We arrived a few minutes early and Sam was there and ready for us. Sam made the difference from having a good day to a great day! He took us to so many amazing places that we didn’t even know existed. The snorkeling was awesome and so was visiting Sandy Island! Our last stop was Maho beach and Sam timed it perfectly with a couple big airplanes coming in right over top of us for landing! I would highly recommend this!!

We booked a private half day charter around St. Martin with Sam and Yannis. My husband and I had the best time. It was customized so whatever we were interested in Sam took us around. Visited Creole Rock, Tintamarre, Happy Bay, Long Bay, and watched the planes land on Maho. Can't wait to come back and book with them again!

Elliott took us and another couple out for the day on his beautiful 35 foot boat. It was comfortable, stylish, and stocked with a variety of drinks for us to enjoy all day. Elliott was well versed in the area and super friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed spending our day with him! In terms of our trip, we booked 8 hours. We stopped at few places before making the longer trip over to Saint Barths. Elliott was knowledgable and ensured he knew the perfect spot to snorkel and swim with sea turtles at SB. Sure enough, as soon as we got to that cove, we saw many sea turtles and it was an awesome experience. Once we were done, Elliott took us over to NikkiBeach for lunch and set up a dry landing for us from the restaurant. Highly recommend doing this!! Food and drinks were all fabulous! We are so happy we decided to do this and can't stop talking about how awesome of a day it was. We are already planning our return! Thank you again, Elliott!!

Had an excellent trip on May 16th with Captain Stephen and his crew Illy and Das Vest (I hope I spelled that right). Captain Stephen makes sure everyone is safe and having a fun time. Illy did a great job serving drinks and making guests feel comfortable. Das Vest is a great young man with a bright future and is a reliable and steady right-hand man. Captain Stephen cooks up an incredible lunch on his grill with shrimp, veggie, and curry chicken kebabs, garlic bread, and pasta salad. Boat trips are typically similar wherever you go, but this boat trip separated itself from the rest because of the personality and care that is poured into the trip from Captain Stephen and his crew.

Everything was great! Miguel and Chris knew all of the best spots around the island. Pinel and Tintamarre were our favorite stops! We also saw some cool fish and turtles! They took care of whatever we needed and it was a perfect day. As first timers to the island, we didn’t know about and wouldn’t have been able to see these cool locations without this excursion.

What a great adventure; snorkeling, visiting various islands and nature preserves, and having an absolutely delicious hot lunch on shore. Captain Nicolas and Captain Sammy were fun, informative, and kept us safe at all times. A great way to experience St. Maarten, both the Dutch and French side. I highly recommend taking this trip especially with Captains Nicolas and Sammy. Enjoy!
