We had a great time aboard Seaduction with JP and James. Ride was great and the stops were even better…I mean it’s St Maarten after all! It was also affordable for our large group of 12. The marina was easy to find and food and drinks were served all day. We were back in plenty of time to catch the Star of the Seas and continue our vacation.

We had an absolutely incredible experience on this catamaran trip… truly one of the highlights of our time here. We were honestly a little nervous going into it because of the length of the trip and having our sweet 11-month-old granddaughter with us. But it ended up being absolutely divine and so enjoyable from start to finish. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. Bruno, Fritz, Josh, and Wendt were all fantastic and made everyone feel comfortable and taken care of the entire time. The views were breathtaking, the ride was smooth and relaxing, and the whole atmosphere was just perfect. The stops were amazing… Maho Beach was such a fun and unique experience, and the snorkeling was beautiful with clear water and great marine life. The food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, which made the entire outing feel even more special. What stood out most was how patient and kind the crew was with our family, especially with our granddaughter. Wendt in particular was wonderful with her… so gentle, patient, and thoughtful, which meant a lot to us as grandparents. If you’re looking for a memorable day on the water with an outstanding crew, stunning views, great food, and unforgettable stops, this is absolutely the trip to take. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

Collin_C, Jul 2026

Had an amazing experience. The captain and his team were awesome. Everything was perfect including the best lunch we have ever had on an excursion. Plenty of beers and rum punch. Great time had by all. Highly recommend.

Exceeded Expectations

Juan_P, Jun 2026

I would recommend for anyone on a cruise or vacationing in St. Marteen. We stopped here on a Royal Caribbean cruise and wanted an excursion that was more economical than what was offered through the cruise line but still got us back in time. The crew were super friendly, the food and drinks were better than expected (deli style sandwiches (ham/cheese & tuna), and for lunch: rice, bbq ribs and chicken along with salad). There were plenty of beers and rum punch for everyone and soda and water for kids. The crew would go out of their way to ask us if we wanted a drink or wanted anything. The stops were as described and we had a lot of fun swimming and snorkeling. Bring stuff for sea sickness if you don’t do well with that. We were very happy by the end and left a good tip as a thank you.

Awesome day on the water!...

JoAnn_L, May 2026

Awesome day on the water! Directions were somewhat confusing leaving from the cruise ship. 15-20 minute walk Great music, lunch and drinks. Enjoyed watching the planes land over the catamaran at Maho Beach. Snorkeling at Mullet Bay was poor, nothing to see and poor visibility. Long Bay was fun floating around. It was a fun day at sea. Snorkeling not so fun. Had awesome time feeding the birds cheese from my fingers. Jasper was outstanding!! Attentive and fun. Hard working.

Great Captain and crew....

Stacey_G, May 2026

Great Captain and crew. Very friendly, knowledgeable and customer service oriented. Made it back to marina with at least 45 minutes to spare before cruise ship departure. Kudos to JP and James(003.5) for the beer tosses and fun vibes!

Such beautiful scenery...

Allison_B, May 2026

Such beautiful scenery and a knowledgeable, friendly, fun crew!! Josh and 0007 were fantastic. With this being a smaller group of people we had plenty of room for everyone and didn’t feel cramped. Definitely recommend!!

St Maarten catamaran sailing trip

Philip_H, Apr 2026

This was a great trip. Tasa, one of the hosts and the captains and the first mate went out of their way to ensure that everyone was taken care of every minute of the trip. The 2 snorkeling stop were great as well. I highly recommend this catamaran trio to anyone who wants a day in the sun, snorkeling and spending the day with good people to join this activity when you are in St Marteen!!

Great experience

JJ_A, Apr 2026

This was such a great trip. The entire crew were friendly and fun, the food was great and the stops were perfect. We didn’t feel rushed or crammed in together. Highly recommend for families.

Great time! Staff friendly and knowledgeable! Loved that we sailed and turned the motor off!!! Lots of food and drink!

karyoneill, Apr 2026

Super experience! Lots of food and drinks! Great music playing on board. Fun for everyone! Nice equipment!

St Marten Boat Trip

Angie_S, Mar 2026

We had a good time and this island is amazing. The crew working the boat were awesome with the exception of our captain. He was rude, trying way too hard to be funny and kind of ruined our time out on the boat. I guess if you don’t drink you’re boring. We went with our family friends and had some little with us. We all talked about it on the way back to the ship and all had the same opinions of him. With that said, I’ve booked many excursions through Viator and will continue to do so.

Fun time

Francis_M, Mar 2026

JP was an excellent captain. Jasper and K were excellent as well. Very accommodating & interactive. Snorkeling at first stop was very good; the other stops not so good. Spent longer on boat than allotted time.

Tropical 2

Tara_L, Mar 2026

Great experience. Captain Mario & crew were friendly, helpful and pleasant. They went above and beyond to make our excursion fabulous. Arrived back to port on time as promised!!

Catamaran in St. Maarten

Captain Cade and the staff were friendly and kept the drinks flowing. The stops were fun and water was clear and aqua color. We had a great time and I would highly recommend.

Quality Time

Lisa_A, Mar 2026

This is a wonderful experience!!! The crew we had was incredible. They were very professional, kind, worked hard to make our trip amazing. And they did. We highly recommend this excursion. You won't be disappointed.

Fun catamaran ride

Avrey_G, Mar 2026

Very fun! Would do again. The staff was very nice, it was an overall pleasant experience and would recommend.

Take this Catamaran ride!!

