A great day out with a great crew. 9 hours disappeared in a flash. Super food too! Sea was a little choppy but Ben navigated it superbly and found us a calm space for lunch. Georgia was an amazing horsey too! Also, what a fantastic boat!

Felt like spending the day on the water with friends. From the moment we stepped on board, everything was so personalized, intimate, and incredibly relaxing. The captain was beyond hospitable and thoughtful, adjusting the plan because of choppy water and taking us to the best, most comfortable spots for snorkeling. The skipper was so sweet, and the whole experience just felt easy, like hanging out with friends who had everything handled. The food was amazing, fresh, organic, and beautifully prepared. He even made his own salad dressing. We had fresh fruit and little shots throughout the day, which made it feel extra special. Then the locations, absolutely stunning. We visited some of the most beautiful beaches, and at times it felt like we had our own private beach. The snorkeling was a highlight, swimming out to see the underwater statues and feeding fish right from our hands. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and added to how special the day was. Hands down the best way to end our trip in St. Martin. Worth every penny and would absolutely book again.

A Perfect Day in St. Maarten!

ryanandaluz, Mar 2026

We had a fantastic day sailing around St. Maarten. The food was delicious and made right there on the boat for us to enjoy! The small group size (capped at 15 people) made for a very relaxing vibe. We can't wait to book this tour again next year!

Fabulous day touring St Martin!!

John_T, Mar 2026

We had the most incredible day aboard the Flagship II catamaran — truly one of the highlights of our trip. From start to finish, everything was seamless and so thoughtfully done. We were treated to a delicious breakfast, snacks throughout the day, and a wonderful lunch, all while enjoying the stunning surroundings. Captain George and his first mate were absolutely exceptional — warm, attentive, and made the entire experience feel both relaxed and special. The group on board was fantastic, which only added to the fun and easygoing atmosphere. It’s hard to imagine a better way to spend a day on the water. An unforgettable experience that we would recommend without hesitation — we will absolutely be back.

If You Do One Thing in St. Martin, Do This

Rebecca_A, Mar 2026

Great crew and great day!

Gregory_W, Mar 2026

The crew, Benjamin and Aloise, are excellent! Food was delicious and healthy - fresh fruit, pastries, snacks, curry chicken for lunch and dessert after the last snorkeling stop. The daysail is limited to 15 passengers but there were only 9 on our sail. Plenty of room for 6 more. I’ve been on 5 or 6 daysails and this was easily the most luxurious. Would book with them again without hesitation.

Fantastic day out!

Charles_D, Mar 2026

Wonderful Way to See St Maarten

Rebecca_R, Feb 2026

This experience exceeded our expectations! From the get go, Georgia and Benjamin were professional, friendly and accommodating and made sure that the day went smoothly and was enjoyable for all. The food was wonderful, and especially impressive given that we were on a boat. Benjamin was knowledgeable and brought us to all of the best spots at times when they were not busy. Drinks were flowing and Georgia made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend!

Very good experience,...

Amanda_L, Feb 2026

Book it. Best day trip. Food and service top knotch!

Natalie_C, Feb 2026

Book it! Amazing day and service and food was excellent. We highly recommend! Thank you Georgia. We will be back.

Great trip with a...

Adrienne_F, Jan 2026

Great trip with a fabulous Captain and crew. The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. We enjoyed the three lovely beaches and our time onboard the catamaran.

Yes yes YES!

Lauren_S, Jan 2026

This day was so nice, the crew were amazing and took very good care of us. We had 10 people in our group and there was plenty of room on the boat for everyone. We also had some people with gluten allergies and they were able to eat 90% of the food!! There was a good selection of drinks and we were definitely well fed. It even rained on us for a little bit but everyone still had a good time. On our last stop, the captain when to snorkel with a few people who wanted to feed the fish by hand and showed us how to do it and it was a core memory by the end of the day. I would recommend this to any group looking to spend time out on the water!!

