Located in the Caribbean Sea some 70km west of Antigua, the island of Nevis is the smaller of the two islands making up the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. It is one of the most unspoilt and relaxing islands in the Caribbean. Vividly green with blue skies, clean air and long empty beaches, Nevis has a gentle pace of life that encourages you to stop and appreciate the natural beauty around you. A perfect setting, then, for a challenge to swim from one island to another!
The Nevis to St. Kitts Cross Channel Swim started in 2002 and the number of competitors has grown year by year with almost 300 swimmers now taking part from around the world! The race is inclusive, supporting a range of swimming abilities from world-class swimmers to those who appreciate the challenge and sense of accomplishment of swimming from Nevis to St Kitts. Plus, you can see the bottom throughout the race, making it a truly unique event.
With a number of accommodation options, you will be sure to find something perfect for you. This package includes your entry into the annual Nevis to St Kitts Cross Channel Swim.

Reviews
The SwimTrek customer service staff were great to deal with as they were responsive as well as detailed in their responses. This information helped how I planned my trip and training for the race.
Another fantastic holiday with SwimTrek! The team gave great guidance on how to approach the race course, and offered terrific support on the water. Something for all levels. Recommend their race and recreational formats.
SwimTrek provided the bridge between an idea and a reality. I didn't think I would ever be able to accomplish an open water event like this until I looked into SwimTrek. SwimTrek ensures you are supported and safe the whole trip. I have created lifelong memories through my cross-channel swim from Nevis to St. Kitts with SwimTrek and can't wait until my next swim adventure!
