Boat-only Christmas Cove snorkel stop with a small wreck and turtles.
Sunken Sailboat is a sheltered Christmas Cove snorkel stop built around a small wreck that now acts as an artificial reef. Charter boats usually time the visit for calm water, making it an easy sightseeing stop with nearby reef edges, regular turtle chances, and time to drift the wreck before moving on. Plan for a relaxed boat-based stop, not a long swim, and leave space for photos or a second lap if the cove stays quiet.
