We join the boomerang boat to Andrea. Want a wonderful day it was a full day from 9:00 to 5:00. Anguilla of course is stunning! The crew of The boomerang were so much fun and so helpful throughout the day. The food was delicious and the water activities were also wonderful. Got to swim to two different beaches in Anguilla snorkel and party with people from all around the world. Cocktails were included. We would love to join boomerang in the future when we come back!

The Boomerang’s Best of Anguilla: Swim with Turtles Adventure was incredible. The boat made stops at three amazing locations, with the most clear ocean water I'd ever seen. The food served was tasty with portions just right, and the inclusive open bar made this a great deal. Our crew were accommodating, well organized, information on what to expect through the day's journey, and clear safety information. Overall, I highly recommend.

I have been on many similar experiences, but this one has been the best i’ve ever been on. From the crew, the boat itself, the locations, and even the lunch served, you won’t want to pass this up. As advertised, we swam amongst sea turtles and saw rays, and many other fish. The water was so clear. Most importantly, the rum punch was being served from the minute lines were untied from the dock, until lines were tied back up at the end of the trip. Everything was organized and fun was had by all onboard.

Absolutely incredible trip! The crew was so friendly and kind and the service was impeccable. We never even had the thought of “I need” anything. Lunch was great, the day was spectacular, and the stops were gorgeous and fun. Music was a blast and drinks were fabulous. Appropriate for anyone; there were families on board and everything stayed appropriate (but still festive!). 10/10 would recommend.

Boomerang was amazing! We had such a great time on the boat and in the water. Toby, Deanna, and Leo were wonderful hosts! They took us to 3 different beaches so we can swim and hang out. Then we had a delicious lunch that they prepared. The drinks kept on coming as well! Everyone stayed hydrated and had a lot of fun.
I definitely recommend this to anyone who is considering it. It's worth every penny!

"If you're thinking about booking it, do it! Everything was exceptional—the crew, the food, the music, and the overall experience.. 10/10

We had a great day on the Boomerang charter to Anguilla, visiting Little Bay, Prickly Pear Cay, and Meads Bay. The crew was so kind and lively and they watched out for us at each stop to make sure we were safe. They had fun drink options and lunch was really good. (Some people got trashed on the boat, which started to get annoying late in the day because they were getting sick and falling all over the place.) But our family had a really great time! We saw turtles, sting rays, barracudas, lots of fish, and had fun snorkeling, floating, swimming to land to explore, and laying on the giant mat.
Peter_H, Jul 2026
Not to be missed. Had a great experience! The crew was professional and the lunch was great. Really enjoyed the snorkeling. Was able to see turtles, sting rays, fish and a coral reef.
Alfred_S, Jul 2026
The crew and staff were awesome. The water was spectacular in color, visibility and warmth. I would highly recommend this trip.
Rochelle_B, Jul 2026
It was amazing! The crew was great!
Food, drinks, and company was great!
We saw sea turtles, a barracuda, sting rays, and many aquatic fish while snorkeling.
All 3 stops were beautiful! Highly recommend!
Gigi_F, Jul 2026
The entire day was fabulous and worth the cost! The boat was clean and the staff was so wonderful 😊
Hannah_A, Jun 2026
10/10 would recommend!!!!! Check in was easy. Crew was helpful and attentive I honestly forgot their names but I think Angelo & Alyssa were 2 of them… food & drinks were really good. We went to 3 stops first one was an hr and the 2nd/3rd were 40-50 mins. Ride could get at choppy at times so if youre prone to motion sickness probably should bring something. This was def worth the money & I would recommend to everyone.
Kim_A, Jun 2026
Crew was awesome! Food very good and the trip was great. Got a little burnt but had a great time. Would definitely do it again!!!

The excursion itself was beautiful and full of activities. Once the boat stops, you are able to snorkel, paddle board, or float quietly in the ocean. You’re also able to swim up to the beach area and, at one location, a couple of passengers did cliff jumping. The views were unmatched.
The drinks were the best we’ve had on a boat excursion with plenty of options. We are used to the offerings of rum punch, beer, and soda. This boat offered several different cocktails to choose from. A definite plus! Lunch was by far the best we’ve had as well (jerk chicken and shrimp skewers with a pasta salad). The staff made everyone feel welcomed and presented a lively and fun atmosphere (Angelo, Oscar, Marrit, and Alyssa). They clearly are a well oiled machine and know how to make the experience enjoyable. Would highly recommend this experience!
Edouard_I, Jun 2026
Service and experience Incredible top notch.
The food and Nonstop drinks a hundred percent worth it.
Leslie_L, Jun 2026
The best experience with this crew, well taken care of, great drinks and food. Cliff jumping included

If you're looking for a sign to book Boomerang Charter Tour SXM to Anguilla, this is it.
The captain and crew somehow mastered the art of making sure our drinks were always full before we even realized they were empty. I don't think I held an empty cup once all day. The hospitality was incredible, and they constantly checked in to make sure everyone was having a great time.
We had plenty of time to enjoy each stop at Little Bay, Shoal Bay, and Meads Bay, the BBQ lunch was delicious, and the Peg Leg cocktail was so good it may have permanently altered my vacation standards.
Amazing crew, beautiful beaches, strong drinks, and zero regrets. Highly recommend!

