One word.. wow!!!

5.00One word.. wow!!! This was the highlight to end an amazing trip to Saint Martin! Service was impeccable, food was amazing, entire experience was one for the books! Due to restrictions, we couldn't go to St Barts, instead Robert took us to Pinel island and Tintamarre. Definitely a great alternative and wouldn't change a thing! Between the island visits got to sail for a bit with the sails up! I wanted to know how to sail, so he taught me the mechanics of sailing and let me help. Will definitely book this again everytime I got back to St. Martin. Was an excursion I will never forget!

5.00What a fantastic trip. Beautiful catamaran style boat. The crew were very friendly and helpful and made a special effort. All the passengers were allowed to steer the boat and we're given good steering / sailing lesson before they returned to Port. There were soft drinks and alcoholic drinks available / included. The 7h Minute trip for a family of four was great value at $140 USD. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone. The guys who run this are so nice, friendly and fun, loved it so much we went 2 times. Will definitely go back next year.
Day trip to Isle Fourche

5.00Our group has booked multiple excellent day trips with Robert. This particular excursion was to Isle Fourche for swimming, snorkeling, paddle boarding and hiking. As always, the experience was memorable: excellent food and service in a stunning environment. Can't say enough good things about the level of professionalism and hospitality Robert provides; it's always impressive. Expect to see a nice variety of colorful reef fish,eels and sea turtles while swimming here. The beaches are clean and unspoiled; the water is a crystal clear turquoise blue. We will definitely book with Robert for future outings; highly recommend.
It’s awesome to see the island from another view...

5.00This is our second trip on the Ocean Tales Adventures. It’s awesome to see the island from another view and have a much more intimate adventure with fewer people fighting for places to sit. Definitely this trip was our greatest experience on the water! Crystal clear water and white sands that make you feel like you stepped inside a postcard (other than volcanic black send on Île Fourchue St.Bart Beach). Robert answered all of his questions by letting him help with the mast and ropes, which made our day! Awesome hosts, beer, rum punch and other drinks. Worth the money! Definitely recommended!
... it is the best!

5.00We have been vacationing on St. Martin Island for 12 years and have done a catamaran cruise every year. This was our first time with OTA (Ocean Tales Adventures) and it is the best. Our family preferred to sail and see as much of the island as we could so Robert set the sails and off we went, a true sailing experience all day which in itself is truly an art (experience)! They were so knowledgeable about the island, and we learned so much about it throughout the trip. They pointed out all the key beaches, restaurants and resorts along the way, even took us to see top of volcanic island (Île Fourchue, St Barthélemy)! Our family spent the majority of the time up on the sundeck on the front of the boat and tanned on the netting which was really cool. The kids even took turns in the drivers seat! Anna and Robert are gracious and engaging hosts. The food and wine and drinks ample and delicious. I'm not the best at snorkeling, but the Captain Robert was patient and helped me find my way when I became disoriented. If you have any fear of snorkeling or swimming, Robert is right there to calm all your unease. With a small group it is easy to meet and interact and make new friends with your fellow guests. All said, it was a truly perfect day! We are looking forward to our next adventure with OTA.
Everything about this trip experience exceeded our expectations

5.00We spent the day aboard catamaran Hakuna Matata with her skilled crew: Captain Rob and First Mate Anna. Of course, the setting in St. Martin Island could not be more beautiful, but to see it from aboard this vessel, was a unusual quality experience. From the moment we boarded, it was evident that Captain and Host had anticipated everything we could possibly need or want - and then some. We sailed along the coast, snorkeled on a reef off a beach only accessible via boat, amazing. Once we dropped anchor, rather moored in a little bay of the Faurchue Island (France) we were able to take a swim, everything you could possibly want was available, floating noodles, paddle boards, snorkels and a fantastic crew. Then came the lunch; well we had the chicken meal which has been just divine, but I must say I did have to try the home made burger as it smelled delicious while cooking, my nose was correct, yummy. Drinks and food were available all day and nothing was too much for Anna. After lunch we then set sail to Gustavia, St. Bart's, stopping at a nearby beach for another swim. The day just flowed. If you plan to visit St. Martin or are here now, don't delay to confirm your charter. Like us, I'm confident you will be very glad you did. Reserve 9 hours for this trip!
highlight of the trip!

5.00We were greeted by Ana and the Captain at the Marina. We were a group of 5 girls on a Bachelorette trip and were lucky to have the boat to ourself since there were no other groups scheduled that day. As soon as we got on the boat, we were served delish snacks (sandwiches, nachos & chips) along with beverages (beer and soda). Two of us got seasick on our way to Fourche Island but the staff made us homemade tea which helped us to feel a lot better. When we arrived on the Island, we did a small hike for a breathtaking view of St. Martin and other island around it. Be sure to bring sneakers/hiking sandals if you want to do this. Then we headed to --- beach in St. Barts where we snorkeled and did paddleboarding for 2-3 hours. Few of us swam out to the shore and explored around for some incredible view. On our way back to St. Maarten, we were served dinner - rice with veggies, salad and bbq and it was delicious. We also caught the sunset on the front of the boat which was another highlight of this tour! I highly recommend this tour and would do it again next time I'm back in St. Maarten. Thank you for the wonderful experience. :)
