Ohhh…this was a magical experience! Mary & Peter were extremely hospitable, and well experienced on the water. The sunset was stunning, the water was tranquil, the drinks and snacks were delightful and the people who shared the boat with us were awesome! I am happy we booked this sunset cruise. It was the perfect adventure for our last night in St. Maarten!

This was not a typical party boat type excursion. It was a lovely way to spend our last evening. Beautiful evening and the boat was smaller and more intimate with only 16 passengers. The drinks and appetizers were very good as was the company on board. It was very relaxing. We will absolutely be booking with Pieter and Miriam again the next time we visit!

The crew was friendly, welcoming, and made the entire trip feel relaxed and enjoyable. They provided drinks and snacks throughout the sail, which made it easy to just unwind and take it all in. It was the perfect mix of peaceful and fun, and such a great way to end the day. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone visiting St. Maarten!

Pieter and Mirian were a delight. Both of them were very attentive and friendly. They wanted to make sure everyone was having a good time.

Nice sunset sail

Teresa_M, Sep 2026
I really enjoyed the sunset sail and would recommend it. The sail itself was beautiful, the captain was very nice, and the food and drinks were good. My original sailing was canceled because of the weather, and I really appreciated that they accommodated my schedule and were able to move me to the following day since I had other excursions already booked. The only part of the experience that could have been better was the communication. I hit unexpectedly heavy traffic on my way there and messaged to let them know. The response I received was simply that the boat leaves at 5:00, which added quite a bit of stress when I was already doing everything I could to get there. A little more warmth or reassurance in that moment would have gone a long way. Once I arrived and got on the boat, though, I had a wonderful evening. Being out on the water at sunset was beautiful, and overall I’m glad I did the experience and would recommend it.

Sunset Satisfaction from New Orleans and Dallas!

Linda_D, Sep 2026
Peter and Miriam were outstanding! They explained everything and as a first time patron riding that type of boat, dinging included, I enjoyed every bit of it. Peter and Miriam made us feel warm even offering cheeses and veggie pizza bites with a drink. Peter gave information and Miriam recommended places to eat. Prior to the trip, I got to speak with Mariam and I knew we made the right decision to book. Wonderful! The trip itself was wonderful. The boat was smooth, the waters were beautiful. That sunset was spectacular. 5. 5. 5. across the board! Highly recommended

Number 1 sunset cruise!

Beautiful and Relaxing Evening Sailing

Samone_E, Aug 2026
This was such a Great way to End the Evening. We Enjoyed our Guides (Both the Husband and Wife were really Sweet ppl) , the complimentary drinks and appetizers offered were also tasty and kept in rotation. However my favorite part was the Sunset sailing and the views from the boat, it was both Beautiful and Relaxing 😌⛵

Beautiful Sunset

A beautiful evening

Heather_H, Jul 2026
Absolutely amazing. Pieter and Mirian were lovely, so friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The boat is beautiful.

Lovely Sunset Cruise

Christine_B, Jul 2026
Great 2 hour cruise with a hospitable crew with great service. Drinks and apps were flowing. You do have to take a small boat to the sailboat, but it’s a short easy ride.

Excellent cruise for a family.

Jim_E, Jul 2026
Pieter & Miriam were just wonderful! We were traveling with my 85 year old parents and my 20+ year old kids and they couldn’t have been more helpful or attentive. This is not a party cruise, but a civilized trip, no loud engines or music. Just the sails up, the wind on your face and a beautiful view of the sun setting on the horizon. With eight in our party we occupied one side of the catamaran so it felt semi-private. Excellent cruise. Highly recommended.

Sunset at seven

MelbaR_M, Jul 2026
A cruise towards sunset. The perfect setting to round out the day. The conversations, Prosecco and cheese were great. The host were very knowledable and friendly. .

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hello Melba, It was a pleasure to have you on board for a vivid sail into the sunset. Thank you very much for your kind words.

Beautiful views.

Anatoliy_L, Jul 2026
We had an amazing weather. Got nice tour of the island from the boat. Saw some of the places that we wouldn't be able to get by ourselves.

Great, small group cruise

Michael_H, Jul 2026
This is a max 16 passenger sunset cruise. Very cool and Pieter and Marion were great. Very professional and friendly staff and the fellow cruisers were so nice too.

Book this excursion now. You will not regret it!

Fatu_D, Jul 2026
Had a wonderful, relaxing time on this sunset catamaran tour. The couple who hosts is simply lovely. They give you a little history lesson of the island, point out the landscape along the way, and serve you nonstop with food and drinks. Such a great start to a vacation.

Wonderful experience. Small capacity (up to 16 passengers) makes it ideal. Intimate and not overly crowded. Very friendly hosts Nightly recommended

Complimentary drinks and snacks are offered a number of times during the trip. Very friendly and helpful couple host this trip.

Gorgeous trip

Oleksandra_K, May 2026
Very impressive view. I did beautiful shots. Miriam and Peter were very friendly and welcoming to guests! I would share my pictures but unfortunately here can not be downloaded Than you so much, Miriam and Peter!

Fantastic sunset cruise.

Michael_M, May 2026
Absolutely excellent. We paid for a taxi to get there. He took us to the wrong pick up spot. The boat picked us up in a water taxi and still got us in time.

Relaxing and Casual

Wendy_B, Apr 2026
Traffic around the pick up area is heavy, get there early and wait at the Nowhere Special bar. There are some parking spots there but not many. A dingy takes you to the catamaran. It's a husband and wife team that have been doing this for a long time. Very professional. The group was small (about 16 people) and the atmosphere was casual. Some appetizers (mini pizzas, baguette with variety of cheeses and cure meats) and for drinks (wine, prosecco, rum punch). We had a good time but missed having some music to compliment the scenery.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Wendy, thank you very much for your review. We are happy you enjoyed the experience. With regards to the music comment: not having music on board is a well thought of choice we made when starting our sailing experiences 18 years ago. This is how it is advertised in the text on Tripadvisor and Viator. We and many other guests particularly enjoy listening to the wind in the sails and water against the hull and not be confronted with a style of music one or the other may not like. Real sailing, small groups and not having music is precisely what makes us unique compared to our colleagues...and we like to be a little bit different.

Very gracious host and...

Mark_M, Apr 2026
Very gracious host and hostess. They were so kind and accommodating. It was a great ending to our day and overall a great experience.

Great time

Great experience. Captain and crew took great care of us. Rum punch and snacks were great. Do it by all means.

Cami_M, Apr 2026
Chill vibes, drinks were great. Perfect for relaxing and sightseeing with no pressure to socialize. Boat is comfortable!

All around excellent!

Carey_S, Apr 2026
Beautiful catamaran, lovely people/owners, great snacks, amazing views. I loved there was an max of 16 people onboard. Overall a really great evening- we will be repeat customers!

Friendly staff, good food and drinks. Everything was plentiful. Cloudy towards the end so not much of a sunset but still a good night.
