5.00The owner, Jean-Paul and our guide, Peter, are very personable. Our guide, was knowledgeable of the area. The speedboats are well maintained and our guide gave good instructions of their operation. Next time in St. Maarten we would definitely take a spin with Yo Ho Pirates.

5.00My husband and I took a tour with Peter. It was a private tour since we were the only boat. The boat was easy to maneuver but the throttle was very sensitive causing the speed to fluctuate. My husband had never driven a boat before but by the end he was a pro. We toured the French side and swam in one of the inlets. The only thing that we would recommend is an easier way to get back in the boat, maybe a rope ladder.
Amazing experience

5.00This was such a cool experience! Traveling all around the island in fashion- a new state of the art Speedboat. Our guide was great showing us all the different attractions and taking our picture wherever we liked. He also stopped by the gas station for us and got some tea as we got thirsty on our trip. 10/10 would recommend- very friendly and knowledgeable staff!
