- Little Bay - Guests will be picked up at Bobby’s Marina, at the wooden gazebo in front of Aziana’s restaurant. Following a brief safety briefing, the journey will begin along the stunning shoreline of Sint Maarten. Guests can settle in and find their own private spot on board. The first destination is Little Bay, a charming beach sheltered by the Fort Amsterdam outcrop at the edge of Philipsburg. Here, guests can enjoy a one-hour guided snorkeling tour, featuring abundant sea life, a sunken helicopter, and a submarine.
This location is ideal for exploring the vibrant underwater world. Little Bay is one of the few beach snorkeling spots, with typically calm waters due to its ‘cove-like’ nature and the presence of solid rocky beach breaks. This makes it perfect for children and beginners, and guests can also make use of a variety of water equipment, ensuring there’s plenty to do for everyone.
- Maho Beach - The tour will continue with a leisurely sail past Maho Beach, situated across from the Princess Juliana International Airport runway, where guests can watch planes take off and land, depending on the flight schedule. Although stopping is not possible, the aim is to catch a plane flying above the mast. This offers a breathtaking view to enjoy while sipping a cold beverage or socializing at the inside bar. Guests can indulge in drinks (cocktails, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages) and let the hostesses pamper them. After the plane-watching experience, the journey will proceed to the next stop, Mullet Bay.
- Mullet Bay - The final stop before returning to the dock will be Mullet or Simpson Bay. Here, the anchor will be dropped, allowing guests to enjoy the stunning Caribbean Sea. They can swim, float on a noodle, relax on the 18ft floating mat, or take a ride on a kayak or stand-up paddleboard. Drinks (cocktails, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages) and food will be available on the spacious aft deck or flybridge, or guests can simply relax and enjoy the view from the sundeck lounge. The forward trampoline area is also open for lounging and sunbathing. The tour will depart early enough to ensure cruise ship guests return to the starting point on time.

Perfect Relaxing Day - Took a little to get going but the experiences was amazing! The drink options were great with lots of cocktails and good snacks. Lunch was a great chicken dish and relaxing on the ocean was so nice! We were able to see a plane fly over Maho beach which was also great. The snorkeling was cool for the wreck but it was a bit of a swim and I think our group wanted a few more fish. The service was impeccable and the size of the ship/person that was there was comfortable. If you’re looking for a relaxing day around the island, swimming in the water and drinking rum punch this is your vibe! Relaxing day with a little fun :). I think I would have liked maybe a little more history or information on the island but they didn’t promise that so I wasn’t expecting it. Great job team!

Perfect Day. - We had a great time on this excursion. The seas were a little rough that day, but the crew did everything they could and bent over backwards to make sure we had a great time. The open bar was flowing with just about any mixed drink you could want and plenty of local beer. The onboard chef cooked a perfect lunch and the scenery sailing down the coast was amazing. Just about every Caribbean vacation we take we find time for a catamaran tour. This tour was a great time and I will certainly be back next time we are on the island.

One of the best... - One of the best Experiences I had while on vacation! The whole crew was awesome! We started off with the first stop being snorkeling and it was soo cool to swim with the fish and see the sunken submarine, cannon and helicopter. Being this was my first time snorkeling, they were very patient and made sure everyone was safe and had fun! You cannot beat a day of sailing around this beautiful island on a boat with unlimited drinks and food including a chef cooked lunch which was delicious! The boat was a good size so not at any time did we feel like we were on top of everyone. Seeing the island from the sea is a different experience and will def do this again on my next trip!

All day trip - The experience itself was pretty darn good. It would’ve been nice to have a fewer passengers due to the fact that the boats didn’t really have specific places for everybody to sit.
The snorkeling was good, even though not all of us participated and the swim/lunch was a really great part of the trip.
Everyone that worked on the boat was excellent. They were helpful, accommodating, and always making sure their guest were having fun and had what they needed.
The boat is exceptionally nice and well kept. It was very easy to get in and out of both on and off boarding as well as swimming.
Overall, it was a great afternoon. Really, the only not so great thing was it just felt crowded.

Just okay... - Crew was fantastic. Food and drinks were excellent. If you looking for a kid free relaxing vibes this is not it. Stopped at 2 spots 1 to snorkel, second was to pull out the pad, and stand up boards.
