5.00Captain Roy and Jaden were awesome. We loved this speedboat tour as we were able to visit more spots than if we were on a catamaran. Great hospitality and music, snacks and drinks. Snorkelling was fun and we saw sea turtles, coral and tropical fishes. Especially liked Baie Longue as a stop. Thank you Roy!
Great Experience on Motorboat Cruise

5.00This trip on the Santino on 09/16/2025 was the best of the best. The Captain, who has worked with them for many years, over 10, and his mate, a young man, catered to us in every way. This is a full trip with food, magnificent lunch at Grand Case, drinks, multiple stops, and sites from turtles to multiple color fishes, and an incredible tour of the full island. ( I recall 5 or 4 stops), snorkeling, beautiful sites around the island. The captain and mate extremely informative. But this is a jam packed and most eventful trip. Hats off Aquamania to a wonderful captain and mate on the Santino. We will be back.
Wondeful Time; Great Snorkeling

5.00My wife and I had a great time from start to finish. We had 12 passengers onboard, plus Captain Roy and his first mate. Vey kind and informative with little tidbits and factoids over the course of the day. First stop was a brief swim in a beautiful French side of the island. Then passed an estate owned by President Donald J. Trump and one by Ricky Martin. The second stop was for snorkeling: beautiful location and lots of fish. Then lunch, which was good, at a local restaurant. Next up, snorkeling with sea turtles near an uninhabited island. The fourth stop was a stay-onboard because of some aquatic issues, but not the crew’s fault. then a fun, high speed and full of ocean spray (not the juice) trip back to complete the round trip. definitely worth a day of your time.
Beautiful and Fun

5.00Our Santino snorkel adventure was so much fun and absolutely breathtaking. Captain Roy and Jayden treated us like royalty and brought us to some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen (and that was just above the surface!). We saw so much amazing sea life and were even lucky enough to see a bunch of turtles! An 11/10 way to spend a day!
Book NOW! The snorkeling was fantastic!!!!! Teenagers will love this :)

5.00We did not fully know what to expect on this boat tour. Captain Roy & 1st mate Jaden made everyone comfortable, safety briefing then a quick run down of the day. We had a short ride to a protected bay outside the most expensive resort on the island. We had a chance to swim for 20 minutes or so. Then they passed around French bread & Gouda cheese cubes as a snack, plenty to drink from water to beer, coke products, & rum punch. Next stop was the first snorkeling stops French protected Marine sanctuary , lots of reef & fish everywhere. Then we rode over to Lolos for lunch. When we checked in they asked chicken, ribs or fish. Knowing what I know now I would have gotten ribs. However the smoked chicken was great, service was great & we had about an hour for lunch. We were there maybe 45 minutes or so, then off to Tintamarre island to snorkel & we had 5-6 seas turtles just grazing in the sea grass, this was a cool experience. We swam up to the beach & enjoyed exploring. Back on the boat for a short ride to Pinel Island for daiquiris at the beach side bar. We spent about an hour there. Once we got back on the boat plastic bags were passed around for your stuff if you didn’t have a dry bag. We sat on the bow of the boat & rode into the waves of the Atlantic & all get pretty soaked. We all said after of all the boat excursions this was by far our favorite by a long shot. I can not recommend this trip any more highly is you want to see the whole island by boat.
