We had a fabulous day snorkeling. Lunch was delicious 😋. Junior and Nacho were both great! Nacho was a wonderful tour guide with lots of information about the island and places we stopped to snorkel and swim. We saw turtles and starfish. I would definitely recommend this trip.

This is definitely one of the best days to be had on St Maartens. Jad and Noah were amazing, knowledgeable and kept the drinks flowing. Our lunch was incredible Caribbean BBQ and all options tasted amazing. We saw fish we haven’t seen elsewhere and so many turtles. Felt a lot longer than 1 day. Just WOW!!
Heather_G, Apr 2026
What a great day we had! So fun to check out some of the great snorkeling sites and beaches. The drinks were flowing and conversation with fellow passengers was fun. The food at the restaurant was incredible. Overall I'd recommend this trip to anyone.

Sammy and Nacho were a great crew and team. They both worked hard to keep everyone engaged and happy but safe at the same time. The snorkeling was awesome and lunch was delicious.

Great charter, fun and knowledgeable guides. Would recommend this to friends and family for sure ...
Frank_L, Apr 2026
This review is long overdue. My wife and I were fortunate enough to take this tour with Sammy and Synder on Friday December 19, 2025.
The energy on the boat is electric! Sammy piloted the boat while Synder made sure the music was pumping! They even gave us historical facts about the beautiful island. These gentlemen were warm, professional and fun, fun fun!
My wife is not much of a swimmer...Sammy made her feel safe and really looked out for her. She said it was one of the great highlights of our trip. An experience she would always remember.
Each place we stopped was filled with wonderful warm people. The eatery served some fantastic food!
We have already recommended this excursion to our family and friends. We will surely book again when we return to the Island.

What an awesome experience! Lucas & Johan were so much fun, love the jokes, the drinks, the music, the lunch, and the exciting boat moves! Can't say enough great things about this trip, it was a last minute decision for my group and I'm sure glad we made it! Thanks so much for giving us lasting memories!

