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.

    STAFF/EQUIPT: The boat was clean and comfortable. On our excursion there were 16 total people (6 of which were kids). Just note- you might not get the boat in the pictures. Lunch, water, drinks, soda were provided. Snorkel gear was clean and even provided anti-fog for mask. STAFF: Staff was amazing! Friendly, informative, helpful and funny. Even when we couldn't go to one of the stops because of sargassum, they did their best to still make the excursion great! Only thing I could have done without was all the stopping to talk about houses of rich/famous people. Some people might be really into that, but without it we could have stayed at the beaches longer and I would have loved that better. TRAVEL: It is an easy 10 min walk from the cruise port to the marina where the excursion takes place. STOPS: The stops are amazing and breathtaking. We saw many beautiful fish at Creole Rock and we saw many sea turtles at Tint. Island. I could have stayed all day at Tint Island OMG!!!! Also, the last beach we stayed at was so relaxing and beautiful! Perfect afternoon! OVERALL: I give this excursion a 9/10 because I could have done without all the stops to talk about famous houses and spent more time snorkeling but other than that I would do it again!
