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.

5.00My boyfriend and I booked Boomerang’s “Best of St. Martin / St. Maarten: Swim with Turtles” excursion, and it was hands down the highlight of our entire vacation. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The crew was truly phenomenal, so friendly, fun, and attentive. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having an amazing time, and you could tell they genuinely love what they do. The energy on the boat was incredible without ever feeling overwhelming, just the perfect mix of relaxing and fun. The day itself felt like a dream. Everything was so well organized, and the boat was spacious and comfortable, which made the whole experience even better. On top of that, the food and drinks were amazing, fresh, delicious, and constantly flowing. It really felt like such a great value for everything that was included. We made so many great memories and honestly didn’t want the day to end. If you’re even considering booking this excursion, do it. You will not regret it. We would go back and do this again in a heartbeat!
Fast Cat Fun!

An Unforgettable Snorkeling Experience for the Whole Family

5.00Our family had an incredible snorkeling trip with Captain Toby and his amazing team, Marit, Deanna, and Alyssa. From start to finish, everything was smooth, well organized, and so much fun. We went with our two kids, ages 13 and 5, one a strong snorkeler and the other a beginner, and both had the best time. There were great activities for both of them, with options that kept our older child engaged and gave our younger one a fun and comfortable introduction to snorkeling. Captain Toby is professional, confident and experienced, and also keeps the atmosphere fun and relaxed. We always felt safe and well taken care of while still laughing and enjoying every moment. The entire team was friendly, attentive, and brought such a positive energy to the trip. The drinks were fantastic and lunch was fresh and delicious, with grilled shrimp, chicken, pasta salad, and baguette. Toby and Marit were also very knowledgeable about the island, and every snorkeling spot Toby chose was beautiful and memorable. This trip truly offers something for everyone, no matter your skill level. We highly recommend it!
What a Fantastic Day.

5.00This was a fantastic day. Toby, Alyssa, Marit and Deanna really took care of everyone. The food was fantastic the views and snorkeling were terrific. One beach was closed due to sargassum but they knew another fabulous beach as an alternate. Cocktails were delicious. I can’t recommend this tour enough. 10 out of 10, would do again.
What a Trip!!

5.00I cannot recommend this tour enough. Everything was incredible. Tobey, Leo and Deanna were a top notch crew and delivered an amazing day. We were able to swim with sea turtles at Tintamarre, snorkel at Creole Rock and all other locations, explore Pinel Island (even saw iguanas and fed a turtle) and relax. We also saw some tropical fish, a stingray and some barracudas. It was like the entire boat already knew each other, the vibe was perfect. Good variety of music and delicious lunch (curry chicken, shrimp skewers, fresh grilled garlic bread and Greek pasta salad) cooked on board. Drinks were also perfect…recommend the Peg Leg and Poisedon’s Punch (I’m not a vodka person so I switched the vodka to rum in my drinks). We ended the day at Mullet Beach and our crew got a chance to relax and take a dip to cool off. Plenty of shade when needed, lots of options for switching up your seating and moving around. Bathroom was roomy and clean. One of my favorite days 🌊🐢☀️
Perfect day on the water!!
