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.

Captain Fly and Sean were awesome!! They made sure we all had a great time. We got to see several sea turtles at one of our stops which was probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. They took us to several other spots throughout the day to enjoy and showed us a few other places we could go throughout the remainder of our visit to St. Martin. Lunch was great!! They made extra effort for us to have a cool experience watching the planes fly in Maho as well. It was easily our favorite day in St. Martin! 10/10 highly recommend!!

Jad and Noah were great! They made the trip fun and worth it despite the weather! They both helped make unforgettable memories!

Had a ton of fun spending the day on a boat experiencing the different parts of Sint Maarten/Saint Martin. Yohan and Junior were excellent guides who provided a really great experience. Creole Rock in particular had excellent snorkeling, we saw all sorts of beautiful fish. The water out to Tintamarre was pretty choppy and may be difficult for people who get motion sick but it was beautiful once we were there. The lunch was so good we ended up going back to the same place the next day. We would absolutely do this again the next time we are here, highly recommend.

Capt. Sam and Alex were excellent hosts. Their knowledge of the islands and water were top notch. We saw lots of fish and turtles. The lunch was delicious and the drinks were strong! Safety was a top
priority.
Tracy_G, Jun 2026
This was definitely worth the money. Nacho and Sammy did an excellent job, taking care of us and giving us information about the island. We ate at a local restaurant on the beach and it was amazing. We saw quite a few sea turtles while snorkeling. Overall snorkeling was awesome. I highly recommend this excursion.

Our guides, Junior and Nacho, were excellent! Very knowledgeable about the area and quickly responsive to anyone’s needs even if it was just taking an empty soda can! Great spots and got to see lots of fish while snorkeling as well as sea turtles. Got to see a lot of iguanas at our 3rd stop as well. Really enjoyed getting to just interact with Nacho and Junior.

Had a great experience with Billy Bones Boat Charters in St. Maarten! There were only about 10 people on the boat, which made the trip feel much more relaxing and personal. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable throughout the trip. The food was really good, and the rum punch was even better. Everything was well organized, and the crew made sure everyone had a great time. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a fun and relaxing day on the water!
Victoria_M, May 2026
Absolutely worth it!! We had the best tour guides (Jad & Thomas). From the start they brought good energy and vibes! For anyone looking for a boat day I definitely recommend Billy Bones!! Plus lunch @ Lolos was awesome and drinks kept coming so be prepared :)!
Tracy_H, May 2026
Come ready to have fun! Captains Sam and Fly were extremely attentive, fun and helpful. Saw turtles, stingrays, and multiple numbers of different colorful fish and beautiful coral. I would definitly recommend this adventure. Informative and great fun. Brochure as promised and more!
Molly_N, May 2026
jad and Thomas where wonderful!
Absolutely amazing day seeing the fish at creole rock, and turtles at tintamarre.
Water is absolutely perfect- warm and clear!
I highly recommend it to anyone. They have snorkels, life vests, and noodles to use in the water. Rum punch, coke, sprite, and beer.
The lunch at the local place was amazing- even saw a starfish!
Aspen_D, May 2026

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.
Thomas_P, Apr 2026
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