We had a good time on the trip. It was a party boat and we weren't into the party, but many others having a good time without over drinking. The lunch was unbelieveable. The views were great. Did not see any turtles. I would recommend.
Lori_W, Jun 2026
Had the best time EVER!!! Great vibe, felt very safe and secure with the crew, amazing food with chicken and shrimp kabobs and some pasta salad…extremely tasty. I was super impressed with the function of the team, their priority of cleanliness with the food preparation and after service was amazing.
The vibe was great!!! Loved all the crew and really enjoyed the music and atmosphere was so enjoyable. Oscar, Talawny(T), Angelo and Cliff were great!! The team were extremely fun but most importantly were very professional and we felt very well taken care of.
Had the best time!!! Would give the team and company a solid 12 out of 10! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a great, fun adventure that is safe and enjoyable. Thanks guys for the best time!!!

I’m rating this experience as average. The service and crew were great and attentive. The lunch was very good. But the good service/staff was not enough to satisfy a better rating.
First off, the ride onboard is extremely rough. I believe this should be clearly stated in the tour description to advise people in advance. If you are prone to motion sickness (or unsure) in the least, take your pills! I took a pill beforehand and another near the end of the day. I’m so happy I did. The time it took to reach the 1st stop was >1 hour. Numerous people were vomiting throughout this trip (including immediately following lunch when we struck out over rough waves to reach the next location and during the ride back to port, which was also very rough). But, my biggest issue with the tour is the length of the beach stops. It is advertised as 1hr 10mins at EACH stop and, for me, that was a big determining factor for booking this specific trip. I was sadly disappointed when the 2nd stop (Shoals Bay) was only 35mins. Announced onboard as known as “one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean” and sadly being told we only had 35 minutes:(
It got worse from there as the 3rd beautiful stop (Meads Bay) we were only allowed 20mins and advised not to go ashore for lack of time. Terrible.
I’ve been on many similar day trips throughout the Caribbean, and have never felt as misled/disappointed in such an excursion (especially at this price point). I’m not sure where/how so much time was lost that caused our beach stops to be cut so short. It was not explained. The vast majority of the day is spent in transit rather than enjoying the “best of Anguilla”. Perhaps they should aim for only 2 stops instead of 3 to allow people to enjoy more time at each stop. Or had offered (or polled the passengers) to extend our day by 20 or 30mins before heading back to port. Something should have been done to compensate for the lack of time spent at the stops. I really wanted to love this day trip, but feel disappointed. For these reasons I would not recommend this trip unless you simply want a rough day on a boat.

Super fun day, knowledgeable and friendly staff. The provided lunch was great and I would totally book this again.
Mike_A, May 2026
The crew of the RIPTIDE were amazing, food and drinks were top notch, we will be highly recommanding this tour company.
Dennis_R, May 2026
They did an excellent job with drinks and an especially good job with the lunch. I would’ve appreciated more in the way of a fruit snack come mid afternoon. They did offer some sliced pineapple. I do have to say in all honesty that I thought they were diluting the alcohol heavily. I understand the point given that we were on a seven hour trip, but it would’ve been nice to have an option like wine to drink instead of the largely fruit juice drink drinks.. I understand the weather was not under their control but the last Beach stop was only 20 minutes and the second stop was only 35 minutes neither of which is enough time to really visit the beach…. I do think the staff was doing an excellent job and the boat was very comfortable and had plenty of shade.
Michelle_S, May 2026
The boat wasn’t in great shape. Oscar and the crew were fantastic. Food and drinks were great. The boat ride itself was awful. Choppy the whole way. Several people got sick Throwing up. The stops were wonderful but the description said swim with turtles. There was non of that. I was looking forward to that. That was one of the reasons I chose this excursion
Terry_S, May 2026
Fantastic day spent with the Boomerang crew. Crew were super friendly and a lot of fun. Food was fabulous, drinks never stopped and the waters and beaches of Anguilla were absolutely beautiful. Thanks Alyssa, Angelo & Oscar for a fabulous day!
Jennifer_M, May 2026
I can't say enough about this day trip. This boat ride did not disappoint!
Captain and crew - all amazing!
Lunch - 10/10! Fresh & grilled on the boat!
Drinks - made to your liking!
The spots we stopped at were breathtaking - beautiful water & beach.
I would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone visiting St. Maarten and looking for a hassle free, fun visit to Anguilla <3
Jake_S, May 2026
Fun crew, great boat and lots of blue water. The only disappointment was that one of our party was celebrating a birthday. We let them know well in advance and to just maybe announce it and make them feel special. They didn’t. Overall a great day and I highly recommend. I just wouldn’t do it for a special occasion again.
Yvette_M, May 2026
Excellent trip and great friendly staff ! This is my second time going with this company and I loved it!
The only thing I would suggest is the efficiency when trying to visit 3 spots, maybe figure out a way to be able to spend more time at each, the short 30 min at each spot felt very rushed and didn’t really get a chance to enjoy the time at each spot. Or possibly only visit 2 and allow more time at each - overall an amazing experience and will return, Thank you.

The captain, first mate and bartenders were all amazing. They were friendly and ran a great experience. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and every person on the boat had a blast!! We were all smiles and dancing by the end. Each stop was so fun and a little different. We enjoyed snorkeling, paddle boarding and hanging on the mat as well as jumping off the top of the boat. We swam to shore a few times to enjoy the white sand. I give it 10 out of 10 and highly recommend it. The only disappointment was there were no turtles to be found.
Nicole_T, Apr 2026
It was so much fun. We saw so many turtles at the first stop, even 2 baby ones. Also saw a small shark and some stingrays. The water was so clear and nice. The food and drinks were great. The staff were amazing and friendly. Such a fun day.

This was THE funnest catamaran I’ve ever been on. The crew was amazing, cocktails were delicious, and the beaches were jaw dropping. I would recommend this to anyone.
