Seated dinners feature beef, chicken and seafood, accompanied by vegetable dishes, salads and a homemade dessert each evening. Special dietary requirements may be catered for with prior notification, although not all can be accommodated due to the remote nature of the location.

Fruit juices, soft drinks, iced water, tea and coffee are complimentary throughout your Turks & Caicos liveaboard trip, together with a selection of local beers and wine.
