The best way to see the island and have fun - Fantastic crew and boat. This trip was the highlight of our Caribbean cruise shore experiences. The 2 snorkelling and 1 swimming opportunity were great and the time on Pinal Island outstanding (especially the iguanas). The weather allowed for a complete circumnavigation of the island. Well done and thanks to all on Captain Bob.

Best day of our trip! - St. Maarten was the best stop of our cruise, and this tour was why. Our entire day was amazing, from the snorkeling, to Pinel, to the planes, I can't say enough. Did this tour with my husband and two teenage boys (13 & 16), and we all loved it! Just book it!

Amazing day on the water - An absolutely wonderful day out during our visit to Saint Marten. The sea was not flat but the 40’ boat handled it like it was a mild chop. Captain Anthony and First Mate CJ were both professional and informative. We saw wild dolphins, turtles, tropical fish as well as Iguanas. The lunch and drinks were great and the information provided on the history, as well as the current affairs, of the Islands was fascinating. Being a smaller and faster boat, than the large tour boats, made for a more intimate and interesting experience. Will definitely take this trip again when next in the islands. Great value for money.

Good way to see the island early in your stay! - I was cautious about picking a tour as I have been on some that were nothing special. However, the reviews don’t lie! Captain Bret and Dylan were excellent guides and we zipped around the island to view all of the St Martin Crown Jewels. This tour is particularly good to go on early in your stay so you can get a feel for places you might want to come back to. My boyfriend and I had a load of fun and got to know the people we were riding with. There was 16 of us total and we all fit comfortably. There was also plenty of drinks for everyone! Lunch served at the halfway point.

Perfect way to see the island in a day. - My girlfriend and I went on this excursion in December of 2024 and it was amazing. Captain Brett and Dillon were incredible hosts and made the whole experience worth it. Drinks were provided the whole time if wanted and lunch was provided (in the form of a good sub sandwich) at the halfway stopping point. If that wasn’t enough; the water was beautiful and every stop we made was full of beautiful swimming/snorkeling and knowledgeable tidbits that made it fantastic experience. We were staying on the island for a week and chose to do this trip on our first day so that we could determine our favorite spots/beaches, as well as other places we wanted to visit. Between the stops we made on the trip and the tips of Brett and Dillon, we knew exactly what we wanted to do for the rest of our trip. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting St. Martin/Sint Maarteen and especially those visiting on a cruise ship who only have one day to see it all.
