Day on the water - We had another absolutely fantastic day on the water with Cap Ian and Tanya. A beautiful sail, snorkeling, great music, delicious food and free flowing rum and spirits. If there is one day, you want to spend on the water, book with Ian Martin. Take one of his excursions, charter a day. Do a private to Anguilla, St. Barths. Go around the island. Give him a buzz, send an email. You won't be disappointed. It is always our favorite day, no matter the excursion!

Sailing fun at its finest! - I highly recommend sailing with Captain Ian and Tanya when you are in St. Martin. Fabulous boats and sailing! Food and drink were top notch and plentiful. We went on a sail to beautiful Anguilla, swam and snorkeled and enjoyed the gorgeous beach and fun bars there. Great customer service from Captain and Tanya. Would go again in a heartbeat.

10 out of 10 Day - We went on the catamaran day trip and had an amazing time. Brent was a great captain and Olga kept the drinks flowing all day. After a delicious barbecue lunch that we devoured, Brent took us to the best spot for snorkeling where we saw some sea turtles. Cruising back to the dock to Brent’s playlist was a highlight. We will definitely be back!

One of the best days ever. - Captain Brent and our hostess with the mistress, Abby were outstanding. There were some miscommunications with our booking contact and they took it all in stride and took us on one of the best days. Stocked with beer, wine, full bar, sodas and waters, we set off getting a tour of the island, stopping to swim a few times, and snorkeling through reefs and a little cave. They provided a snack and then an awesome meal of bbq ribs, chicken, salad, and pasta salad. It was a hit with all the adults and kids alike. They were engaging, especially with the kids. My 12 year old commented after “it was really nice how they went out of their way to know our names and get to know us.” And he was so right. Their hospitality was outstanding and truly added so much to the experience.
We saw sea turtles, cool fish, starfish, some stellar sites, and had some nice swells on the way back that had us all laughing as the kids on the “trampolines” got splashed. It was worth every penny and more.

An absolute blast - Through a series of coincidences having to do with timing and scheduling of itineraries, my family ended up on a private charter with Captain Ian and his merry crew for a full day around the island. Originally we had intended to go on the Sunday Funday trip to Anguilla, but the weather did not cooperate, and Ian was very accommodating and worked with us to arrange a custom itinerary around our schedule later in the week. I'm actually glad it worked out that way in the end because I felt like we got a more interesting experience out of it and we were able to connect with Ian and his crew in a more meaningful way.
I will admit I was a bit of a pain in the butt to Captain Ian with my specific requirements for sailing rather than motoring, but he was very gracious and indulged me even though the winds were super light that day and we weren't making great speed. It didn't matter... I had a huge grin plastered on my face from ear to ear the whole time, especially when Ian handed the helm over to me and let me steer the cat. I'll also admit I was a bit starstruck after learning that Ian is an extremely accomplished sailing racer, having competed in the '85 Whitbread Round the World race as well as many, many others.
I have to also give a huge shoutout to Tanya and Flynn who made our time on board an unforgettable experience. The entire crew was professional, fun and cheerful and made us feel like valued guests.
No question about it, we'll definitely be booking more charters with this awesome team when we return to St. Martin next time around.

Book one of Ian's Charter's right now!! - We had the most amazing day yesterday on Spellbound Too with Charlie, Rodney and Suzanne. From start to finish they were professional, personable and catering to our every need. We did a private charter around St. Maarten/Martin. Drinks were flowing, food was great and we had fun at our stops. Rodney was a pro with his great sea legs and British accent. Charlie was a terrific captain and answered all our questions and even let us drive. Suzanne made delicious food and drinks and checked in just enough to make sure we were all happy without being too overbearing. If you're looking to charter while in SXM, you can't go wrong with Ian's team. We can't wait to come back and charter again!!
