Best excursion! - Captain Anthony and CJ were the best captains ever. The tour was so informative because their vast knowledge of the island. Lunch was terrific, and the drinks never ended. They provided masks and snorkels and gave us so many opportunities to see all the fish we wanted. If you are in Saint Maarten, you absolutely need to book this adventure.

One of the best excursions, hands down. - Easily one of the best excursions I’ve had. We’ve done tons of excursions mostly through the cruise line and this one was recommended to us to do outside of RC. Easy access from the port, quick walk, easy set up and had the best day. Our guide was amazing and cared about our experience! St Marten is one of our favorite islands, have visited many times and this trip still blew us away by how beautiful it is. We usually do a catamaran tour but decided to do this tour because it can take you in many more places than just the catamaran and we were not disappointed one bit. We went with 8 people total, including our parents, one of which uses a medical walking brace so it’s difficult to find excursions that will accommodate her disability but our guide was excellent. I was impressed by the way he helped and treated her so kindly and made sure her safety was his priority. Thank you so much for such a great experience. I don’t remember his name but our guide was amazing!

We had a blast. Our... - We had a blast. Our guides Alphie and Alex (sorry if not the correct spelling of their names) were awesome. It was the highlight of our 8 day cruise. We had three young children (8,5,3) in our party of 6. They were all able to enjoy the trip and my youngest and oldest were able to swim/snorkel. My five year old had a great time just enjoying the ride. Pinel Island was beautiful and it was neat to see all of the amazing sights along the trip. All in all a great day!

Totally awesome experience. - We rode with owner of Captain Bob. He was awesome! They made sure our every need was catered too and made sure we had a good time. Very friendly crew. The experience was awesome. We got to swim with turtles and see lots of different fish. Got to see the planes fly over our heads. Highly recommend the tour.

A 10/10 tour I would do over and over! - 10/10. Lunch and drinks are good. Weather was perfect and we were able to cruise around the entire island. Snorkeled at a few spots, got to see the planes fly over us while we swam, and got to pass all the fancy spots/yachts! Anthony and Alex were amazing tour guides and so fun to hang with all day. Thanks for an amazing trip guys!

Overall, a good trip with some reservations - Great way to see St. Maarten by boat, two stops for snorkeling and two stops for swimming. Captain appeared to be aloof, but mate was fantastic - really seemed to be concerned about the passengers, that they were safe and had a good time. I was uncomfortable when the captain made a crude sexual remark about a female paddle boarding past us (very unprofessional)! Sandwiches on board for lunch were mediocre. Unlimited beverages.
