5.00Absolutely amazing day! We had a group of 6 of us and from the moment we got on the boat to the moment we got off everyone was smiling! Peter and Rakea were so friendly and accommodating for anything we wanted. The food was phenomenal and drinks were plentiful and delicious! If you want an unforgettable experience pick Captain Peter and Rakea! Thank you for an unforgettable day at sea!

5.00Had a fantastic day on the water with captain Peter. We stopped at a few great beaches to swim, and Davika took fantastic care of us all day long. The morning snacks and grilled lunch really hit the spot. Definitely recommend a day on the water with them.
Best Private catamaran on the island!

5.00Pavel was very professional and made our charter a memorable experience. His knowledge of the seas is top notch and he created a comfortable environment for me and my fiancé. My fiancé wouldn't be my fiancé if he didn't help me facilitate it. On top of all the great experiences, he was kind enough to get us to our ferry back to Anguilla in his dingy which saved us so much time. He ended up running out of gas after dropping us off. Had to tip this Captain big. Thank you Pavel. You're invited to the wedding Brother!
Fantastic Day!

5.00Pavel (captain) and Aga were our crew for the day and made our experience truly memorable! We had an amazing day - lots of swimming, snorkeling and relaxing - at a variety of locations. It was easy to find and Pavel and Aga were incredible. I would highly recommend this company and will book with them again next time we are in St. Maarten!
Best, day, EVER!

5.00From the pickup, to the drop off, we couldn't have asked for a better charter. Capt Pavel and Dianne were great! Snacks were ready once we arrived on the boat, fresh fruit, coffee and fresh French bread with butter and jam. They had snacks throughout the day including some amazing marinated boneless pork and chicken, with salad, including homemade dressing and garlic bread. Pavel took us close to the beaches with stunning turquoise waters, and dropped anchor so everyone could swim for 30+ minutes at each three stops. They were both very personable, attentive, and informative. From the early 20's girls, to my wife and I, we all said it was the best day ever. Book the Hakuna Matata, you won't be disappointed.
A great day on the water in St Maarten

5.00Our total party of 8 adults enjoyed a private charter on the Hakuna Matata. Robert was a first-class captain. He was very engaging and informative as well as friendly. Diana was excellent and provided delicious, homemade food on our charter including fresh plantain chips, guacamole and salsa. For the main course, Robert and Diana prepared a great meal for us. Robert also timed up an opportunity to see a large aircraft landing at Maho Beach and positioned us right under the flight path for a great experience. This was a great day for all of us.
Great experience!!
