• Simpson Bay - Captain Bob’s renowned speed boat, snorkeling, and beach tour offers a full-day, five-stop adventure that promises an unforgettable experience, showcasing the finest of both the French and Dutch sides of Sint Maarten/St. Martin.

Starting from Philipsburg, the journey begins by passing the islands of Saba, Statia, and St. Barts before navigating under the bridge into Simpson Bay Lagoon, the largest lagoon in the Caribbean. While exploring the lagoon, you’ll be amazed by the impressive “mega yachts” of the wealthy and famous who visit the island during winter. After officially entering the French side of the island, the tour continues around Marigot, Happy Bay, Friar’s Bay, and finally Grand Case.

• Tintamarre Island - The first stop is Tintamarre Island, an uninhabited island within the French Nature Reserve, accessible only by boat and free from large crowds, offering a perfect escape from cruise ship tourists. Here, the knowledgeable captain will provide a brief tutorial, along with snorkel gear and flotation devices, allowing you to snorkel with the protected sea turtles and stingrays that inhabit the area.
• Pinel Island - Next, the tour heads to Pinel Island, a stunning location with calm, waist-deep waters and swaying palm trees. It’s the ideal place to relax with a drink in hand and feet in the soft sand. A delicious lunch is included in the price and served at Pinel. Before departing, don’t forget to visit the boutique for souvenirs or gifts and greet the friendly local iguanas!
• Creole Rock - The journey continues to Creole Rock for another snorkeling stop, this time at a vibrant coral reef teeming with some of the most colorful fish and marine life in the Caribbean. Once everyone is safely back on board, the tour proceeds around the Northern side of the island, passing Baie Rouge, Plum Bay, and the rest of Terres Basses, the island’s most exclusive area.
• Mullet Bay - Enjoy a final swim in paradise at either Long Bay or Mullet Bay, both recognized as some of the world’s top beaches. This is your last opportunity to grab “a noodle and a beer” and float in the stunning turquoise waters while enjoying your favorite tunes. Complimentary drinks are available all day!
• Princess Juliana International Airport - Finally, make a stop at the famous Princess Juliana International Airport to experience the excitement of commercial jets taking off and landing directly overhead. Although you’ll be sad to see the day end as you’re dropped off at the dock, a complimentary ice cream for your walk back to your cruise ship or hotel will surely bring a smile to your face.
