Captain Brett and first mate Dylan gave us an amazing tour of the island and brought us to some awesome snorkeling sites. It was an unforgettable day, and by far our favorite day of vacation. We will definitely book again with Captain Bob when we come back.

Our excursion was amazing! We travelled around the whole island, stopped at 3 beaches to swim (where we also had the opportunity to snorkel, masks and fins provided), a coral reef to snorkel, and watched a plane land over our heads near the airport. A variety of sandwiches on delicious baguettes, along with chips, apples, beer, rum, soda, and water were provided. The captain and first mate (Brett and Dylan) were fantastic! They stopped every 10 minutes or so on our boat ride to give us info on the surrounding islands. They were knowledgeable and very entertaining! We had a 7 year old with us, and the tour was very family friendly, but also had the opportunity to drink and have fun. We had amazing BBCs (frozen cocktails) at Pinel Island and the opportunity to get some souvenirs at a small hut on the beach. I travelled with my sister, brother, and her family, but plan to return with my husband, looking forward to doing this excursion again!

3rd time I have booked this tour. I would like to share some details for people who want more info. Great tour guide with fun facts about the island and yachts. Our journey starts through the harbor to Tintamarre island, Pinel Island and Creole, with a fun pit stop at the end. Snorkel stops with very nice equipment to borrow. Lunch is included on board with a variety of French Baguette sandwiches, chips, apples and unlimited drinks, incl. alcohol. The boat is a 35 ft, Scarab with plenty of seats. A bimini in back for some shade and a cubby hole for your bags. Wear sunscreen. Music, laughter and cheers! Enjoy.

We had an unforgettable day exploring St Maarten with Captain Bob's tour. Our guide, Pascal, was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about sharing the beauty of the island. From the stunning beaches to the vibrant local culture, Pascal made sure we experienced the best of St Maarten. His insights and stories added a special touch to the tour, making it both educational and fun. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to discover the hidden gems of St Maarten!
