This fun catamaran cruise from Simpson Bay makes it simple, with a comfortable vessel and planned stops built into the day. Relax on cushioned seating as you journey along the water, then dive in when the catamaran anchors to enjoy snorkeling or stand-up paddleboarding.

This was definitely hands down one of our favorite family vacation excursions I have ever down. There are 4 of us, ages 16-47. And everyone had a blast. The crew were fantastic, energetic, and very accommodating. We just loved it. Would highly recommend it to anyone going to St. Marteen. And I would definitely do it again. Go England! 😉

The positive reviews I read prior to booking were 100% accurate. The crew was amazing - it was obvious that they love what they do and want to make sure all guests have the best possible time. They were always around to offer drinks, lunch (which was freshly cooked on the boat and amazing!), and with all the gear and knowledge to snorkel, jump of the diving platform, and swing from the tarzan swing. Everything was perfectly timed so there was no worry about running late at the end of the day. I would 100% recommend booking this excursion!

This was by far our favorite excursion on our weekly cruise. Easy to book (a little challenging to find and farther of a walk than we thought) and well worth any effort on our end. The crew: David, Mel, and Alyssa took such good care of us. The Tarzan swing was a hit with our boys. Lunch was delicious, and drinks were constantly flowing. Thank you for an amazing time. Highly recommend!

Beautiful boat ride with a fun crew and swimming. For the adventurous traveler, swinging off catamaran via a Tarzan swing!! Mel, Ashe and David were awesome!

Great day and great crew.
Once you book the trip Random Winds will contact you. Only read their contacts because Viator will confuse you.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Haha thanks for that - always hard to be the little guy but we persevere!

Book this tour immediately, you won’t regret it!!! The crew is amazing, the catamaran is amazing, lunch was fantastic, and it was the absolute best day on the water! Our family of four with two teenage daughters haven’t stopped talking about it. I can’t say enough. Easy walk from cruise port to the marina. The snorkeling was fun and the Tarzan swing was a big hit with all. Book this excursion.
Sean_J, Jun 2026
The crew was so accommodating and friendly! All expectations were met or exceeded during this outing. I absolutely recommend using this company if you want a relaxing pampered experience.
Caitlin_B, Jun 2026
We had the best time! Captain David, ash and Mel were incredible hosts. The lunch was great, and they made sure to keep you stocked with drinks! Highly recommend booking with them.

Great hospitality, but unfortunately didn’t got the chance to enjoy the full excursion due to my bf getting seasick so we had to leave the party a bit early and they still refunded us the full amount which was really nice and understanding of them. its great to know there’s still some good hearted and honest business and got to experience that first hand. We will definitely book with them again if I come back

We had a fantastic experience on this excursion! The crew was absolutely amazing—Captain Skully, Anna, and Mel went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time while keeping us safe and comfortable throughout the trip. One of the highlights was getting to meet some sweet rescue pups! Our entire group had an incredible day, and we would definitely book with them again on our next visit. Highly recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a fun and memorable adventure. Book the trip—you won't regret it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Loved Anna and Scottie (and Quennie)! We had an amazing time. Anna was an excellent engaging host, food was great and the temerity beautiful. We did a couple other excursions, but Random Wind was our favorite.
Kenneth_C, May 2026
It was a blast! For all ages (not children), great snorkeling, great food and drinks! Anna, Scott and Mel made everything enjoyable and safe, and were super kind!
Even at my age I did the Tarzan swing off the boat into the turquoise water!
Jacob_W, May 2026
Great day! Non-stop fun all day very professional and well run. You'll never find you're drink glass empty.
Amy_W, May 2026
This was a day on a boat. It was so fun, great way to see the island and experience the water. The crew was great. I unfortunately was sea sick, but they were great at helping me find relief. Even offered to take me back to land if needed.
Michele_G, May 2026
Mel, Ash and Captain Scott took great care of us out on the water! The trip was well organized, lunch was fantastic and nobody went thirsty. Highly recommend!
Timothy_S, May 2026
The crew was fantastic, the lunch was grilled on the boat and delicious, and the drinks were free flowing. I don’t know if it is the time of year or not, but the snorkeling itself was dismal. However, swinging from the swing and SUP were great activities.
Deanna_W, May 2026
The group was large and we were nervous about that, we had no reason to be! We had so much fun! The crew knew how to bring everyone out of there introverted shells and we as a group had a blast! Lunch was fantastic, and of course the snorkeling was too!
Stacy_H, May 2026
We, had absolutely the best time. There was 6 of us, and we all feel the same. The Captain and the crew, were awesome. The, food was delicious. Plenty, of drinks to choose from.

Thank you!!

5 hours, good size catamaran. Made 2 stops for snorkeling/water activities. Crew was great. Loved “queenie” their captain dog. Plenty of space to relax alone, not crowded. Offered a good lunch with fresh grilled chicken, assortment of drinks. Would definitely sail with them again
Mark_L, Apr 2026
This was a fun experience The crew was very good and the itinerary was decent but for the price it could have been better. I took a similar experience with another provider that was 3 hours longer, had better food, and didn't involve delays waiting for everybody to get on the boat. While this one focused a little more on partying having a full bar The other one had plenty to drink and plenty more island experiences. The other one also had a full meal at a restaurant with multiple choices versus just one choice and one tiny skewer of chicken. I don't regret going on this tour but the value proposition is not the same. The crew was really good I really enjoyed them and I don't think it's their fault that the experience falls a little flat.
Response from Host, May 2026
Sorry to hear it wasn’t what you expected. We had issues with new crew making the food - as I mentioned at the beginning of the tour - our normal crew was grieving. We went around with the chicken that fell off of the skewers and asked everyone if they wanted more - guess that still wasn’t enough? Please message me to discuss further: info@randomwind.com
Thanks, Diane

We came to St. Maarten on a cruise and decided to take a chance and book an excursion that was not related to our cruise line. This was the best decision we could have made! The crew was really personable and knowledgeable. They handed out special drinks as soon as we were underway, the took us to two different locations to snorkel and both locations had amazing things to see. The Tarzan swing was an awesome bonus for my little gymnast boys. And lunch was delicious. I would do this trip over and over again.
Krista_J, Apr 2026
We had amazing day on the boat! The crew was so friendly. The food and drinks were great and we went to the best snorkel spots. 100% recommend!
John_K, Apr 2026
This was easily the best island excursion we’ve ever experienced. From start to finish, it was an incredible day. Diane and her team deliver exceptional service and truly know how to create a memorable experience. Everything was top notch, from the tour itself to the food, the laughs and the bottomless drinks. If/when we return to St. Maarten, this will be at the top of our list to do again. It’s that good.
Terry_Z, Apr 2026
Add an amazing time on the catamaran. I really enjoyed the second stop, which had a sunken submarine and helicopter.
Amy_S, Apr 2026
Very fun! Stopped at 2 places to swim, snorkel and use the Tarzan swing! Maybe 25 people on board. Food was terrific and unlimited drinks