Chris_P, Mar 2026

This excursion has very kind and helpful crew!! They were pushed to the gamut with people with issues and they stayed calm, calmed others and kept smiling! It was as advertised- the best day at sea you could want- endless food and drink, snorkeling in several spots, watching planes land ing near you, sailing, explaining the history of the island etc… We jumped on the huge rafts and watched fish underneath! They watched us in the water and made sure everyone was safe! It was a full day of excitement that we thoroughly enjoyed !

A Truly Divine Day at Sea

Billie_G, Mar 2026

Wonderful catamaran trip, highly recommend

David_J, Jan 2026

Great trip, wonderful crew who really looked after us, nothing was to much trouble. Plenty of food and drink included. Very close to the cruise terminal taking about 15 minutes to walk.

They’re not lying in their title!

Chris_P, Jan 2026

It was absolutely incredible. So much fun and the crew were amazing! We got back with plenty of time to spare before getting back on our p&o cruise ship. The weather took a turn during the sail but that didn’t stop the crew from making the most of it and making sure every one was safe! Highly recommend the booze was flowing, music was playing - fun had all round! Will definitely be booking again if we get to visit again!

The crew makes this trip

Namasha_S, Jan 2026

I booked this with low expectations and was happily surprised. I have sailed around the world and usually prefer experiences with as few people as possible. They did cap the number of people on the boat to 30, we were 25 I believe, and you had enough space on the boat as long as you were okay being in the front, which we were. So you need to bring lots of sunscreen, hats, and cover-ups to be in the sun for that long. What made the experience extra special and fun was the crew. They took such good care of us, made lots of jokes, rapped for us, and just generally made sure we were having a good time! You always had a drink in your hand and plenty of food. The island is also so beautiful, so even though we actually didn't sail, not enough wind, we did get to see three different beaches with stunning waters and beaches. I highly recommend it for those who don't want to pay for a private day charter and want to explore a little bit. We even snorkeled, and it was pretty good since they have a submarine, helicopter, and plane for you to see underwater.

Great boat day in Sint Maarten.

Benny_V, Jan 2026

Great trip! Fantastic crew, Captain Danillo and Samir. Got 2 extra stops. Beautiful beaches and snorkeling, and the luch was very good. Pick this tour!

Great catamaran...

Maria_M, Jan 2026

Great catamaran experience. The crew was very accommodating, good food and drinks, and it wasn’t overly crowded.

Great Day, But Not the Best Snorkeling

Nicholas_V, Dec 2025

The crew is fantastic. The catamaran was good. There were about 28 guests onboard but we had enough space so it didn’t feel too crowded. Overall we had a wonderful day and the sailing along the coast was awesome. The only thing that was below expectation was the primary snorkeling spot wasn’t very good. It was all sand with a couple of wrecked items like a small sub and a canon. If you’re expecting great snorkeling then this isn’t the tour for you (that’s the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5). But if you just want to get in the water and swim a little and see some spectacular views (Long Bay was really nice), then this is a great tour. We also got to see a large jet land at the airport so that was cool. I would still recommend the his tour but not if you are really into snorkeling at reefs.

Best tour ever!

Angel_K, Dec 2025

This tour is amazing!!! I have done many catamaran tours over the last 10 years and this is by far my favorite. I was concerned about taking my 7 year old and 16 month old grandchildren and I should not have been. The captain and staff were amazing! This is a must do tour!

Best Catamaran In St. Maarten by far

Max_N, Dec 2025

I’ve done dozens of catamaran + snorkel trips in St. Maarten and other islands in the Caribbean and this was hands down the best experience I’ve had. Captain Keeron and his 4 man crew were phenomenal. They made time for every person on board and made us all feel like we were at home. The first stop we swam in the reefs and saw dozens of species of fish. Between that and the next stop the crew put out a fishing line and caught a giant Mahi Mahi! The next stop we got to swim with GIANT Tarpon! Shortly after lunch was served and everything was absolutely delicious. The bar was open all day! At 2 of the stops you had the option to swim over to the beach which both were perfect. Pool noodles and snorkel gear were available at every stop along with a floating lounge mat. A hands down unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this crew to anyone looking to make the most of their time in St. Maarten! 10/10!!

Fantastic day out on the...

Mary_C, Nov 2025

Fantastic day out on the water. We enjoyed multiple stops, a delicious lunch, and an overall great day.

Eagle Tour Catamaran Trip

Julie_P, Nov 2025

Amazing trip on Too Rhum Punch. Josh, Charlie and Aiden were brilliant. They took us to a beach to snorkel then snacks then Long beach where we had lunch on the boat which was chicken, ribs, salad etc and a swim. Then Mullet Bay which was beautiful. On the way back stopped in the ocean right under the flight path to Mayo beach where we got fantastic pics of the planes flying over us. To top it off the crew caught a 30/40ib mahi mahi fish. Can’t recommend it enough fantastic value for money. Also Viator were fantastic as our ship couldn’t dock on the day we had booked the trip for. A quick phone call to change the dates and new tickets were emailed to me while I was still on the call. Would definitely recommend and would 100% use again

Framily Cruise Excursion

Stephanie_L, Nov 2025

We had a large group (30+) and we were able to contact the tour company directly to request a catamaran for our group for a vow renewal. The tour company was able to accommodate our request and confirmed the week before our tour. Once we were off the cruise ship, some people took a taxi ($3 per person) while other walked (15 min walk) to the marina. We checked in quickly at the marina and were assigned a catamaran (Too Rhum Punch). Our captain Josh, took our group to the catamaran to board and meet the crew. The captain and crew were excellent! We all enjoyed the food and drinks. We made 3 stops. We enjoyed all the stops but the favorite stop was the last stop was our favorite. We were able to see planes land and takeoff. The sand was super soft and powdery. The service was amazing. They even took a group photo of us on the catamaran with our cruise ship in the background to end our amazing trip!
