Little Bay
We will pick you up at Bobby's Marina at the wooden gazebo in front of Aziana's restaurant. After a short safety briefing, we will cast off along the beautiful shoreline of Sint Maarten. Get comfortable on board, and find your own private spot. Our first stop will be at Little Bay. This small pretty beach is well protected by the outcrop of Fort Amsterdam right on the edge of Philipsburg. There you can enjoy a one hour guided snorkel tour with plenty of sea life, a sunken helicopter and submarine. This is the perfect spot to explore the tropical underwater world. For our snorkelling enthusiasts, Little Bay offers one of the rare beach snorkel locations, as the waters here are generally calm due to its 'cove like' nature and also the installation of solid rocky beach breaks. This makes it an ideal spot for children and beginners, and you can also use our selection of water equipment thus there is plenty to do for all of our guests.
Maho Beach
We will slowly sail by at Maho Beach, located across the Princess Juliana International Airport runway, where we will watch planes take off and land - depending on plane schedules. We cannot stop there but will try to catch a plane above our mast. An absolutely astonishing view to enjoy while having a cold beverage or socializing at the inside bar. Have yourself a drink (cocktails, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages), and allow our hostesses to spoil you. After watching the planes, we will cast off to our next stop, Mullet Bay.

We spent a wonderful day snorkeling, sunbathing and sipping cocktails on this very comfortable catamaran. The captain and his crew were very welcoming and we quickly slipped into island mode. After spending time in the water, we had a delicious lunch accompanied by a well equipped bar and lots of good island vibes and music. We were all chatting away and relaxed in no time. What a great excursion! Thank you Captain Ben, Amelia, Camille and Anthony for a great time in Sint Maarten. Mary and Cliff de Wolff.

The crew made the experience from the wonderful meal prepped in the cabin to the service provided around the deck. They were constantly visible and offering refreshments and beverages. The catamaran itself is showing its age but don’t let that detract from the experience.

It was an awesome experience! The only difficulty was that we didn't get our captain playlist, which was out of this world

Was a great boat, very roomy and clean. The best thing about the trip was the crew. They were all exceptional. Food and drinks were by far the best we have had on any type of trip like this. If you do a trip use this boat and crew.

The crew and lunch were great. They went out of their way to make a drink, help with equipment and made it a fun experience. I found that the snorkeling experience was not that great as the water was merky.
