What To Expect
Our fast and stable power catamarans take you comfortably between stops, giving you more time to swim, snorkel, relax, and explore some of St. Maarten’s most beautiful locations—many accessible only by boat. Creole Rock – A vibrant snorkeling site within the Marine Reserve, known for clear water, colorful reefs, and marine life such as tropical fish, sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, and occasionally dolphins. Pinel Island – A charming island with a laid-back atmosphere, sandy beaches, calm waters for paddleboarding, a small gift shop, and its famous friendly iguanas. Tintamarre Island – A beautiful remote island with pristine beaches and excellent chances to swim alongside sea turtles. La Samanna or Mullet Bay – A final beach stop chosen by the captain based on conditions, both perfect for relaxing and one last swim. Plane Spotting – If timing allows, we’ll cruise past Maho Beach to watch jets land just overhead! Stops and order may vary depending on weather and sea conditions.

The Captain, Toby, explained everything and gave us plenty of time at all the individual sites. The ship was very comfortable even with all persons on board. I would highly recommend!

5.00That was the best snorkeling tour I booked on this vacation! You reach the remote spots in the nature reserves. Good chances of seeing rays, turtles, and colorful fish; unfortunately, the corals are also heavily damaged here. The food is sensational for a boat tour! The crew is super nice, and you are really pampered. Access to the water via the stairs is very easy
Great boat, crew (Toby...

5.00Great boat, crew (Toby and Angelo), equipment for water activities, food and drinks. Everyone on the boat had a decent time despite the wind and a periodic rain. The only complaint is the meeting place is no longer the yacht club, the new place is the dingy dock 10 minutes further. Luckily we made it on time..
Best part of our vacation.
