The experience

This tour packs the best of St. Maarten into one day: two swim stops, two chances to snorkel, a close-up look at the Maho Beach landings and a barbecue lunch, all from the deck of a spacious sailing catamaran.

We head out along the calm leeward coast to Divi Little Bay, only 15 minutes from the marina, for the first snorkel. Gear and a short lesson are provided, so beginners are welcome. Next we sail on to Mullet Bay or Long Bay, two of the island's most beautiful beaches. Snorkel again, float to shore on a noodle, or let us take you in by tender.

After the morning swim we serve French baguette sandwiches (ham and cheese, tuna salad or chicken), followed later by a buffet lunch of barbecue chicken and ribs, island rice, potato salad, Caesar salad, Gouda and fresh baguette. On the way home we pass Maho Beach just as the big jets come in to land.

On days with perfect weather, the captain may swap the route for the French marine reserves at Tintamarre and Pinel islands.
