Setting Sail on a Jet Ski Adventure

As someone who has spent countless hours riding the waves, the idea of a jet ski tour around Saint Martin was too tempting to resist. The island’s reputation for stunning beaches and vibrant marine life had me eager to explore its hidden gems. I found myself at Anse Marcel, ready to embark on a two-hour adventure with Island Jet. The sun was shining, the ocean was calling, and I was ready to answer.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by Hugo and Lucas, the dynamic duo behind Island Jet. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and their knowledge of the area was impressive. After a quick safety briefing, I hopped onto my jet ski, feeling the familiar thrill of the ocean beneath me. The freedom of the open water was exhilarating, and I couldn’t wait to see what lay ahead.

Discovering Hidden Beaches

Our first stop was the picturesque Grand Case, where we paused to take in the beauty of the beach and the surrounding nature reserve. The crystal-clear waters were inviting, and I couldn’t resist a quick dip. As we continued our journey, we visited the secluded Happy Bay Beach, a hidden paradise that felt like our own private oasis.

The tour took us past Friar’s Bay, where the aroma of local cuisine wafted from the popular beach café. It was a sensory delight, and I made a mental note to return for a taste of the island’s flavors. Each stop offered a unique glimpse into the island’s diverse landscape, from the bustling Marigot Bay to the tranquil Baie Rouge.

Riding the Waves at Maho Beach

The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly Maho Beach, famous for its close-up views of planes landing at the nearby airport. As we approached, the roar of an incoming plane filled the air, and I couldn’t help but feel a rush of adrenaline. It was a surreal experience, watching the massive aircraft glide just overhead while riding the waves below.

Throughout the tour, Hugo and Lucas ensured we had plenty of opportunities for wave-jumping fun. Their expertise and passion for the island made the experience unforgettable. As we returned to the marina, Hugo shared the photos he had taken, capturing the joy and excitement of our adventure.

Reflecting on the day, I realized that this jet ski tour was more than just an excursion; it was a journey into the heart of Saint Martin’s natural beauty. For anyone seeking a blend of relaxation and adventure, this is an experience not to be missed. Jet Ski Tour
