Unforgettable Day on the Water with Mambo Number Five! - We had the most incredible experience sailing around St. Maarten with Mambo Number Five! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The day kicked off with snorkeling at Creole Rock, where the crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life made for a magical underwater adventure. We spotted so many beautiful tropical fish—it felt like swimming in an aquarium!
After working up an appetite, we enjoyed a delicious BBQ lunch at Lolo’s in Grand Case. The food was authentic, flavorful, and hit the spot—such a great local touch to the trip. Then we headed to the gorgeous Tintemarre Island, where we had the absolute joy of spotting sea turtles gliding gracefully through the water.
But the highlight of the day—hands down—was when a whole school of dolphins showed up and swam alongside the boat! They jumped, spun, and played right in front of us for 5 to 10 magical minutes. It was one of those rare, breathtaking moments that we’ll never forget.
The crew made the trip even more special. Swanee, Henry, and Albert were phenomenal—friendly, professional, and so much fun. Henry especially stood out—he made sure no one ever had an empty glass and kept the good vibes going all day. His energy was infectious!
This was more than just a boat tour—it was an unforgettable adventure filled with nature, great food, and wonderful people. Highly, highly recommend booking with Mambo Number Five if you’re in St. Maarten!

AMAZING CREW AND DAY TRIP! - HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The Crew, Swanee, Cisco and Bryan were amazing! So attentive and friendly, they went out of their way to point out areas of the island as we passed them. Really nice and have amazing balance :). They let us help raise the sails. Snorkeled with Sea Turtles! Two snorkel stops and lunch at Lolos was great! The catamaran was clean, they provided great continuous drinks and snacks. Music, food, drinks, snorkeling, who could ask for anything more. Thanks guys for making our trip great!

Catamaran Day Cruise- Amazing!!! - A group of five friends booked the Mambo tour with Swanee, Cisco and Bryan. The tour itself was absolutely amazing with great views, an enjoyable lunch at Lolo’s and snorkeling stops. The crew legit was over the top attentive to each and every one on the boat. I cannot recommend this tour and crew enough. Highly recommend and will come again on our next visit to the island. What a wonderful experience.

A Family Affair (aka Not Like Us) - Ny family chartered the Mambo for a day sail to Pinel Island for my mother’s 70th birthday. My mother has had a rough year medically but we always come down here during the first week in October . My mother is very weak and walking with a cane, but she was determined to get on that catamaran.
I was really moved by the level of service and care for the entire group of 18 of us but particularly for my mother. They carried her on and off the boat and they absolutely did not have to do that.
Oh behalf of the Pedro family, I want to thank Cathy at AquaMania for taking such good care of us and Ollie and his crew for an absolutely perfect day. Those memories we made as a family on that boat will carry us through rough patches and last a life time.
I cannot recommend highly enough. It was worth every penny.

7 Hour Catamaran Sail - Very large catamaran so plenty of room for to move around. Captain Suwanee and his 2 mates were outstanding. Disembarking for lunch was a real treat. Food was excellent and portions large. A very good value. Took us to 2 very good snorkeling location. All in all, a very enjoyable trip. You can tell their focus is 100% on customer service.

Day Tour around St Maarten - This was an amazing tour with even better views. Great value - full day and lunch/drinks included! The crew were awesome and attentive. Always making sure we had drinks. They were very friendly and knowledgeable about the island. We got to see Sea turtles and beautiful fish when snorkeling. We had a blast. It is a full day cruise so be prepared to be out in the sun all day. It was a rough ride back to the hotel but we did not mind.

Awesome Boat, Great trip around the island, Delicious Lunch at LoLo's! - This was a wonderful day long trip, completely sails around Sint Maarten Island. Also, enjoy the Best Lunch possible, at LoLo's in Grand Case! I also scuba dive with this same company, Aqua Mania, and have now for two years! This company is Top Notch, and Safety is always most important! They usually over deliver! You won't go wrong with this Trip! We saw several turtles, many fish and as much to drink as you could hope for! Beautiful water and awesome snorkeling included! Snacks included too!

Fabulous crews! - We did both the Underwater Museum snorkel trip and the around-the-island trip. The crew on both were fabulous! We were lucky enough to have Jayden on both trips - he's wonderful!
