Come experience firsthand what has made this St. Maarten's #1 ranked excursion on TripAdvisor for the last 10 years running and the absolute best way to avoid the cruise ship crowds and visit both the Dutch and French sides of the island in a family friendly, small group setting. From the moment you hop aboard our deluxe speed boat and venture out to sea you'll realize that your vacation has only just begun. Highlights of the 5 stop, 6 hour tour include unforgettable snorkeling with sea turtles, sting rays and tropical fish on uninhabited islands, sunbathing on some of the finest white sand beaches the Caribbean has to offer and feeling the rush of commercial jets landing directly over your head at the famous airport. All the while your captain and guide will make sure that you are not only educated and entertained but also well-tended to with food and drinks on the boat, all included in the price. So what are you waiting for? Let's get out on the water!

What To Expect

1

Simpson Bay

Captain Bob's most popular speed boat, snorkeling and beach tour is a full day, 5 stop adventure of a lifetime that is uniquely designed to show you the very best of both the French and Dutch sides of Sint Maarten/St. Martin. Departing from Philipsburg, you'll first head past the islands of Saba, Statia and St. Barts before passing under the bridge into Simpson Bay Lagoon, the biggest lagoon in the Caribbean. While sightseeing in the lagoon you will be taken aback by the size of the million dollar "mega yachts" of the rich and famous that frequent the island in the wintertime. After officially crossing onto the French side of the island you will make your way around Marigot, Happy Bay, Friar's Bay and finally Grand Case.

Admission Not Applicable

Tintamarre Island

Your first stop is the island of Tintamarre, an uninhabited island within the French Nature Reserve that is only accessible by boat and where large groups are forbidden, a great way to escape the cruise ship crowds. Here your knowledgable captain will give you a brief tutorial, provide you with snorkel gear and flotation devices and send you off to snorkel with the protected sea turtles and stingrays that reside there.

    Great excursion. Good tour around the island and good snorkeling. Captain Tony was awesome. Check in is usually 930am but you dont depart until 10am. Cold sodas and beer available on the boat along with chips and sandwiches for lunch and apples. Rum punch to follow. Water available as well. Usually no more than 10 participants. Great tour. Will be back.

    Dylan and Brett are amazing. They are personable, funny and run a perfect experience. This was our second time out with them, and it’s just perfect. Two snorkel spots, lunch and drinks, anchor by the planes, pinel island, and so much more. Best way to see the island. Highlight of our trip both times. Thank you as always Brett and Dylan!!

  • Fantastic excursion!

    This was the absolute best time we could have had on an excursion for the day. The captain and assistant were two terrific guys with a lot of knowledge of the island and a very chill vibe. I would 100% recommend this to a friend and will likely do it again the next time we return to the island.

  • Fun in the sun!

    Great captain and crew made for a great trip, despite the heavy surf. We saw a lot of the island with lots of history and local information. We had a wonderful time. My only criticism for improvement is their sandwiches could have been a little bit higher quality.

  • Best day ever

  • Perfect excursion!

    It was a short walk from the ship and we were out with 16 people from 9:30 to 3:00. Made it back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. Two sessions of snorkeling and some beach time or just stay on the boat and lunch was provided. Plenty of sightseeing on the boat. Two man crew were professional and experienced and the boat was comfortable and perfect for the day. Highly recommend!
