Magic Time was just that! 5 star group - Took a 4 hour tour snorkeling and visiting a private beach today with Josh as captain and Jasper as first mate. Both were hilarious and made for a great day on the water. Beer was cold, rum punch was even better, and the smoked chicken and ribs at lunch were awesome. Make sure to use the bbq sauce and the homemade mustard! I do however recommend taking a taxi to the marina unless you want to walk the “ 5 Caribbean minutes “ from port

Beautiful location! - We loved our tour and were thrilled to see a sea turtle. It was so nice just being with our family and not crowds of other people. We stopped at 2 locations to snorkel and explore. Lots of drinks on board, food and snorkeling gear. Communication with the company wasn’t the best but they still delivered a quality experience!

Fantastic Tour - Capt Josh, Tamera, and Jess were a fantastic crew for our best day in St Maarten! Our group had a blast, the snorkeling was excellent and we had a great day with great food and drinks. The turtles at Tintamarre was our favorite stop on our cruise all the way around the island.
