Awesome Tour! - Sammy and Junior were the best! They gave us a very good tour of the best parts of St. Maarten, both the Dutch and the French sides. Creole Rock was great and teeming with some small and vibrant fish, and Tintamarre Island had a few sea turtles around the area. There was plenty of time to relax throughout the day - just be sure to bring sunscreen and apply often!

One not to miss - St Maarten Grand Island Speedboat and Snorkelling tour with Lunch. is the tour we took arranged via 118 shore excursions. A really good day out, Speedboat with Sami and Irwin in charge and 14 guests. We stopped at some excellent snorkelling places, gear was provided and was clean and in good condition. Managed to see, photo and video Turtles plus too many species of fish to list here. Commentary and information was provided throughout by the two guys who did and excellent job looking after everyone and ensuring they had a great time. One stop was at Grand Case to have lunch, plenty of choice as long as you had rice and beans with it. Very popular place, the food was very tasty and people seemed to come from all over the island to queue to sit and eat. Plenty of refreshments available on the boat, another stop near Mahon Beach to watch planes swooping over your head as they came in to land. Back by 4.00pm with a feeling that you had a full day out.

Perfect Excursion - We took this tour while visiting St Maarten on Harmony of the Seas. It was our favorite day of our cruise. The team was both professional and personable and really made us feel welcome. The scenery was beautiful and all our stops were great. The BBQ lunch is a MUST!! The food was unbelievable. We arrived back in plenty of time to get back on the ship. Thanks so much for a perfect excursion!!!

Worth the trip! 💜💜 - Captain Jean-Franco and Natalie were gracious and attentive hosts. I was a little concerned about reentering the boat from the water. But it wasn't too hard and they assisted! The waters were beautiful azure... just amazing! Surf was a little rough... but the on-board narrative of our tour was worth the trip!

Best excursion day ever!! - We had an AMAZING experience on the boat with Captain Boy and the other people on the boat. From the moment we walked on we were met with smiles and laughter. The speed boat in itself was so much fun. Captain Boy played great music the entire time and we all mingled over beers and rum punch, what more do you need?? We snorkeled at a few different spots and it was a great experience each time. We saw lots of fish and even saw a turtle! The lunch at Grand Case was unlike any other meal we had, sooooo yummy. We ended the ride being pelted by a torrential downpour and it was actually so much fun. We karaoked our way through it! Such an amazing experience and would LOVE to do it again :) Shoutout to the BEST captain ☺️

Drone Island and an Amazing Seaside Food Shack - And Snorkelling Too! - Captain Nicholas was great. He rescued a pair of sunken sunglasses for 1 passenger and went out of his way to try to find a lost $700 drone on the turtle stop on the french side. I can't remember.the island's name, so now I call it Drone Island cuz the drone is still there having landed on a rock. The lunch stop was amazing. From tne outside and inside, the place is a shack. But the food was amazing and cooked on a charcoal grill with a fantastic combination of seasoning. The lady preparing the food was given a well deserved round of applause by my fellow shipmates.

Great trip, bring cash! - My family with 3 kids (aged 4, 6, and 8) had a great day with our captain Sammy! We brought snorkel gear incase they did not have small enough sizes. They did have snorkels, but not flippers. They also had small life jackets and pool noodles to float on. Sammy made a killer Rum Punch and kept all the drinks flowing for both adults and kids. He had a great play list and had us all dancing in between stops. The tour lasted about an hour longer than it was supposed to (no problems for us)! We were very grateful for Sammy's knowledge, fun personality, and how great he took care of us. A few things travelers should know: the marine park fee was $30-$35 for our family of 5. This had to be paid in cash before the tour started. Also, the trip advisor tour I purchased said we would have lunch (not included) at Yellow Beach. We did not get to eat here, but were taken to another place where only cash was accepted. I think Yellow Beach would have been a better option. But the surprise cash requirements ate into my planned tip for Sammy.

Speed boat tour - Awesome day on the water w Brett. He said his goal was to make our day the best day of our vacation, & it’s exactly what happened. Very comfortable ride even though it was temporarily bumpy on occasion, he knows how to drive a boat & take care of guests. I’d give this tour an 11 plus..excellent day

Room for improvement - It was a fun crew with plenty of drinks. The disappointing points were the shortage of fins for snorkeling and the unexpected extra cash charge of $6 each at the boat for using a credit card through Viator. Several of the other customers expressed their disagreement with the charge. In my opinion this issue should have been between Viator and Captain Flint.
