Fantastic Day Trip

5.00This was our third trip with Powerboat Adventures in Saint Maartens. We were on a cruise and his business was easy walking from the port. Because we were there before we had some suggestions as to what we wanted to do plus requests for something different. The day was marvelous, the boat was lovely and whole experience was well suited to the 3 generations onboard. There were 2 teenagers, their parents and us, the grandparents. Three trips and zero complaints, very professional company and mindful of getting you back to port in time for departure. 5 stars!!
The best custom boating experience!

5.00Ask Sam about lunch at Pinel Island if you have the time! Amazing French restaurant and pick your live 🦞! Also, the beautiful island to see Sea Turtles and Iguanas!
Perfect private boat excursion

5.00We had a fantastic morning with Captain Sam. He took us to three beautiful beaches with great snorkeling and swimming. He was thoughtful and knowledgeable and the boat was perfectly equipped. We were a family of 10 ranging in ages from 12 to 74 and he picked us up outside our cruise ship harbor and dropped us off closer to Marigot — recommending an incredible lunch spot (Be Kool). Highly recommended for a great day exploring St Maarten!
Family Fun in St. Maarten

Great Excursion

5.00Captain Sam was very responsive to messages regarding our booking. There were 4 of us and we had a 3.5 hour tour. We had great weather and snorkeling options. Alcohol could use upgrades for those not swimming/snorkeling as wine and rum punch was not the best. Also, if doing short excursion then suggest eating before you go or bringing snacks. Overall great experience.
Fun tour of island and chance to snorkel several great spots

5.00Chartered boat for 1/2 day to allow wife and I to see sights absent random other people, though the boat was big enough to accommodate larger groups, and so for us the cost was acceptable. Boat was in good condition with shaded seating area available. Captain Sam was very knowledgeable sharing info about island and pointing out sights without being a boring lecture our having to work at extracting information. Boat was operated in safe manner. He was also accommodating to requests on where stop locations and durations. Thoroughly enjoyed our time.
The highlight of our first visit to Sint Maartin

5.00First time to Saint Martin. This was the perfect boat tour/experience for our family and exceeded all expectations. We had a few requests. Sam had recommendations and surprises. Was completely flexible, attentive and gave us plenty of private time on and off the boat for swimming, snorkeling, exploring. Awesome lunch stop at floating restaurant, things we never would have found on our own. Boat is very stable, well powered, fully equipped for fun and comfortable. Highly recommend.
Amazing day on the water

5.00My husband and I booked this charter last minute. It was absolutely the best day on the island. Our Captain Sam was knowledgeable, kind and super accommodating. We told him we wanted to snorkel and have a nice lunch somewhere. He took us to Creole Rock for snorkeling with tons of vibrant fish, Tintamare, where we swam with sea turtles. Then over to Pinella Island for a fabulous lunch. It was everything we hoped for and more. Dont hesitate to book this! You won't be disappointed.
Family fun!

5.00We had an amazing day with Sam! We came with our 5 children ages 20-7. Sam had everything on board we would ever need, even a youth life jacket since the night before our personal life jacket flew off the patio over night 🤦🏻♀️😜 The highlight was seeing a stingray at Creole Rock and snorkeling and relaxing at Long Bay. We would definitely recommend!

5.00We booked a half day excursion for our family of 9 and it was amazing. The owner/captain was very friendly and always asked to make sure we were all ok. The boat was big and fast which allowed us to get to the different snorkeling spots quickly. I'd highly recommend this tour.
