This was by far one of the best tours we’ve done in St. Maarten! It was my husband, our 10-year-old daughter, and me, and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. Our guide, Peter, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour both fun and informative. The owner and operator, Jean Paul, personally greeted us and got everything started right away, which made us feel very welcomed. We booked the 2-hour speedboat tour for $200, and it was worth every penny. I’m not a huge fan of jet skis, so this was the perfect way to get out on the water, see the island from a different perspective, and enjoy an exciting adventure without being on a jet ski. You are able to swim at one point and it is the prettiest beach I have ever been to. If you’re looking for a unique, family-friendly excursion in St. Maarten, I highly recommend Yo Ho Pirate Speedboat Tours!
Excellent!

We had such a great experience! No wait, when we got there, the tour guide was ready to go. The excursion itself was fun! Beautiful day out and the private beach where we got to swim was beautiful!

Although I can swim, I came with a slight ocean phobia with all intent to cure. Peter was an absolutely amazing guide. Phobia cured. This is a must-do on the island!!!
