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.

The staff was very wonderful and attentive. The music was absolutely horrible , did not give island vibes at all it was like I was in a department store.

Took a little to get going but the experiences was amazing! The drink options were great with lots of cocktails and good snacks. Lunch was a great chicken dish and relaxing on the ocean was so nice! We were able to see a plane fly over Maho beach which was also great. The snorkeling was cool for the wreck but it was a bit of a swim and I think our group wanted a few more fish. The service was impeccable and the size of the ship/person that was there was comfortable. If you’re looking for a relaxing day around the island, swimming in the water and drinking rum punch this is your vibe! Relaxing day with a little fun :). I think I would have liked maybe a little more history or information on the island but they didn’t promise that so I wasn’t expecting it. Great job team!

We loved our day on the Phoenix! The Captain and crew were amazing! They took great care in assuring we had the best time. Lots of water, beer and cocktails generously served. The food was amazing! Loved having a Caribbean chicken meal on board. It was a lovely surprise!

The experience itself was pretty darn good. It would’ve been nice to have a fewer passengers due to the fact that the boats didn’t really have specific places for everybody to sit. The snorkeling was good, even though not all of us participated and the swim/lunch was a really great part of the trip. Everyone that worked on the boat was excellent. They were helpful, accommodating, and always making sure their guest were having fun and had what they needed. The boat is exceptionally nice and well kept. It was very easy to get in and out of both on and off boarding as well as swimming. Overall, it was a great afternoon. Really, the only not so great thing was it just felt crowded.

We had a great time on this excursion. The seas were a little rough that day, but the crew did everything they could and bent over backwards to make sure we had a great time. The open bar was flowing with just about any mixed drink you could want and plenty of local beer. The onboard chef cooked a perfect lunch and the scenery sailing down the coast was amazing. Just about every Caribbean vacation we take we find time for a catamaran tour. This tour was a great time and I will certainly be back next time we are on the island.

One of the best Experiences I had while on vacation! The whole crew was awesome! We started off with the first stop being snorkeling and it was soo cool to swim with the fish and see the sunken submarine, cannon and helicopter. Being this was my first time snorkeling, they were very patient and made sure everyone was safe and had fun! You cannot beat a day of sailing around this beautiful island on a boat with unlimited drinks and food including a chef cooked lunch which was delicious! The boat was a good size so not at any time did we feel like we were on top of everyone. Seeing the island from the sea is a different experience and will def do this again on my next trip!

Crew was fantastic. Food and drinks were excellent. If you looking for a kid free relaxing vibes this is not it. Stopped at 2 spots 1 to snorkel, second was to pull out the pad, and stand up boards.
