Book this catamaran if you’re in St Maarten! We had the best time visiting Angullia through this excursion! Great staff, food, and plenty of drinks!

This isn't the first time that my family and I book this experience with Aqua Mania Adventures. We love their energy and how much fun we had with the crew. The drinks are unlimited, the snacks and food were delicious. I highly recommend this experience if it is your first time going to Anguilla. The island is breathtaking. We got to see Manta's, colorful fish and even turtles. Thanks Crew for all the memories you gave us. See you next year!

3 stars because we missed it. We didn’t realize how long it would take to park and ended up missing the boat. They should really consider including parking instructions since there’s no where else to park near by. We ended up losing 50% ($130) worth of our trip and decided to rebook on the shorter 3 hr trip.
10/10 Trip!

I would 100% recommend this catamaran trip (but only if you don’t get seasick)! The crew was great, very attentive & interactive with the guests. We made 2 stops (one to Prickly Pear & another to Anguilla, the mainland)….both beautiful.
A must do experience!
