A Day of Island Exploration
A custom day on the water unfolds effortlessly when every detail is pre-arranged. Morning begins quietly over Deep Bay as you meet your private instructor at the Beach Club for a quick E-foil briefing, gliding across smooth, glassy water before the island fully awakens.
By mid-morning, your party steps directly onto a private yacht moored at our marina, setting a course north toward Anegada. You spend the afternoon snorkeling vibrant outer reefs, spotting eagle rays, and enjoying fresh grilled lobster right on the sand.
As late afternoon arrives, your captain navigates back through the North Sound just as the sun dips below the horizon. You return directly to your residential dock, where you can indulge in private chef services and oceanfront dining right at your villa. After consecutive days filled with ocean exploration, you can also recharge with holistic treatments at Sundara Spa + Studio to relax your body and restore your energy before your next venture out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do we book private boat charters and water sports during our stay?
Our resort concierge and activities team handle all bookings directly.

You can also use our site to tailor your island itinerary with bespoke experiences prior to arrival.
Are the water sports suitable for beginners and young children?
Yes. The waters within our protected bay remain remarkably calm, creating an ideal setting for young children and beginners learning to paddleboard, kayak, or sail Hobie Cats. Private lessons are available for all age groups and skill levels.
What equipment is available directly on-site at Oil Nut Bay?
Our beach activity center stocks glass-bottom kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, Hobie Cats, snorkeling sets, Seabobs, wing foils, and E-foils. Motorized craft, including wakeboard boats and jet skis, are maintained on-property for guest use.
What are the best sea conditions for wind-powered sports versus offshore cruising?