Trip cancelled last minute by boat captain and no one from Viator had replied

Yakinton_S, Dec 2025

This trip was cancelled as we were waiting to be picked up from the meeting point. We woke up early and drove almost an hour. When we got there the captain told us the trip was cancelled due to weather and that Viator would reimburse us. I sent a message and no one replied. I am still waiting to get reimbursed.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

I'm sorry that the charter didn't work out as planned and that there was a delay in dealing with this issue. I was not working on Christmas day, and that evening I had a family emergency that has occupied my time until today. I have contacted Viator, and you will receive a full refund from them. As for the charter, unfortunately, as St Martin is a small island with microclimates, it is often hard to get an accurate weather prediction. But we would rather take a loss on a charter than have guests stuck on the boat on a miserable day. Once again, we are sorry for the delay and any inconvenience this may have caused you and your family

Relaxing sailing trip

Craig_O, Dec 2025

We were scheduled to sail on a Saturday but it was canceled due to a charging battery that overheated. So we were able to reschedule to Monday on a C/O trip with a smaller group and had a fantastic day with Alois and Benjamin. The other guests were also alot of fun and we made some new friends. The weather was perfect and saw a turtle. Stops at Long Bay, Happy Bay, and Tintamarre. We then sailed the rest of the way around the island. Hopefully we can do it again next year.

5 Stars isn’t Enough!

Teressa_B, Nov 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Luxury Catamaran Experience! We went on a luxury catamaran cruise in St. Martin yesterday, and it was beyond amazing! Captain Benjamin and Georgia were the perfect hosts—fun, welcoming, and full of great energy. They made the entire day unforgettable. We snorkeled in crystal-clear water, fed the fish right from our hands, and visited some of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Every stop felt like a postcard. The food alone was worth the trip! They served us a delicious breakfast, a snack, and then a full four-course lunch that felt like something from a high-end restaurant—on a boat! Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and so generous. If you want a relaxing, fun, and truly memorable day on the water, this catamaran cruise is a MUST. Captain Benjamin and Georgia made it an experience we’ll never forget. Highly recommend! 🌴⛵️🐠

Amazing

Jeff_W, Jul 2025

This catamaran excursion was the highlight of our trip! From the moment we stepped on board, the crew was absolutely spectacular. They were not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly fun, making sure everyone was having a fantastic time. The food and drinks were top-notch. We enjoyed a delicious meal and the drinks flowed freely, keeping everyone in a festive mood. The snorkeling spots they took us to were breathtaking, with crystal-clear water and an abundance of marine life. It was an unforgettable experience and I can't recommend this excursion enough!

Bravo

Karen_B, Jul 2025

Unforgettable Catamaran Day – Absolute Perfection! From start to finish, this catamaran trip was nothing short of amazing. The crew was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made everyone feel right at home. The boat was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with plenty of comfortable seating and room to relax or mingle. We visited the most beautiful spots—crystal-clear waters, stunning views, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The food and drinks were delicious—fresh, plentiful, and served with a smile. There was something truly special about enjoying a cocktail with the sea breeze and sunshine all around!

Perfect Day on the Water

Jared_Y, May 2025

We a family of 5 with 3 kids age 6 to 11. Could not have asked for a more perfect day on the water making memories and enjoying a new perspective on this beautiful island. Every one of our kids said they loved every minute and even said they enjoyed the day even more than a day at Disney World! Georgia and Benjamin were exquisite hosts and made everything perfectly comfortable and fun for us. Food and service was top notch. Worth every penny you will spend. Lastly, we went as a family but would have enjoyed this just as much with just me and my wife and other adults. Five stars!

Super fun trip for parents and kids…totally recommend it!

Mark_H, Apr 2025

So much fun, the crew was amazing, the food was fantastic and everyone in our group had a blast. There were 10 of us total, 4 adults and 6 kids (ages 11, 10, 8, 6, 5 and 3)…there was also another family and a bachelorette party on our trip (17 in all). The boat had plenty of room, the water was a bit choppy but the kids absolutely loved the ride and the bouncing up and down in the waves. We had some great snorkeling capped off with barracuda sightings and lots of fun jumping off the boat. The snacks were great, lunch was even better, i honestly can’t say enough about how great the crew was. After it was over we all wished we could do it again and i’m sure the next time we visit St Maarten we will.

A little more money but worth every penny

David_S, Mar 2025

A little more money but absolutely worth it. There are many charters that will take you around the island. I’ve been on several of them over the years, but this one was the best. We had the pleasure of being on a cruise with just six passengers which was very comfortable. Even with twice as many, it would have been nice to the captain and his mate were wonderful. The food was as good as any charter on St. Martin. Book with confidence.

Amazing day on the water,Highly recommend

jermaine_c, Mar 2025

We had a great day on the water celebrating my wife birthday.The captain’s Benjamin and Alouis were super friendly and informative they made it a remarkable experience the food they provided breakfast appetizer and lunch was amazing,drink was great.would highly recommend.

