Our entire Framily enjoyed the amazing boat ride drivin by Sammy and hosted by Nacho! The boat ride was smooth, fast, fun, and exhilarating! The company was able to accommodate our 11 people on same boat😁 All the bay/beach stops had amazing views, water Crystal clear, sand felt like sugar. I will always book with Billy Bones for boat ride. Thank you

I had so much fun on this getaway! Junior was a great host and took us to some gorgeous spots. The vibes were fun and the drinks were pouring. Anguilla has some of the most beautiful beaches and I can’t wait to go back!

From start to finish this was an amazing experience. This was by far the best thing we did on Sint Maarten. Sammy and Thomas, our crew, were EXCEPTIONAL! From island history and information to ongoing service of drinks and snacks, they went above and beyond. If you choose one excursion while visiting this island, choose this one. To see Anguilla and take in the many beaches in one day is nothing short of amazing. Book this boating excursion. You won’t regret it!

Danielle_M, Jun 2026
This was a fun must-do experience. We had a small group of about 16 people (my group accounted for 4 of 16). Our captain Sammy and his co-captain (apologies I forgot her name) were both super friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We stopped at three or four islands (including Anguilla) and had an opportunity to scuba dive in between stops. A sandwich lunch (which was pretty good), chips, and unlimited drinks & rum punch were included in the boat experience. My group also decided to try the food at the beachside restaurants and did not regret it. Everything we tried was tasty. Overall, we felt this was a 10/10 experience and would do it again.

Fantastic Day in Anguilla

virginia_k, Jun 2026
Junior (captain) and Noah (mate) took excellent care of all of us. They encouraged our group to have fun while balancing cleanliness and safety as top priorities. We made 4 excellent stops on a gorgeous new boat that was well maintained. It was concierge level service every step of the way. We enjoyed the scenery, swimming in the gorgeous water, and snorkeling. At times, it could get a little rough but the kids loved it and we never once felt unsafe and no one got seasick. A hassle free day and so much better than taking the ferry to see the island. Book this trip!

A great way to spend a day out on the water! The beaches were beautiful, the captains were hospitable and knowledgeable, and overall a fun experience. Expect relaxing, snorkeling (turtle sightings included), cliff jumping, music, good food and drinks.

Must do tour!

Sakinah_K, Jun 2026
Ok. So I am not the one to do 5 hour excursions. Let alone 2-3 hours. BUT this was a time! Captain J and Noah were hands down AMAZING! The music, the service, the jokes. Just a vibe. And the beaches. Ooohhhhh the beaches. Man I would do this again FOR SURE!!!

The birthday boat

Tanisha_F, Jun 2026
We had the best time on this Anguilla getaway! Captain Jad and Noah were absolutely amazing and made the entire trip so much fun. There were about six people celebrating birthdays on the boat, including me, and they made sure we celebrated to the fullest. They kept the drinks flowing, the jokes coming (Captain Jad had us laughing the whole day) and captured some incredible photos for us to remember the experience. Most importantly, they made safety a top priority while ensuring everyone had a great time. Throughout the tour, we learned interesting facts about Anguilla, and every beach we visited was absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Captain Jad and Noah, for an unforgettable experience!

Excellent day! We travelled to 4 places & each one got better & better..our captains Sammy & Ely were wonderful, a lot of fun & we felt very safe. My favorite was Shoal Bay..breathtaking!! Would highly recommend.

Don't miss Anguilla!

Marisa_F, Jun 2026
This is a wonderful excursion. The boat is clean, well maintained and comfortable. The crew were exceptional. We stopped at four places on beautiful Anguilla for swimming, beaches and snorkeling. The lunch is a sandwich with chips and plenty of beverages were available. I highly recommend this outing!

Amazing daily trip to Paradise

ElisaPaola_B, May 2026
Everything is well explained in the activity description, the captain Jad and the skipper Noah were really nice and welcoming, funny, and providing also explanations during the boat trip about both Saint Martin and Anguilla. Sandy Island is a small paradise, but what we loved the most were the stops in Little Bay (where we could do some snorkeling, being able to see also a sea turtle!) and the beautiful Shoal Bay, with its amazing sandy beach and the unbelievable crystal water!! Definitely recommended!

An AMAZING experience!!

Heather_S, Apr 2026
This was an amazing excursion. Junior and Noah took excellent care of us. The tended to every single need in a thoughtful way. I loved going from location to location, instead of them just dropping us off at a beach in Anguilla and returning hours later. This was very engaging, fun and educational. I would absolutely do this again. 10 out of 10.

Great experience

Kevin_L, Apr 2026
I thought I was booking a regular boring ferry. I was so not prepared. Prepare to get wet, because it's a speed boat. Prepare for mad fun and enough drinks to have too much fun. It was great, but walk with water proof bag, towels and a change of clothes and a spirit of adventure

Response from Host, Apr 2026

You are absolutely right, we are everything BUT boring....:)

Boat blast to Anguilla

Scott_S, Mar 2026
Great day boating to Anguilla with Junior and Noah. The beaches and water were beautiful. Hilarious commentary about the area and its history. Never a dull moment and always ready to serve snacks and drinks. Would sign up for another trip if we had a few more days!
