5.00Went as a family - with 3 teens. We had a wonderful time being out on the boat and spending time on the gorgeous beaches. We snorkeled. Captain Nicholas and Johann were excellent guides. We enjoyed the lunch - I wa relieved that we weren’t served lame sandwiches on the boat or beach and got to go to an authentic island cuisine spot for a delicious lunch.

5.00We had the best time with Captain Nick and Luca. They were able to get our group of 16 family members all together on 1 boat. They were friendly, attentive and very nice. Always keep us informed on what was next and if we wanted to do more things We opted for lunch and the ribs were delicious Drinks were flowing and we all had a great time. I would definitely recommend Billy Bones Charters to anyone.
Outstanding! Hit all of the top spots in one 6 hour trip!

5.00Absolutely fantastic and comprehensive trip around the island. Niko and Johan were superb. This voyage offers stops at all of the top snorkeling spots, an authentic St. Maarten bbq and boatload of history about St. Maarten. Highly recommended. As an aside, we were considering the smaller 2 person little boats that are also available on Trip Advisor. We saw them while we were out and were extremely happy we went with this outfit. This larger boat covers FAR more distance and handles the waves a lot better than those tiny dinghies :)
Wonderful experience!

3.00It was a fun crew with plenty of drinks. The disappointing points were the shortage of fins for snorkeling and the unexpected extra cash charge of $6 each at the boat for using a credit card through Viator. Several of the other customers expressed their disagreement with the charge. In my opinion this issue should have been between Viator and Captain Flint.
Awesome Tour!

5.00Sammy and Junior were the best! They gave us a very good tour of the best parts of St. Maarten, both the Dutch and the French sides. Creole Rock was great and teeming with some small and vibrant fish, and Tintamarre Island had a few sea turtles around the area. There was plenty of time to relax throughout the day - just be sure to bring sunscreen and apply often!

5.00St Maarten Grand Island Speedboat and Snorkelling tour with Lunch. is the tour we took arranged via 118 shore excursions. A really good day out, Speedboat with Sami and Irwin in charge and 14 guests. We stopped at some excellent snorkelling places, gear was provided and was clean and in good condition. Managed to see, photo and video Turtles plus too many species of fish to list here. Commentary and information was provided throughout by the two guys who did and excellent job looking after everyone and ensuring they had a great time. One stop was at Grand Case to have lunch, plenty of choice as long as you had rice and beans with it. Very popular place, the food was very tasty and people seemed to come from all over the island to queue to sit and eat. Plenty of refreshments available on the boat, another stop near Mahon Beach to watch planes swooping over your head as they came in to land. Back by 4.00pm with a feeling that you had a full day out.
Top notch

5.00We took this tour while visiting St Maarten on Harmony of the Seas. It was our favorite day of our cruise. The team was both professional and personable and really made us feel welcome. The scenery was beautiful and all our stops were great. The BBQ lunch is a MUST!! The food was unbelievable. We arrived back in plenty of time to get back on the ship. Thanks so much for a perfect excursion!!!
