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!

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.

Beautiful trip around Anguilla. Three stops (inspite of some weather in the area). All 3 stops were amazing. Food was great. Service was also wonderful. Captain and crew did a great job all around. Started and ended on time and was a fun, enjoyable trip overall.
Trevor_W, Apr 2026
Fantastic crew. Food was good. Lots to drink for those who partake, which we did.
The disappointment for us was.., no turtles. Anywhere we stopped. Seemingly swimming with the turtles, as advertised, was not a priority. Not spoken about by any of the crew members during the cruising. Honestly, didn’t even encounter many fish. So, the turtles were a bust. And if that’s why you booked with this cruise, you’ll leave feeling quite disappointed.

Nice excursion with plenty of drinks on board. Lunch was also good. Great places to swim and enjoy some quality time. The team was attentive and the music atmosphere was amazing! Would definitely do it again when I return.
Angela_Y, Apr 2026
The crew was amazing and the boat was beautiful! The food was tasty and the music was fun! The captain gave us a rundown at every stop so we knew what to expect and how much time we had to explore and enjoy the water. Our bartenders were phenomenal. They kept up with the entire boat and made sure no one went thirsty. Great experience! Anguilla was breathtaking.

Boomerang is always a fun time. The food, drinks and staff are great.
The new port is easier as well.
Jennifer_L, Mar 2026
Top notch all the way. All people working on this boat were amazing !! Great drinks. Great food and stopped at amazing beaches!!
Phil_B, Mar 2026
Anguilla is beautiful. We enjoyed our time and met some wonderful people on board. The crew made sure we stayed safe.
Brandon_S, Mar 2026
It’s was great! Very good experience! Love the beaches ! So fun! Great cocktails! Great service ! One of our favorites!
Thomas_H, Mar 2026
I got very sea sick but the crew did their best to make me comfortable (especially the male bartender). He deserves a big raise for how he handles his job and his customers.

nd heads back around 4:15ish, so it's quite a bit of travel time throughout the day. Hits the highlights for Anguilla beaches. Very much a party catamaran feel, but the crew is wonderful and I was pleasantly surprised by the food. The boat wasn't crowded and had plenty of space with the number of people onboard. For what was offered, I thought the price was fair.
Pelumi_D, Feb 2026
Amazing crew and great time. The waters of Antigua are so beautiful. Definitely worth checking out. The ride can be a bit bumpy and wet so be careful where you are sitting on the boat. Lunch was delicious and they had a variety of drinks to choose from. I didn’t know what to get so the girl at the bar made one special for me and it was really good. Highly recommend. The tour is on the pricier side but it ended up being similar price or a tiny bit cheaper than if I were to go on a day trip on my own. Plus they took care of everything, all we had to do was show up.

We chose this tour based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews and were looking forward to a four-stop Anguilla beach experience.
Unfortunately, our experience differed significantly from what was advertised.
Of the four advertised Anguilla stops, three were not delivered due to weather conditions (as later confirmed). We understand that safety must come first and that marine itineraries can require adjustments. However, the primary issue for us was the lack of clear communication.
We became aware the day prior that swells were forecasted and specifically asked about conditions on the morning of departure. We were reassured that conditions were “perfect.” Ultimately, multiple advertised beaches were inaccessible.
Nearly two hours elapsed between boarding and the first completed stop, with time spent traveling along the northern coast before turning back. This resulted in a substantial portion of the excursion being spent in transit rather than at destination stops. The day later included a stop in Sint Maarten, which was not part of the advertised Anguilla-focused itinerary.
Clearer communication — either before departure or during the excursion — would have made a significant difference. For example, proactively explaining the impact of conditions, outlining revised options, or even polling guests on how to proceed would have helped manage expectations and allowed for a more informed experience.
The crew was friendly and professional, and we recognize that weather can be unpredictable. However, greater transparency around itinerary changes would have better aligned the experience with what was marketed.
If weather flexibility is important to you, I would recommend asking detailed questions in advance about how itinerary changes are handled.

If you’re trying to figure out which company to book with for Anguilla, stop looking, this is it. The crew was absolutely wonderful, the food delicious (really the best we’ve ever had on an excursion), and the stops —gorgeous. We snorkeled, swam, jumped off the top of the boat, and had the best time with the other guests. Thanks so much for the dreamy day!
Linda_W, Feb 2026
It was more of a party boat. This was not catamaran as I thought it was. It was just a big boat no fish nets to sit on and lounge . No lounge areas. No turtles , no fishes to see just drinking . Honestly not worth the $179. Plus Angullia $25 fee. Would not recommend
Julie_B, Feb 2026
Prickly pear cay was one of the most beautiful place I have ever seen! All the beaches we saw were absolutely stunning. The staff was awesome!
Lou_P, Feb 2026
We had a fantastic day on the water around Anguilla. Our captain and crew were friendly and very capable. They ensured all were having fun and enjoying the available activities. I definitely recommend this tour!
Kelly_V, Feb 2026
Had lots of fun, the drinks were great and the crew was very friendly. They played good music and kept the vibes high.
Allison_C, Feb 2026
This is our second time with this company and we loved it! The lunch is yummy, staff is attentive and the drinks are great!
Rebecca_J, Jan 2026
My husband and I have taken this trip with Boomerang twice now to Anguilla, and both times it was exceptional! The staff on the boat are friendly, the drinks and food are amazing, and the stops provide plenty of time to see everything. They provide snorkeling equipment so you have the chance to spot sea turtles, sting rays and tropical fish, you can also jump off the boat, or just lounge around in the water enjoying the day. Hands down this is one of our favorite adventures we take when visiting St. Martin and will continue to do it again and again!
Jennine_L, Jan 2026
Overall, I really enjoyed this day trip to Anguilla from St Martin. The crew were fantastic. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. The food and drinks were also delicious and well done.
This trip is less about snorkeling and more about visiting several beautiful spots off the coast of Anguilla, with time to swim and enjoy the ocean. I did not see many fish compared to other places in the Caribbean, and there were definitely no sea turtles. That said, we still had a great time, and Anguilla is absolutely gorgeous. I do not regret going at all.
If your main priority is snorkeling, I would recommend one of Boomerang’s St Martin trips instead. The water was quite choppy even on a clear day, so I was glad I took Dramamine. If you are prone to seasickness, definitely take motion sickness medication beforehand. One passenger on our trip was seasick for most of the ride.
The boat itself is clean, spacious, and comfortable, with two bathrooms, which was a nice bonus.

The snorkeling is bad. No fish. No coral. No turtles. The crew is fantastic! The cat is fantastic! The food was fantastic! And the other travelers were fantastic! A wonderful day but not if you were looking forward to snorkeling Cost is high considering no
Turtle experience!
Kristi_B, Dec 2025
Great experience. A year later, we think back to this trip with fond memories and we are glad we did it!
Cristi_J, Oct 2025
2nd time on the Island and 2nd time time with Boomerang. This time we went to Aiguilles island on the party boat. The crew was awesome & the guest all had fun. We stopped in different coves and swam and snorkled. Boomerang makes a good lunch and great cocktails. We highly recommend this tour.
Matthew_H, Sep 2025
Captain, Mate and bartender were awesome! Each of the sites that we went to around Anguilla were beautiful, the drinks were flowing, and the food was incredible.
Don_S, Aug 2025
Awesome trip!! The 4 stops in Anguilla for snorkeling and swimming were picture perfect. We were in water that was turquoise blue and crystal clear. The captain and crew made sure everyone was safe and the open bar and Caribbean lunch was delicious. I am so glad we took this trip as it was the highlight of our SXM vacation. Do not hesitate to book this.
