Bargain seekers flock to the duty-free and sales-tax-free stores of Philipsburg's mile-long commercial district. Visitors also enjoy the city's art galleries, historic forts, casinos and zoo, as well as Great Bay Beach and its boardwalk.

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.

We used Kathy Royer for pretty much our whole trip for taxi service around the island. The van was new and clean and she was always prompt and showed up when we called. She offered great advice on where to go. They took our temperature everytime we got in the car as a precaution against the virus. We felt totally safe with her and will use her again when we return

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.

Arun was super amazing and accommodating. He picked us up at our hotel and gave us our own private family tour. He showed us the island and all the key points and to Maho to watch the planes over the beach at the airport. I highly recommend this tour to anyone. Buggy's are new, clean, safe and super fun.