We had a great time the crew Jad and Noah did a great job of taking care of everything needed. They were friendly and professional even taking time to make sure the young kids traveling with us were taken care of. The weather and snorkeling were great as well.
Angela_M, Apr 2026
Billy Bones Charter Boat took us to multiple stops throughout the day. We were able to experience some local Creole cuisine for lunch, snorkel, check out a number of bays. Overall a wonderful experience! Lukas and Nicolas were amazing guides.
Elizabeth_S, Apr 2026
Great excursion!! Great lunch and had a blast with captain Jad and Eli. Super family friendly with a little adult spice.
Kelly_K, Mar 2026
Excellent boating trip around St Martin. We saw sea turtles, we explored 3 different islands, stopped at very nice beaches, and had a great time. Jad and Eli were very good guides and we would definitely fo with them again. A must do!
Elaine_L, Mar 2026
We had a chance to snorkel and visit 4 incredible beaches. The smaller boat ( 36ft) allowed us to get closer to shore. Junior( captain) and Damian were great and had lots of interesting facts, stories and an overall fantastic attitude. We stopped for a lolo ( local sourced) lunch at Grand Case and it was yummy. We enjoyed Tintemarre and Long Beach- so beautiful !! We would highly recommend this excursion.
Amanda_W, Mar 2026
This is definitely one of the best experiences I’ve ever done in my life! Jad and Flo were amazing! Seeing the many different areas of the island by boat was awesome and Jad was so informative with great tidbits but not being too “tour-guide”. The highlight was definitely snorkeling with sea turtles!!! We saw many beautiful fish at Creole rock but the sea turtles at Tintamarre was absolutely spectacular! The lunch provided was delicious! (Although it did take a while to get… worth the wait!) seeing planes come in and out at Maho beach was also very cool! My kids (15, 13 and 9) loved every minute of it as well as my parents! Overall, an absolutely fantastic experience! Book it!
Side note- if you’re coming from a cruise ship, don’t miss the message about letting them know your arrival time like I did! Know your ship time vs local time! No fault but my own! Messaging them through Viator app is very easy and they respond quickly.
Deborah_C, Mar 2026
Fun trip and the crew were informative about the history/stories of the different coves and towns we passed by and most of all, very helpful!! I FORGOT to mention the endless bar!! 😆 very easy to book and organize when getting checked in. not sure I would recommend for young children as the sea can be rough
Sue_R, Mar 2026
We had so much fun. Winds high and big waves but didn't take away from the fun. Captn John is experienced and 1st Mate Flo very helpful. Highly recommended.
Divine_D, Mar 2026
Me and my partner loveddd this excursion! Jed was amazing at entertaining and you could tell he really cares about you and your experience. I learnt alot about the island! Im not the greatest swimmer and this was my first time snorkelling but the day we went was very windy, Jed saw me struggling the first time and brought me closer to the snorkelling site. Our fav was seeing the turtles and we were so close to them my partner looked up and it was right infront of him. Flo kept the rum punch going, had to take advantage since it was included. Food was local in grand case and soo yummy! I highly recommend trying this out! Thank you Jed and Flo!
Terry_B, Feb 2026
Great day traveling around the island by boat and exploring the beaches. Junior and Noah were great!
Norman_K, Feb 2026
Awesome crew! Beautiful sites, food was great! Only recommendation is if you need a larger mask take your own.
Elayna_S, Feb 2026
We had so much fun! Junior and Flo knew what they were doing and took us to great spots. They kept the beers and rum punch full at all times! We would definitely do this again in heart beat.
Kelly_B, Feb 2026
Fun, informative, action-packed boat trip around St Martin. Two snorkeling sites (a variety of fish and sea turtles), a beach stop on Pinel, lunch stop in Grand Case, iconic airplane spotting at Maho beach. Junior and Flo were excellent hosts and ensured a good time for all. My third time on this tour—love it !
Theresa_F, Feb 2026
It was a perfect day! The guides, Junior and Noah, were very attentive and professional. They made sure everyone was having a great experience. The tour stops were well thought of: lots of fish at Creole Rock, saw a turtle in the water at Tintamarre Island, quick stop at Pinel Island and another stop I think at Long Bay. Then we stopped in front of Maho and they waited for two airplanes to pass over before continuing on. Lunch at a Lolo was tasty. My vegan husband enjoyed what was available for him.
Franca_S, Feb 2026
This is a phenomenal experience with the winderful Sammy and Tomas! Sammy grew up on the island so he tells the history and shows his passengers the various sights and beaches as we travel to the beautiful destinations for snorkeling! Sammy is patient and kind while helping his passengers snorkel and have best experience ever! Tomas is constantly assisting and offering drinks to ensure no one dehydrates! Not to be missed!
Dalila_S, Feb 2026
Amazing tour around the island. Is a must to do in St Martin and Billy Bones was perfect for that. I highly recommend.
Mary_T, Jan 2026
We had a wonderful day snorkeling and island hopping. We saw sting rays, tons of fish and swam with sea turtles. One of the highlights of our trip for sure!
Catherine_L, Jan 2026
Captain Nicolas and mate Lucas were awesome! The water was rough going to Tintamare Island but they did a good job maneuvering through the waves. Due to the rough waters, snorkelling wasn’t the greatest as the water was merky but it was still fun!
Lunch was fabulous at Grand Case!
A great day with a great crew! Would definitely recommend this tour!
Dan_M, Jan 2026
Excellent value for $. Crew were great, experience was great. Beautiful scenery, lots of time to snorkeled in a variety of settings, sea turtles are amazing.
Michelle_M, Jan 2026
Ask for Junior and Flo for your excursion. They were fantastic. It was such a fun day snorkeling, swimming, lunch on the French side of the island. We would definitely do it again.
James_A, Jan 2026
Great trip. Jad and Noah were great. Kept asking if we needed anything. Super friendly crew. Trip was worth the cost. Highly recommend.
Riggsj88, Jan 2026
The two Captain’s Sammy and Synder were amazing! They accommodated in every aspect of the trip. Lunch was great, cocktails flowed and the information about the whole area was great too!
Snorkeling was fun at the two stops that we were at! Saw lots of fish and a sea turtle!
I would recommend and go back for more fun!
