bit farther than I thought he would, but he had no problems and came back raving about how much fun it was and tried to get me to out with him, but I was content relaxing and enjoying the ocean breeze from my beach chair.  

We had time on our final day at Beaches to do a water activity we all could enjoy.  We signed up for the Glass Bottom Boat ride. As it turns out we were the only three people to sign up so we got the boat and the attention of the three staff members to ourselves for about an hour.

The views of the ocean were amazing and educational. We learned that Turks and Caicos has one of the largest coral reefs in the world and it is very popular for scuba diving and snorkeling.  At times they would turn off the engine and just let the boat float above the coral reef so we got to see a lot of pretty views of the reef as well as the fish that live there. 

The water around Turks and Caicos is home to a huge array of different fish, so luckily, the boat has handy identification charts for the passengers.  Also, the staff on the boat were very knowledgeable and entertaining and they made the trip even more enjoyable.

If you are planning on a trip to Beaches Turks and Caicos, I would definitely encourage you and your family to set aside time to take advantage of the all-inclusive watersports.
