| Cruises Sailing and Water Tours Sailing With artifacts which date back to the predynastic periods, Elephantine Island is one of the most ancient sites in Egypt. Spend a few hours exploring the largest island of the region which has an important role on Egyptian history. Elephantine Island is the largest of the Aswan area islands, and is one of the most ancient sites in Egypt, with artifacts dating to predynastic periods. This is probably due to its location at the first Cataract of the Nile, which provided a natural boundary between Egypt and Nubia. As an island, it was also easily defensible. In fact, the ancient town located in the southern part of the island was also a fortress through much of it's history. At one time, there was a bridge from the mainland to the island. Elephantine is Greek for elephant. In ancient times, the Island, as well as the southern town, was called Abu, or Yabu, which also meant elephant. The town has also been referenced as Kom, after it's principle god of the island, Khnum (Khnemu). It is believed that the island received it's name because it was a major ivory trading center, though in fact, it was a major trading post of many commodities. There are large boulders in the river near the island which resembled bathing elephants, particularly from afar, and this too has been suggested as a reason for the island's name. Please note: |

The first stop of the tour is at the wild dolphin playground to see dolphins swimming, hunting & feeding together, jumping naturally, courting each other, mating and even caring for their babies. When they 're not too busy, they love to swim along with the ECHO, just like they do with each other! Dolphins can swim 30 MPH, so they always decide where they go, but they seem to know and feel safe swimming along side ECHO, so they often do. The second stop is at a nearby shallow water shipwreck encrusted by the coral reef, or wherever the calmest conditions are that day. You will snorkel in clear tropical waters supporting over 600 different species of sea-life. You will always be taken to the calmest / clearest water and be provided excellent snorkeling instructions. Sanitized snorkeling equipment is individually fitted to each passenger. After snorkeling, enjoy a fresh shower and a premium tropical fruit tray, along with Fritto-Lay snacks, Coke/Pepsi drinks and a great cruise back to Key West.

| Cruises Sailing and Water Tours Sailing No trip to St. Martin is complete without a day trip to the gorgeous and unspoiled island of sun and sand - Anguilla. You'll cruise to the island by catamaran, go snorkeling off Sandy Island and spend a relaxing afternoon on Anguilla's Road Bay Beach.

| Cruises Sailing and Water Tours Sailing Any trip to St. Martin would not be complete without a day trip to the gorgeous and unspoiled island of sun and sand - 'Anguilla', and her unparalleled sister - 'Prickly Pear Cay'. Lambada's 10 year history of party boat fun, family gatherings and outstanding crew have made her a constant in the line up of #1 excursions. Lambada 63' sail cat was the first new breed of day charter cats to arrive in St. Martin in 1996. The boats are very spacious areas with proper seating, a walk up bar and two toilets. There are two nets up front which guests prize as prime positions to sunbathe while sailing, and an angled ladder that is lowered in the front for effortless access and exit into the water when snorkeling. Lambada provides the means to enjoy what both islands have to offer - food, drink, snorkeling and incredible white sandy beaches. This is the trip often asked for by boat name and not destination. The heady combination of sailing, rum punches and fun loving crew members, ensure a day committed to memory and the scrapbooks. We enjoy a tremendous amount of return guests who name the boat and crew as their number one vacation trip. This little Cay is pure paradise, lying a short distance off the coast of Anguilla. Completely deserted excepting for the two little restaurants that provide lunch to visitors, nobody lives on Prickly Pear and restaurant staff travel over each day to be of service. This destination is all about relaxation as palm trees bask in the sun and sugar birds dart through the restaurant. Simply gorgeous, Prickly Pear is a great choice for families with kids as the boat anchors for the day in one spot with a nice long beach and shallow waters. Lunch is also a choice of BBQ chicken, fish or ribs and the day is spent languidly snorkeling, swimming or sunbathing.
