Albin was our captain and we really had an amazing time. We got off our ship and walked about 10 minutes to the meeting point. We went to a couple different places and snorkeled. He brought snacks and drinks. We had an awesome time and would highly recommend it. He was very helpful. Boat was very clean. When we’re back in Saint Martin, we would definitely do this again!!!

      Boat Proposal

      Alex_S, Sep 2026
      I booked this experience with intentions to propose to my girlfriend during the tour. Captain Boy could not have made this work out any better for me and my now fiancée! He let me customize our tour, pick the spot I wanted to propose at and made the both of us feel very comfortable! He did not rush anything, let me take my time proposing and took all the photos we wanted! I was allowed to bring a photographer and we took so many pictures! I was even allowed to have a bouquet of flowers delivered before my arrival to surprise my fiancée! Captain Boy played it so well and hid them in the perfect spot! The rum punch on board was also very good. I can not thank Captain Boy enough for being the perfect captain during my proposal. He’s a very funny guy, knows the island, gave us some history on the island, and very nice to talk to! Thank you again Captain Boy! When me and my fiancée come back to St Maarten, we will definitely be booking again! Also huge shout out to Albin as well!! He was the person I originally told everything and he was also very communicative, very respectful and was willing to compensate so much for me! I would give this experience another star if I could! 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a fun boat ride!

      Awesome time!!!!

      The best day ever in Sint Maarten

      BrianMichael_C, Jun 2026
      This was a great experience perfect for our family. We traveled with our grown kids and our two grandchildren. We all had a great time perfect stops to swim and relax, and a great tour of the island. Our captain was extraordinary and very accommodating.

      Effortless SXM Boat Day with Captain Albin — Smooth, Fun, and 10/10 Reliable

      mhs5488, Apr 2026
      We had an amazing half-day boat charter around SXM with Captain Albin on Suneeta! From start to finish, everything was smooth, safe, and super reliable. Albin is incredibly easy to hang out with—felt like spending the day with an old friend. He gave us great recommendations for spots to visit and even helped us arrange a trustworthy cab driver afterward, which made the whole experience stress-free. If you’re looking for a relaxed, fun, and well-organized day on the water, this is it. 10/10, highly recommend!

      Great ride to beach, plane spotting and a few beers floating in the surf.

      James_C, Apr 2026
      Our captain Albin was a great host, taking care of our needs flawlessly. We started a little rocky to due to some rain but we headed out anyway and enjoyed plenty of time at the beach and in the water with some Maho plane spotting time on the way back to the ship.

      The Absolute Highlight Of Our Trip To St. Maarten!!!

      Brooke_T, Apr 2026
      We had a great day on the Suneeta with Albin!! He was an amazing boat captain, and took us to so many beautiful beaches on the island. It was a bit windy and Albin handled everything great, we all felt safe and comfortable. We were provided with snacks, drinks, a paddle board and snorkeling gear. We went to lunch at the floating bar which was really cool and the food was delicious. The boat was very clean and comfortable for our group of 9. I highly recommend Albin, he was super knowledgeable about the island and has a great personality too! Thanks for providing my family with core memories Albin!!

      Great day at sea

      Richard_C, Mar 2026
      Boat was the perfect size for the 6 of us. Albin was so helpful when getting on and off the boat. He took us to several beaches and the area off the airport run way. Very fun trip.

      Awesome Choice!

      A great day on the water

      Patrick_W, Jan 2026
      Everything went as planned- Alvin the boat operator even came to our hotel to introduce himself the day before- he was very nice and accommodating- wasn’t hurried and let us call the shots on terms of itinerary- would definitely recommend

      Excellent Day on the water

      Julie_A, Jan 2026
      Albin took great care of our group of 8. (4 adults and 4 teens). Showed us the island with several stops. Took us to a great restaurant for lunch right on the beach. He was able to modify his timeline to get us back a little sooner so we could make our cruise boat depart time. He also picked us up right at the cruise boat.

      Great time touring St Martin and St Maarten

      Jerome_M, Dec 2025
      Great time out. Alvin is. Very knowledgeable and careful captain. Also very accommodating. Makes you feel at home. Lots of snacks, beer, water, toys, etc highly recommend! Boat fits 6-8 comfortably.

      Best excursion for cruise folks

      Kyle_N, Dec 2025
      We had so much fun! Royal Caribbean canceled our excursions, so we booked this one instead, and it was awesome. We stopped at a couple of beaches and ate at a restaurant where the guide made reservations for us. Thank you for bringing us back on time to board our cruise ship. The meetup spot is about a five-minute walk once you exit the port.
