Benji was very experienced and funny.... the crew and the meal and the sail were fantastic! I felt very safe and the equipment was all good. A beautiful catamaran and NOT too crowded! A very smooth operation. Highly recommend! Also fun to see multiple planes land without the sand blasting you get on the beach... and great rum punch!

Captain Benji and his crew are absolutely phenomenal! As soon as you board this beautiful boat, they have fresh fruit/snacks and some delicious rum punch waiting for you. He thoroughly explains safety precautions and rules of the boat and truly makes you feel comfortable. The crew was very helpful in every which way. We had 2 swimming stops at two different beaches. The first stop included a snorkel stop as well. We had our own snorkel gear, but I was surprised and put at ease that the crew provided snorkel gear that was drenched in a cleaning solution! We traveled with our 8 yr old son who was a little apprehensive to jump in the ocean without me, and captain Benji took it upon himself to jump in the water with him! The crew provided a delicious lunch, and kept the drinks flowing the entire time! We spotted several planes landing above us as well which was a nice added bonus! I cannot recommend this excursion enough! Book it an you won’t be disappointed! Several travelers on board mentioned this was the best excursion they have experienced! The views of the island from the boat are truly stunning! Thank you again to Captain Benji and your amazing crew! My family and I will book with you guys again!

Fun Catamaran Adventure in St. Maarten

Catherine_N, Apr 2026
Awesome time! The crew, fellow travelers, lunch and stopping points were all entertaining and very fun!

Exceptional

Abigail_G, Apr 2026
We had the most amazing experience with the boat and crew. We had my mother, 70, my husband and myself, 40’s, and our 5 kids 18,18, 14, 14, and 3. There was something for everyone, no waiting for anything, amazing service, snorkeling that rivals any other place, and and overall perfect day.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for sharing your experience—it means a lot to us that your whole crew, from 3 to 70, had such an amazing time onboard. Creating a day where everyone can relax, explore, and enjoy themselves is exactly what we aim for. We’re especially glad you loved the snorkeling and service—our crew will be so happy to hear this! We hope to welcome your family back aboard Sail The Phoenix again soon for another awesome day on the water. - The Phoenix Crew

I had a lot of fun, but...

Briana_K, Apr 2026
I had a lot of fun, but my partner complained that it wasn’t fun. But he also just sat upstairs in the shade the entire time and didn’t do anything outside of talking to other people. So idk why he said he didn’t have fun. I enjoyed the boat and the food and the drinks and had a great time seeing more of Sint Maarten beaches.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Perfect day

Kailyn_C, Apr 2026
I had a great time. The captain did a great job. The drinks were great and the music was good as well. The food could have been a little better, maybe something a little more authentic would’ve been a good fit. The bathrooms were also very clean and the largest bathrooms I’ve seen on a catamaran. There’s enough space for everyone. You can either relax or go in the water to snorkel. They stopped twice for snorkeling. I couldn’t swim so I took pictures on the catamaran at one stop and relaxed on the large floating bed at the second. It was also nice to see the planes fly near Maho while on the vessel. Will definitely book again.

Great staff, horrible music

SarahAnn_B, Apr 2026
The staff was very wonderful and attentive. The music was absolutely horrible , did not give island vibes at all it was like I was in a department store.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for sailing with us and for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re so glad to hear our crew took great care of you—that’s always our top priority. We appreciate your note about the music as well. We aim to create a fun, easygoing atmosphere with a playlist that includes a wide variety of genres to suit guests of all ages and tastes. That said, we understand music can be a personal preference, and we’ll definitely keep your feedback in mind as we continue refining the onboard experience. We hope to have you back on board again soon! - The Phoenix Crew

Perfect Relaxing Day

Abigail_G, Apr 2026
Took a little to get going but the experiences was amazing! The drink options were great with lots of cocktails and good snacks. Lunch was a great chicken dish and relaxing on the ocean was so nice! We were able to see a plane fly over Maho beach which was also great. The snorkeling was cool for the wreck but it was a bit of a swim and I think our group wanted a few more fish. The service was impeccable and the size of the ship/person that was there was comfortable. If you’re looking for a relaxing day around the island, swimming in the water and drinking rum punch this is your vibe! Relaxing day with a little fun :). I think I would have liked maybe a little more history or information on the island but they didn’t promise that so I wasn’t expecting it. Great job team!

Best Catamaran Excursion!!

All day trip

Patrick_O, Apr 2026
The experience itself was pretty darn good. It would’ve been nice to have a fewer passengers due to the fact that the boats didn’t really have specific places for everybody to sit. The snorkeling was good, even though not all of us participated and the swim/lunch was a really great part of the trip. Everyone that worked on the boat was excellent. They were helpful, accommodating, and always making sure their guest were having fun and had what they needed. The boat is exceptionally nice and well kept. It was very easy to get in and out of both on and off boarding as well as swimming. Overall, it was a great afternoon. Really, the only not so great thing was it just felt crowded.

Perfect Day.

