Your day, your way

Tropical Time is the newest boat in the fleet: a comfortable, family-friendly sailing catamaran with the whole deck reserved for your group.

A typical day starts with a 15 minute sail from the marina to the first snorkel spot. Gear comes in all sizes, along with noodles and vests, and the crew gives instructions and keeps watch in the water, so it is a great first snorkel for kids and beginners. Back on board, enjoy a freshly made sandwich and a rum punch.

Next we sail the coast to Mullet Bay or Baie Longue, passing Maho Beach to watch the planes. While you swim, the crew prepares a Caribbean buffet on board: barbecue ribs and chicken, island rice, pasta, potato and Caesar salads, Gouda and baguette. After one more dip, we head back to port.

Want something different? We can sail to Tintamarre and Pinel islands on the French side, or across to Anguilla, Prickly Pear or St. Barths. The route is planned with you and the weather. Special requests are welcome, though some may carry an extra charge.
