5.00The excursion was amazing. We had just the right amount of time at each location. Saw turtles and beautiful fish. The lunch at Lola’s was delicious
One of the best boat trips we’ve been on!

5.00Full day of activities - 4 stops plus a delicious lunch! Our boat captain took us on a round trip circumnavigating the whole island. Snorkelling with Green Sea Turtles, stop at Pinel Island to feed the iguanas, beautiful individual beach shops there too! Quick additional swim stop then Maho beach to see the planes land and take off up close at Princess Juliana airport. Such friendly staff plus free drinks supplied all day. N.B. You need to be able to get on and off the back of a boat from chest high water and there is no toilet on board but plenty of stops to use facilities. Highly recommended trip! 😁

5.00Amazing experience. Our captain at Rum Rush was the best!!!! We were a family of 7 with 2 small children and we had a great time. The group was small which made the experience even more enjoyable. We hopped to every corner of the island and enjoyed great drinks and food. Highly recommend!!
Fun adventure!

5.00Ensure your tour operator knows what boat you are on as ship time and local time were different for us - our cruise gangway down was 8:30am which was 9:30 local time and same time of our departure. They confirmed they would wait. You need to walk all the way out of port to where you hit public road and take a left, about 500m walk from there. Altogether about a 12-15min walk, or take a taxi which you will likely wait for the same amount of time. Captain and crew were courteous and fun. Different groups on board. 5 person family (16,12,10yr old), our family (20,16yr old), and another couple. Great interactions with staff. Plenty of room as advertised (eg small group excursion). Boat was very large (30ft) with a lot shade. No toilet. Lots of beverages included (pop, beer, local rum punch. Can’t beat the tour, it’s like 3 in one. 1) fast fun speedboat tour of island 2) snorkeling 2 spots 3) walk on to shore for lunch - carribean spiced chicken, steak, or fish - my chicken was amazing but wished I got the fish after seeing it - you choose your option when checking in. 4)left lunch and perfect timing to see a 767 land over top of us Arrived right on time at harbor, thus 1 hour till gangway up. A great family highlight!
Sea Turtles, Fish, and Beaches… what could be better? 10/10 experience!

5.00We had the best time! We saw lots of colorful fish at Creole Rock, swam with sea turtles at Tintamarre Island, enjoyed a delicious lunch and unlimited drinks, swam at the most beautiful beaches, and saw planes fly right over the boat! This tour is highly recommended!
Highly recommend!

5.00The crew and boat were great! Small party size made the multiple stops we made be quick on and off with little to no waiting. Price was very reasonable for the amount of time, distance, stops and food. Ever felt hurried. Highly recommend!
Best speedboat excursion ever!

5.00We had an excursion booked with Captain Bob that was cancelled last minute due to “health reasons” so imagine our surprise when we saw Captain Bob taking people out when we arrived at the dock. We booked last minute with Captain Flint at Bobby’s marina and are grateful we did! We had the best time!! We went all the way around the islands and were the only speedboat to do so. We had an awesome time snorkeling, swimming and saw the planes overhead at Maho beach. Our boat crew guys were very knowledgeable, took amazing care of us, and got us back to the dock in plenty of time to get back on our cruise ship.
Must-do non-ship excursion with teens!

5.00Great non-ship affiliated experience; do not sleep on this tour! Family with teens and everyone had a great time! Captain Nicolas (Nico) and his mate Lucas were so hospitable, informative, and a pleasure to guide us on our tour, even on a windy day. They got us back with plenty of time to get to the ship. It was the highlight of our Eastern Caribbean itinerary!
