  If you’re even considering a boat charter in Saint Martin, stop looking and book with Billy Bones Tours—and if you can, request Jad and Eli. These two absolutely made our day and delivered one of the best charter experiences we’ve had anywhere. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Jad and Eli struck the perfect balance of professional, friendly, and fun. They were incredibly welcoming, helped everyone on and off the boat with ease and care, and immediately set a relaxed, upbeat tone that carried through the entire trip. Their energy was lighthearted and infectious, but never over the top—just genuine island hospitality at its finest. What really stood out was how much they shared about Saint Martin’s history and culture along the way. It added so much depth to the experience and made the island come alive in a way you just don’t get from a guidebook. And when it came time to relax, they were fantastic hosts—drinks flowing (did someone say rum punch!?!?!), glasses never empty, and always with a smile. Then there was the fun. Jad and Eli clearly know that part of a great charter is giving guests the option to turn things up a notch. The high‑speed runs and wild S‑turns were an absolute blast—pure adrenaline, constant laughter, and the kind of moments people talk about long after the vacation is over. Thrilling, but always felt safe and controlled in the hands of true professionals. And let’s talk about lunch—because wow. They brought us to an amazing local BBQ spot, and it was nothing short of incredible. We had the chicken and ribs, and as a pit master myself, I don’t hand out compliments lightly—especially when it comes to ribs. These were hands-down the best ribs I’ve had outside the U.S. Perfectly cooked over open charcoal pits, with incredible flavor, tenderness, and that unmistakable smoke you only get when it’s done right. Absolute standout meal and a highlight of the trip all by itself. All told, this was a five‑star, no‑notes experience. Jad and Eli are the kind of captains who elevate a great tour into a truly memorable one. Incredible service, tons of fun, local knowledge, amazing food, and fantastic vibes from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Billy Bones Tours again—and we’ll be asking for Jad and Eli every single time. Highly, highly recommended. 🌴🚤🍹🔥

  Our family of 4 adults really enjoyed our full day on the water. Our captain Jad, and Eli were fantastic. We got some history and information about the island. On our first snorkel stop we saw many different varieties of fish and some saw a barracuda. The second stop was where the turtles hang out. We also saw some dolphins along the way. We stopped for lunch at a Lolo in Grande Case. We selected what we wanted for lunch when we signed in for the tour. Three of us had the catch of the day-mahi mahi and one had ribs. It was a delicious plate full of food that we all enjoyed. Jad gave us a great combination of speeds and s-turns throughout the day. One of our last brief stops was at Maho where we got to see a few planes start to land over us. All in all we loved our day and would definitely recommend it.

  I can't say enough how amazing this tour was. Chad and Eli were fantastic captains and we loved every stop. They offered a lot of information about the island, history, culture and homes we passed. It was more than a beach day. We truly enjoyed lunch and the hospitality. I would highly recommend this tour. 10/10

  Excellent complete island tour and snorkling in the most beautiful places! We wanted to see the island but in a different way than by car. It’s a matter of having a good idea of the state of the beaches and the atmosphere of each one! This one-day tour allowed us to see all this in one day! It was perfect with Jade and Elie who took care of us and made us laugh!

  My husband and I fully enjoyed our ride with Captains Damian and Junior, they were extremely helpful and told some good stories. Drinks were cold and plenty to go around. The snorkeling- amazing. I’ve never been snorkeling and I saw everything from colorful tropical fish to sea turtles!!! Lunch was amazing, all the stops were amazing, make sure you go with Damian and Junior to have the best time. Money well spent.

• Great Experience to see St. Martin from the Water!

  We had an amazing time on this tour with Sammy and Johan. We wanted to see the whole island without having to rent a car and this definitely worked. We snorkeled in two different locations then lunch was an amazing experience which I would have chosen myself. We highly recommend this for all ages!