John_P, Apr 2026
We had a great time on this excursion. The seas were a little rough that day, but the crew did everything they could and bent over backwards to make sure we had a great time. The open bar was flowing with just about any mixed drink you could want and plenty of local beer. The onboard chef cooked a perfect lunch and the scenery sailing down the coast was amazing. Just about every Caribbean vacation we take we find time for a catamaran tour. This tour was a great time and I will certainly be back next time we are on the island.

One of the best...

Nicole_W, Apr 2026
One of the best Experiences I had while on vacation! The whole crew was awesome! We started off with the first stop being snorkeling and it was soo cool to swim with the fish and see the sunken submarine, cannon and helicopter. Being this was my first time snorkeling, they were very patient and made sure everyone was safe and had fun! You cannot beat a day of sailing around this beautiful island on a boat with unlimited drinks and food including a chef cooked lunch which was delicious! The boat was a good size so not at any time did we feel like we were on top of everyone. Seeing the island from the sea is a different experience and will def do this again on my next trip!

Great Time

Matthew_R, Apr 2026
Everyone on board made us feel welcomed. The food Amelia cooked was amazing, Benji offered us some great hot sauce from the island which was delicious. The boat was nice and the bathrooms were sufficient for the day. The snorkeling was good and having the ability to just relax in the blue water was the best. They took us to watch the planes landing in a chill spot and we got to hang in the water. You get to see some of the island on your cruise.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review—we’re so happy you felt welcomed from the moment you stepped on board. Amelia will be thrilled to hear you loved the food, and Benji is always proud to share a little island flavor. 🌶️ It’s great to hear you enjoyed the mix of snorkeling, relaxing in the water, and catching the planes—those are the moments that really make the day special. We appreciate you sailing with us and hope we’ll see you back on board again soon! - The Phoenix Crew

Catamaran

Streamside2000, Apr 2026
Great crew. Good lunch. Not really a luxury boat though. Swimming nice but not a good snorkeling island.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thanks for sharing your feedback—we really appreciate it! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the crew, lunch, and swim stop—those are some of our favorite parts of the day too. We do visit Little Bay for snorkeling on every trip, as it’s one of the most accessible and reliable spots along our route. That said, conditions like visibility and marine life can vary from day to day, which can impact the experience. We’re sorry to hear the overall feel didn’t quite match your expectations. We focus on delivering a relaxed, friendly, and well-run day on the water, but we understand that “luxury” can mean something different to each guest, and your feedback is truly helpful. Thanks again for sailing with us—we’d love to have you back on board again in the future! - The Phoenix Crew

Fabulous crew and voyage....

Laura_S, Apr 2026
Fabulous crew and voyage. Great lunch and drinks. Both sunny and shady areas of the boat. All 3 of us (mom and 2 teens) had a great time!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for sailing with us! We love hearing that you and your crew—especially the teens!—had such a great time onboard. From soaking up the sun to relaxing in the shade (with a drink in hand, of course 😉), it sounds like you experienced the best of both worlds. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to our crew—they’ll be thrilled! Hope to welcome you all back for another family day out on the water soon. - The Phoenix Crew

Excellent adventure at sea!

Meh

lisa0mari, Apr 2026
The boat is nice but that’s where it ended. Music selection was horrible! I don’t want to hear Sweet Caroline on a catamaran, what happened to Caribbean music or a top 40 mix? Honestly, the music ruined the vibe of the entire experience. Also, the crew didn’t do much for entertainment. I was bored. Lastly, I got a pescatarian meal… and that consisted of hummus and rice. Pescatarian means FISH! It’s literally free to catch a piece of fish, I don’t know why they thought hummus was a meal. Hungry, bored, ready to end it early.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your honest feedback—we’re really sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. We’ve recently updated our onboard playlists to include a wider range of music to better suit the variety of guests we have onboard. We’re also sorry to hear you felt bored during the trip. While our goal is to create a relaxed, fun atmosphere, we understand that guests are looking for a certain level of energy and engagement, and we’ll continue working with our crew to better read the crowd and elevate the experience. Regarding the meal, we do want to clarify that we don’t serve fish onboard, and our pescatarian option is a vegetarian alternative. That said, we completely understand your expectations and are sorry this wasn’t clearly communicated or didn’t meet what you were hoping for. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback—it helps us continue to improve. - The Phoenix Crew

Great way to spend the day !! Book it !

Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re so glad you got to experience a little bit of everything—snorkeling, great food and drinks, and of course those amazing plane views!

