  • Delightful Excursion with Tour around entire island

    Our family had a wonderful time traveling around St. Maarten with Captain Roy and Jaden. The ride was smooth, views beautiful, snorkeling top notch, and hospitality superb. Jaden made sure to make every guest comfortable, both in serving snacks and refilling drinks, but also in offering my kids a book so they could read about what they had just seen underwater. We have done other boat tours in other locations, and this one was by far the best. In addition, swimming with sea turtles was the most peaceful thing I have ever experienced. People on our boat were repeat customers every year for 20 years, a beautiful testament to the incredible staff and trip. I cannot recommend highly enough.

  • A great day around the island with Captain Roy on the Santino!

    Captain 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!

  • The Santino all day motor boat in Sept 2025.

    This 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

    My 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.

    Our 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 :)
