An absolutely AMAZING day - If you are looking at this charter, I would say BOOK IT NOW! You will be glad you did. I looked at several but he is the BEST! Captain Mike and His first mate (and) wife Elmira were absolutely perfect. Mike and I connected and had some great conversation as well, truly a great guy and I hope we get a chance to do it again. First off, the sandwiches were the best I have ever had. My kids, who never eat subs or sandwiches loved them as well. The rum punch, the beers, the grilled lunch all amazing. But there is more, I cannot stress how much they pamper you while on board. If you go to get something or even move a muscle they are grabbing it for you and anticipating your every need. Again, outstanding boat, tour, hospitality, and experience.

Highlight of our trip - Mike and his wife, Elmira, are wonderful hosts. We had a party of 7; 4 teens and 3 adults. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the ride. Mike gave us a lot of information about the island throughout the ride that we hadn’t learned in all the years we have been visiting. We stopped at multiple spots to snorkel where we saw barracuda, tarpon, starfish, etc. Elmira was so attentive, nobody went without for even a second. I was sick the day of the trip. She went out of her way to get me a pillow and make sure I was comfortable. The freshly prepared food consisting of grilled marinated chicken, pasta salad and a crisp salad of veggies and fruits. Not to mention every beverage possible. We have done other private charters on the island but this one has a more personal feel. A great value for the price.

Great Family Day - Mike & Elmira took excellent care of our family of 16 ranging in age from 2 to 75 years old. They served us a delicious lunch and plenty of snacks. A wide variety of adult and kids beverages were served. They took us on a lovely sail along the island coast and we enjoyed swimming in a beautiful bay with crystal clear water. Their service was very friendly and attentive. We had a wonderful day with our family.

An unforgettable day on the water! - We had the most amazing day aboard a private catamaran with Elmira and Mike—and I truly can’t say enough about the experience. From the moment we stepped on board, they made us feel like royalty. Their hospitality was next-level. Every detail was handled with care and intention, and they somehow managed to anticipate our every need without us even asking. The food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—and the drink options? Endless! Whether you wanted something tropical, bubbly, or just a refreshing mocktail, they had it ready with a smile. It wasn’t just about the service, though (although that alone would have made the day). Elmira and Mike created such a warm, welcoming vibe that it felt like spending the day with old friends—who just happen to be amazing hosts with a beautiful boat. If you’re looking for a day that’s both luxurious and laid-back, I can’t recommend this enough. Truly one of the best days we’ve had in Sint Maarten!

Red Baron Charters is a Gem! - What an AMAZING time with Mike and Elmira on their beautiful catamaran! They are experts at this and you will not be disappointed. The amenities on the boat were top shelf! We ate well and we swam for hours. Terrapins, barracudas and butterfly fish were all around us - what more could a snorkeler ask for? Truly wonderful day at sea. Thank you Red Baron Charters. Well done!!!