Our crew will be thrilled to hear your kind words. :) We hope to welcome you back on board The Phoenix for another adventure soon! - The Phoenix Crew

Super nice crew, not an interesting boat tour

Jill_H, Apr 2026
This was an adequate tour. There were a lot more people than the description mentioned- close to 50. There wasn't a lot of room on the boat for everyone to be comfortably, so vying for a position mattered. The seas were rough and we didn't travel far and we didn't get to any really super calm water. The snorkling was fine- there were a lot of other boats in the area. We spent, in my opinion, too much time chasing the planes. Wasn't that interesting of an experience. There was one paddleboard and again, the seas were not calm enough to do that. No kayaking as described. If you want a tour more connected to sea life or marine life, pick one of the island tours early. They were booked so that's why we ended up on this one. The crew however, was super nice.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback—we really appreciate it. We’re glad to hear that our crew made a positive impression, as creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere is something we truly prioritize. That said, we’re sorry that other parts of the experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. We want to clarify that there were 36 guests on your trip, which is within our normal capacity, but we completely understand that comfort levels can feel different depending on sea conditions and how everyone is spread out on the boat. Regarding the conditions, the sea state can vary day to day, and unfortunately, we can’t always guarantee calm waters or ideal snorkeling conditions. Safety is always our top priority, which can sometimes limit access to certain areas or activities like paddleboarding. Regarding the kayak, we did previously carry one on board but no longer do, and we’ve since updated our listing to reflect that—thank you for bringing that to our attention. We also appreciate your note about the itinerary. We try to offer a mix of experiences, including the popular plane-spotting area, but we understand that preferences differ—especially for guests hoping for a more marine-life-focused trip. Thank you again for your feedback—it’s incredibly valuable as we continue to improve. We hope you still enjoyed parts of your day with us and wish you an amazing rest of your time on the island. - The Phoenix Crew

More music

Melyssa_B, Mar 2026
I had a great experience on the Phoenix catamaran in Saint Martin! The captain, co-host, and entire crew were extremely kind and welcoming. Their hospitality was top-tier, and the customer service was truly A1. They were also very informative and placed a strong emphasis on safety, which made the experience feel comfortable and well-organized. The open bar was definitely a highlight drinks were flowing, and the overall vibe was fun and relaxing. They also served fresh cooked food on the ride. The only thing missing for me was the music. I really wish they had played more island music to match the setting. It would have taken the experience to a whole other level—we were ready to dance and fully enjoy the vibe, but the music just didn’t hit the way it could have. Overall, it was still a great experience, and I would definitely recommend it!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time on board and that our crew made you feel welcome, safe, and well taken care of—that’s exactly the experience we aim to deliver every day. We’re also glad you enjoyed the open bar and freshly prepared food… definitely two guest favorites! 🍹 We really appreciate your feedback on the music as well. Creating the right vibe is so important, and we’re currently working on updating our playlists to better reflect the island atmosphere—so your suggestion for more island music is spot on. 🌴🎶 Thanks again for sailing with us and for the recommendation—we’d love to have you back on board soon! - The Phoenix Crew

No sailing, only motoring on a sailboat

Anna_R, Mar 2026
You are not sailing, you are motoring on a sailboat. That was our biggest disappointment and probably other reviews say this and I just didn’t do my research enough. We actually own smaller sailboats and wanted to sail. This did not happen. Everything else, the food, the swimming, the views were great. But this should not be advertised as a sail on a catamaran because it’s not that.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your honest feedback—we completely understand your disappointment, especially as fellow sailors. On the day of your trip, conditions didn’t provide enough wind for a proper sail. In those cases, our captain will opt to motor so we can still deliver the full experience. When conditions allow, we absolutely do sail and love being able to offer that experience—it’s one of our favorite parts of the trip as well. We’re so glad to hear you still enjoyed the food, swimming, and views, and we hope to have you back on a windier day for the full sailing experience! ⛵ - The Phoenix Crew

Windy day

It was a windy day, so we didn’t go far. The food was good, and the crew was great too! It would have been nice to enjoy a beach, but we couldn’t get close enough.

The Most Amazing Experience!

Valencia_C, Mar 2026
Captain Benji and his crew are absolutely phenomenal! As soon as you board this beautiful boat, they have fresh fruit/snacks and some delicious rum punch waiting for you. He thoroughly explains safety precautions and rules of the boat and truly makes you feel comfortable. The crew was very helpful in every which way. We had 2 swimming stops at two different beaches. The first stop included a snorkel stop as well. We had our own snorkel gear, but I was surprised and put at ease that the crew provided snorkel gear that was drenched in a cleaning solution! We traveled with our 8 yr old son who was a little apprehensive to jump in the ocean without me, and captain Benji took it upon himself to jump in the water with him! The crew provided a delicious lunch, and kept the drinks flowing the entire time! We spotted several planes landing above us as well which was a nice added bonus! I cannot recommend this excursion enough! Book it an you won’t be disappointed! Several travelers on board mentioned this was the best excursion they have experienced! The views of the island from the boat are truly stunning! Thank you again to Captain Benji and your amazing crew! My family and I will book with you guys again!

We had an amazing time on this catamaran ride! From start to finish, the experience was incredible. The captain was fantastic—so friendly, knowledgeable, and informative throughout the trip. He shared interesting details along the way and made everyone feel comfortable and welcomed on board. The staff was just as wonderful. They were friendly, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, always making sure guests had everything they needed and that everyone was enjoying themselves. And the food was absolutely delicious! It exceeded our expectations and was the perfect addition to an already great experience. Overall, it was a beautiful, relaxing outing with a great crew, amazing views, and excellent food. I would highly recommend this catamaran experience to anyone looking for a fun and memorable time on the water!
