Top notch, we will be back!! - Captain Alan and his crew were amazing!!!
Captain Alan checked us in and did the safety brief. Captain Cisco and first mate were so friendly and accommodating, the ride was great, they set good expectations. We saw turtles, various fish, and the scenery was top notch.
The cherry on top was Kira, the Jack Russel my kids feel in love with her.
Anytime we are in St. Maarten, we will be back on the boat with Captain Alan and crew!!

Incredible Experience for a Group of Teen Girl Scouts - It has taken me longer than it should have to write this review, but late than never...right?!? In June, my Girl Scout co-leader, another volunteer and I took nine (9) Girl Scouts (1-14yo, 2-15yo, 2-16yo, 3-17yo and 1-20yo) on a Caribbean Cruise. We decided to plan our own excursions and selected Captain Alan's 1/2-day adventure. We worked with Paul to coordinate the experience, and he was good to work with. He coordinated transportation for us and his instructions to the pick-up location were perfect. The day that we arrived the weather was a little iffy. As we were getting to port, I could see rain on the horizon, and we were afraid that they would need to cancel for weather. Upon arrival at the excursion Capt. Alan explained that the water would be a little choppy getting to our stops, but once there we would be able to easily snorkel (this was important to us because one of the girls with us had never been on a boat or snorkeled before). I appreciated the heads-up because it permitted my co-leader and me to speak with this girl and let her know what to expect. Once we were set with flippers, had our safety briefing, and Adam rescued a trapped bird which we highly encouraged, we were off! On the way to our first stop, our most experienced travelers (and boaters...my daughters) were in the very front of the boat. The water was rough, but the girls absolutely loved the ups and downs and getting sprayed!!! Cisco was our Capt. for the day, and he navigated the waves amazingly. I have traveled to many Caribbean locations and taken many boat excursions in all sorts of weather. I have never had another Capt. that navigated the waves with such skill. Not once did we slam against a wave. At the first island, we snorkeled with a lot of turtles and several rays. Some of the girls swam to the beach and enjoyed looking for "treasures". After about 45 minutes in the water, we had some lunch (French-style sandwiches, fresh fruit, pasta salad and cold beverages). The food was delish and then we were off to our next stop. At our second stop, we swam near a healthy reef and the girls were able to see a variety of brightly colored fish. Our final stop was at Pinel Island. Our girls loved the little "boutique" on the island, and they absolutely loved watching Adam feed the iguanas. He even held one so that the girls could "pet" it. On the way back, all but three (3) of the girls felt comfortable in the boat and decided to sit in the front. As the boat cut through the waves and the water sprayed, the girls laughed and giggled. It was really fun to watch as the water sprayed up and over the boat, completely soaking them (it was very hot, so I’m confident that it felt great). The various stops that we made were all wonderful, but the best part of the experience was Cisco and Adam. A group of nine (9) girls can be a bit much to handle, especially when they are sassy, independently minded teenaged girls, but Cisco was amazing with them. He had a comeback for each of their sassy requests and questions. He met their sarcasm with sarcasm, and it made for a phenomenal experience. Cisco was also very patient and helpful with my co-leader. She has a bum knee, which she is always afraid she will re-injure, so sometimes she won't get in the water despite her love of snorkeling and swimming. Cisco assured her that we would be able to get her safely in the boat, and even when she got into her own head and panicked a bit, he was patient with her. She had an amazing time, and I was very appreciative that he made her feel so comfortable. Adam was also great. He did a great job of staying on task despite having a boat full of girls close to his age. We could not have asked for a better experience for this group of girls. The girls all agreed that this was one of their favorite excursions. Thanks, guys, for a great outing. When I make it back to St. Maarten, I'll definitely book with these guys again.

Beautiful snorkeling! - The transport from the port was easy and comfortable. Marcus and Adam were our captain and mate for the snorkel trip. Both made the trip fun, and they were both great guides and helpful hosts! All of the locations were beautiful and the snorkeling was great! We saw tons of sea turtles, sting rays, urchins, and tons of different types of fish. We didn't get to stay at Pinel island for very long, but although it was nice it wasn't what attracted us to the excursion in the first place. The ride was a bit bumpy due to water chop and wind, but it was fun and the views are gorgeous! We definitely would do this again!

Amazing family experience!! - Captain Alan provided very good communication about the trip and was very accommodating for our family trip. We were staying at Oyster Bay Beach Resort and it was only a 1 minute walk to the marina. We had Marcus as our captain for our 4-hour 3 Island snorkeling tour. Marcus was amazing and really put in personal touches to make it seem like we were all part of a big family. He does make a wonderful turkey, cheese and apple sandwich. But, more importantly, as a native, he took the time to explain things about the Island, including some history, and genuinely cared about sharing it with us. He also had some fun joking around with our teenage boys. He pointed out different fish species to us and helped find a spot where we were swimming next to sea turtles!!! Highly recommend requesting Marcus. We also felt extremely safe with him as the captain. This tour made our vacation! Will plan this again for our next trip to SXM.

Great day/Great weather - We had an amazing day today! We had Captain Miles and Jerson. Both were extremely knowledgeable about Anguilla and fun to be with. The waters were a little choppy going out but the captain was an incredible driver especially coming home with crazy waves. They provided amazing chips and homemade guacamole as well as an incredible lunch. The views were spectacular, the beaches were impeccable and the sites were unimaginable. We met new friends and enjoyed every minute of this excursion. We will definitely go on this tour again the next time we visit St Martin. Thanks for a great day!!

Great trip! - What a great trip! Captain Cisco and first mate Adam were wonderful. The sandwiches they made for us for lunch were delicious on fresh baked French baguettes. Adam even held an iguana at pinel island for us to pet! And we saw sea turtles. Great experience, highly recommend!

FANTASTIC Trip! - We had an absolutely amazing trip with Captain Cisco, Jerson and Adam. The crew did an amazing job navigating big waves, a wild ride, and having an having fun. It was my kids (9 and 11) first time snorkeling and the crew took great care of them. The kids got to see turtles, sting rays, and fish. We all LOVED skipper Keira and she brought HUGE smiles to my kids that missed their pups terribly. HIGHLY recommend and hope to come again.

Not to be missed! - We went out with Cisco and Adam on a snorkeling tour. The water was very choppy but Cisco was able to maneuver through the waves with expertise which made the boat ride very smooth and enjoyable. Cisco may look like Post Malone, but he is an excellent boat captain! Cisco and Adam worked well together. They are both very knowledgable about the area and the things we would see. We saw sea turtles within 30 seconds of getting in the water at our first destination. Music, food and drinks made the trip a lot of fun. I would definitely go out on the water with them again!
