Effortless SXM Boat Day with Captain Albin — Smooth, Fun, and 10/10 Reliable
mhs5488,Apr 26, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00We had an amazing half-day boat charter around SXM with Captain Albin on Suneeta! From start to finish, everything was smooth, safe, and super reliable. Albin is incredibly easy to hang out with—felt like spending the day with an old friend. He gave us great recommendations for spots to visit and even helped us arrange a trustworthy cab driver afterward, which made the whole experience stress-free. If you’re looking for a relaxed, fun, and well-organized day on the water, this is it. 10/10, highly recommend!
Great ride to beach, plane spotting and a few beers floating in the surf.

5.00Our captain Albin was a great host, taking care of our needs flawlessly. We started a little rocky to due to some rain but we headed out anyway and enjoyed plenty of time at the beach and in the water with some Maho plane spotting time on the way back to the ship.
The Absolute Highlight Of Our Trip To St. Maarten!!!

5.00We had a great day on the Suneeta with Albin!! He was an amazing boat captain, and took us to so many beautiful beaches on the island. It was a bit windy and Albin handled everything great, we all felt safe and comfortable. We were provided with snacks, drinks, a paddle board and snorkeling gear. We went to lunch at the floating bar which was really cool and the food was delicious. The boat was very clean and comfortable for our group of 9. I highly recommend Albin, he was super knowledgeable about the island and has a great personality too! Thanks for providing my family with core memories Albin!!
Great day at sea

5.00Albin took great care of our group of 8. (4 adults and 4 teens). Showed us the island with several stops. Took us to a great restaurant for lunch right on the beach. He was able to modify his timeline to get us back a little sooner so we could make our cruise boat depart time. He also picked us up right at the cruise boat.
Great time touring St Martin and St Maarten

Best excursion for cruise folks

5.00We had so much fun! Royal Caribbean canceled our excursions, so we booked this one instead, and it was awesome. We stopped at a couple of beaches and ate at a restaurant where the guide made reservations for us. Thank you for bringing us back on time to board our cruise ship. The meetup spot is about a five-minute walk once you exit the port.
Awesome sunset cruise
