San Pedro’s top-rated catamaran company is now sailing from Hopkins. The same premium catamarans, licensed crew, and unforgettable days on crystal-clear waters now depart from Hopkins, a laid-back Garifuna beach village in the Stann Creek District.

The reef sits roughly 14 miles offshore from Hopkins, about 30 to 45 minutes aboard a premium catamaran.
