- Cupecoy Bay - Hop aboard the Santino, a 39 foot custom built motorboat for a day exploring some of the most famous spots around the island!\n- Tintamarre Island - Usual stops include Long Bay, Creole Rock, Pinel and Tintemarre. This trip does include an open bar of beer, sodas, rum punch, fruit punch and bottled water. Snorkel gear and noddles are also included and the Santino boasts a small but practical marine toilet on board.\n\n- Pinel Island - Snacks or lunch aren’t included so it’s advised to bring extra cash if you are planning to have lunch at a restaurant. From April to October, the Santino can usually head the whole way around St Maarten, enjoying many stops along the way. When the Christmas winds pick up, it makes it difficult to pass over the north side due to big seas. The schedule would then be on the west side visiting Creole Rock and many of the beaches on the west coast.\n- Baie Rouge - The trip can be a bit wet at times so it’s advised to keep your valuables in a plastic ziplock bag.

The Santino all day motor boat in Sept 2025. - This trip on the Santino on 09/16/2025 was the best of the best. The Captain, who has worked with them for many years, over 10, and his mate, a young man, catered to us in every way. This is a full trip with food, magnificent lunch at Grand Case, drinks, multiple stops, and sites from turtles to multiple color fishes, and an incredible tour of the full island. ( I recall 5 or 4 stops), snorkeling, beautiful sites around the island. The captain and mate extremely informative. But this is a jam packed and most eventful trip. Hats off Aquamania to a wonderful captain and mate on the Santino. We will be back.

Wondeful Time; Great Snorkeling - My wife and I had a great time from start to finish. We had 12 passengers onboard, plus Captain Roy and his first mate. Vey kind and informative with little tidbits and factoids over the course of the day. First stop was a brief swim in a beautiful French side of the island. Then passed an estate owned by President Donald J. Trump and one by Ricky Martin. The second stop was for snorkeling: beautiful location and lots of fish. Then lunch, which was good, at a local restaurant. Next up, snorkeling with sea turtles near an uninhabited island.
The fourth stop was a stay-onboard because of some aquatic issues, but not the crew’s fault. then a fun, high speed and full of ocean spray (not the juice) trip back to complete the round trip.
definitely worth a day of your time.

Beautiful and Fun - Our Santino snorkel adventure was so much fun and absolutely breathtaking. Captain Roy and Jayden treated us like royalty and brought us to some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen (and that was just above the surface!). We saw so much amazing sea life and were even lucky enough to see a bunch of turtles! An 11/10 way to spend a day!

Best Boat Day Ever. - We did not fully know what to expect on this boat tour. Captain Roy & 1st mate Jaden made everyone comfortable, safety briefing then a quick run down of the day. We had a short ride to a protected bay outside the most expensive resort on the island. We had a chance to swim for 20 minutes or so. Then they passed around French bread & Gouda cheese cubes as a snack, plenty to drink from water to beer, coke products, & rum punch. Next stop was the first snorkeling stops French protected Marine sanctuary , lots of reef & fish everywhere. Then we rode over to Lolos for lunch. When we checked in they asked chicken, ribs or fish. Knowing what I know now I would have gotten ribs. However the smoked chicken was great, service was great & we had about an hour for lunch. We were there maybe 45 minutes or so, then off to Tintamarre island to snorkel & we had 5-6 seas turtles just grazing in the sea grass, this was a cool experience. We swam up to the beach & enjoyed exploring. Back on the boat for a short ride to Pinel Island for daiquiris at the beach side bar. We spent about an hour there. Once we got back on the boat plastic bags were passed around for your stuff if you didn’t have a dry bag. We sat on the bow of the boat & rode into the waves of the Atlantic & all get pretty soaked. We all said after of all the boat excursions this was by far our favorite by a long shot. I can not recommend this trip any more highly is you want to see the whole island by boat.

Snorkeling around St Marten - Roy and Albert were amazing hosts!! We had the best time snorkeling around the island. The stop at the rob shack for lunch was a perfect break before we finished the tour, I highly recommend this for families.
