Activity itinerary

Our fast and stable power catamarans take you comfortably between stops, giving you more time to swim, snorkel, relax, and explore some of St. Maarten’s most beautiful locations—many accessible only by boat. Creole Rock – A vibrant snorkeling site within the Marine Reserve, known for clear water, colorful reefs, and marine life such as tropical fish, sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, and occasionally dolphins. Pinel Island – A charming island with a laid-back atmosphere, sandy beaches, calm waters for paddleboarding, a small gift shop, and its famous friendly iguanas. Tintamarre Island – A beautiful remote island with pristine beaches and excellent chances to swim alongside sea turtles. La Samanna or Mullet Bay – A final beach stop chosen by the captain based on conditions, both perfect for relaxing and one last swim. Plane Spotting – If timing allows, we’ll cruise past Maho Beach to watch jets land just overhead! Stops and order may vary depending on weather and sea conditions.
