Numerous sailing, snorkeling and glass bottom boat trips are offered from May through October, exclusively for Pompano guests. Some trips are offered more than once per week. During the months of June, July and August, a different boat excursion is typically offered each day of the week. The resort only features boat cruises/trips that have proven to be very popular. Pompano doesn’t receive any commissions from the boat companies and never marks up the boat’s prices. Sign up sheets for each water excursion are posted at the resort’s front desk.
