Do it!!! - What a beautiful experience! Immaculate catamaran Lambada delivered via medium speed to Prickly Pear Anguilla for, swimming, beach and a catered lunch. Second stop was midday, which showed us the mainland and equally beautiful swimming and beach. Returned to Saint Martin under power and then sail which was peaceful And gave us the full experience. Perhaps the best of all, was the crew.!!! From the Captain to the Hands, they were so attentive and organized, friendly and fun. We loved it!

Prickly Pear Catamaran, I highly recommend it. Anguilla is stunning. The reefs were full of beautiful underwater activity! - We have been coming to St. Maarten for 5 years now. We have gone on a few day cruises. The Prickly Pear Catamaran was by far the best. The sights were beautiful. The snorkeling was fantastic. The captain " Captin K" was outstanding, and as for the crew, they all were outstanding. The food and adult beverages never stopped flowing. I have to give a shout-out to one crew member 0007. He made our day full of laughter and excitement. He took the time to tell us about himself and how he got his nickname 0007. I can truly say that this is the best Catamaran day trip we have taken on the island!!!

Fun in the sun and sand - It was a great boat ride. The Tango is large clean and well kept. We really enjoyed the prickly pear snorkeling. Lunch buffet was really good and the drinks flowed all day. The beach we stopped to swim was beautiful and the water peaceful. All in all a great trip all around!

Tropical Paradise - This trip was a 5 out of 5! The staff was welcoming and definitely looked out for our safety on the boat. The Prickly Pear island was gorgeous and snorkeling was so much fun. The food was perfect with snacks throughout the trip. Let’s not forget the rum punch and music!! Great combination. Also stopping to do more swimming on another island was perfect! Thank you for an amazing time.

An exceptional experience and value for money! - Would do this over and over again! The crew was warm, welcoming, attentive and kept us engaged and informed. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. Cheers to the guys on the Lambada, both Captain and crewmen, whether it was answering questions, telling of experiences and or keeping us informed, their engagement was welcomed. Every aspect of this trip exceeded what we paid for it. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. Do it just once and I can guarantee we will see each other again! There were no hidden fees and the beverages kept flowing, food was to our satisfaction.

BUYER BEWARE! - I booked this excursion for July 3, 2024, along with the Tango Dinner cruise scheduled for July 4, 2024. Hurricane Beryl caused murky water and the trip was cancelled. I collected my deposit and told the Activities director that I wanted to keep my dinner cruise for 4th of July that night. They tried to get me to switch nights, but I told him I wanted to view fireworks. We were in St. Martin 7 years ago to the day and had done the regular drink cruise and watched fireworks on the water. The woman called him back and told him the cruise was canceled, which was a complete lie. I guess they thought I would switch nights, but I didn't. I also found out that they lied about going to Anguilla, they don't. If you want to see the island, they offer ferries. I recommend taking a ferry and bringing your own snorkel gear. I know they offer all you can drink alcohol buy who wants to get drunk on cheap booze and then snorkel anyway? Stay away from this outfit!