Catamaran day in the sun

jeff_k, Jan 2025

Very nice relaxing day at sea. Food and service were great. Nice stops and a wonderful sail to start the day. Loved the full day activity

Had the most lovely day...

Elise_R, Jan 2025

Had the most lovely day on this catamaran day trip! Boat was in excellent condition, and we got lucky that the group was so small it was basically a private charter! Food was delicious and Eloise and Ben did an amazing job hosting us on this tour. Highly recommend!

The boat was great and...

Keri_T, Jan 2025

The boat was great and the steward and captain were awesome! We were a group of 11 and they made sure to be very informative and took great care of us making sure we didn’t ever need anything all while prepping, cooking, cleaning, and driving a boat. Unfortunately we didn’t have the best weather and the water was pretty rough so we couldn’t snorkel or go to the places we originally planned. The captain suggested a different plan and it was great! We had a boat ride around the island with beautiful views and he was able to anchor in some great spots so that we can swim and eat. The food was amazing! Breakfast was pastries and fresh fruit. Snack was a whole other meal with lots of options…charcuterie, dips, veggies. Lunch was a chicken and vegetables dish with rice which was also delicious. All the food was fresh, prepared and cooked on site. Dessert was so delicious! No one walked away hungry. The open bar was great with many options. Despite being short staffed and rough waters, they did an amazing job! We will definitely be booking this again!!

Sweet semi-private gourmet Catamaran Cruise

Eileen_H, Jan 2025

Russell (father): Went on this excursion with my wife and grown daughter on this very well laid out Leopard 48’ Catamaran with our 2 Captains: Benjamin and Aloise. Both gentlemen were outstanding guides as well as gourmet food lovers and chefs. All food was of very fresh ingredients and finished in high caliber fashion. Be it the fresh guacamole and chips to the cheese and crackers, to the chicken curry, and deserts. Great selection of beers, wines, local made rums…trust me you will not be thirsty or hungry on this excursion! The snorkeling equipment was of good quality, the stop-overs were excellent snorkeling spots, as was making good friends with the 2 other couples we met on this trip. One thing of a cautionary note was when I snorkeled under the rectangular rope around the underwater statues at Little Bay; it touched my bare back for about all of 2 seconds only to start stinging immediately thereafter. Thought that was strange as I may have scratched it on some micro barnacles or something, but that night it welted up and itched and burned like a man-o-war sting! After some research it seemed to have been maybe microscopic fire sponge or microscopic fire coral polyps which you can’t really see, 4 days later it’s still itching so just be careful going under/touching any ropes or mooring lines! Other than that incident which was my fault it was a most perfect day to spend on the water and would return! Highly, Highly recommended!!

Best day!

Susan_V, Jan 2025

From start to finish, this excursion was amazing. Great hosts (captains and hostess), great itinerary, best day of our vacation!

Awesome

Denise_J, Dec 2024

The food, the staff, the catamaran and the excursions were all absolutely top-notch. Absolutely no complaints. My husband and I were with my son and his girlfriend, and we all had an absolutely wonderful time. Hats off to the staff, captain and cook! it was my husband‘s birthday Christmas Day and they were sweet and put a candle on his slice of delicious chocolate torte, and we all sang happy birthday. We will definitely do it again when we come back.

Very attentive food was...

mahum_c, Dec 2024

Very attentive food was amazing. 10/10 must book Asap! Captiin and staff are equipped to deal with all situations.

Sailing st Maarten/st Martin

Jennifer_H, Dec 2024

Great trip. Even though the trip was rough, the staff was fantastic. A little disappointed that the captain smoked the whole time. Didn’t bother us when we were at the front of the boat but was a little annoying when we had to sit in the back when the water was rough. Highly recommend. Again staff was super friendly and captain was great at keeping us safe in rough waters.

Best day of the trip

Andrew_H, Dec 2024

Aloise and Soelle made the trip wonderful. The food was incredible, the captain was super friendly and charming. We meant to book a private charter so we were a little surprised to have another couple on board with us, I wish the ad was a little more clear about that. Otherwise it was a perfect experience.

Captivating time on the Flagship II

Leslie_D, Nov 2024

Allouis and Soelle aboard the Flagship II were wonderful - everything you could possibly need was met and exceeded. Allouis and Soelle take exceptional care of their guests. The cruise around St. Martin was breathtaking. Their hospitality made it special.
