Tango Dinner cruise, did an amazing job. Staff-friendly, courteous, on top of things. We were never without refreshments. Dinner-very appetizing and plentiful. Views-magnificent. Cruise worth every penny although very affordable. I highly recommend this experience.

Make your way to Pelican Marina to board the 'Tango', a 63-foot (19-meter) sailing catamaran.

Climb on board and find a spot to sit down and relax. Get to know your friendly crew and fellow passengers as you sidle up to the open bar and munch on snacks. Feel the Caribbean breeze in your hair and the late-afternoon sun on your skin while the impressive boat sets sail up the coast of St Maarten. Watch the famous Caribbean sunset paint the sky a dozen colors. As the sun sinks toward the horizon, be sure to have your camera on hand for fantastic photo ops.

Sail back to Simpson Bay and, when the 'Tango' drops anchor in beautiful surroundings, dine on a buffet-style Creole dinner. Choose from baby back ribs, Creole chicken, salads, bread, beans, plantains and rice. After dinner, dig in to dessert and partake in some of the local rum. Dance the remainder of the evening away to Caribbean beats.

The 3-hour sunset cruise concludes when the boat docks at Pelican Marina.

Eric_G, Feb 2026

Highly Recommend this!!! This experience was the best service Ive ever received on a boat tour on any island. I mean it. The staff was so friendly, making drinks, bringing around food, constantly asking what we need. The food was fantastic. Chicken, beef tips, scalloped potatoes, salad, rice. The apps were great too. The night was beautiful and we met some really nice people on it. MUST BOOK WHEN HERE!!

Great sunset dinner cruise

Darren_B, Dec 2025

This is what you want from a dinner cruise. It was punctual and organized. The staff was exceptional. Dinner was delicious. Fresh salad, rice, chicken legs, creole flavored beef, and perfectly cooked broccoli. Drinks were plentiful. Bathrooms down below were very clean. If I have any one suggestion, it would be to start 30 minutes earlier. Sunset was 545pm. The boat left at 530pm.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hello Darren, We’re glad to hear the dinner cruise met your expectations and that you enjoyed the food, drinks, and service. Thank you for sharing your suggestion. We value guest input as we continuously enhance the experience.

For a 3 hour sail, I was...

Damon_G, Dec 2025

For a 3 hour sail, I was expecting to be further out into the ocean instead of sailing along the shore. Very difficult to find. There were no signs to the marina, the dock, nor signs for the Tango itself. You cannot avoid asking people to find the meeting point. Staff was attentive and friendly but lacking that personal touch. I felt a bit processed. It appeared there was plenty of staff for 46 passengers. The boat didn't feel crowded. Food was okay and there was plenty of it.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hi Damon, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that you found our staff friendly and attentive, that the boat felt comfortable, and that you enjoyed the dinner options on board. We’re sorry to hear that the meeting point was difficult to locate and that the cruise route didn’t fully meet your expectations. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. While we haven’t received similar complaints about the dinner cruise, your comments are valuable, and we will review our pre-arrival instructions to ensure the experience is clearer and easier for our guests. We also regret that the experience felt less personal than you had hoped. Providing a warm and memorable atmosphere is important to us and we strive for this for every excursion we provide.

Mark_P, Oct 2025

We've been on many dinner cruises and this one by far checks all of the boxes. Nice clean catamaran, attentive crew, tasty food and all you can drink bevies. The entire experience was superb and I cannot think of where it was lacking anything. Anyone visiting Sint Maarten in my humble opinion should experience this for themselves.
