Our experience with Captain Alan’s Boat Tour in St. Martin was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations.
Markus was an outstanding captain — knowledgeable, professional, and so much fun. He made everyone feel comfortable and ensured we had the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. His knowledge of the island, the best snorkeling spots, and hidden gems around St. Martin really made the day special. He even jumped off the top of the boat with me!
Alyna, our first mate, was equally amazing! She was attentive, friendly, and always one step ahead making sure we had everything we needed. Whether it was helping with snorkeling gear, offering refreshments, or sharing interesting facts about the area, she made the experience even more enjoyable. She also helped my two year old nephew get from the boat to the beach and back!
The boat was beautiful and well-maintained, the views were breathtaking, and the entire crew created such a fun, welcoming atmosphere. It truly felt like the highlight of our trip.
If you’re visiting St. Martin, booking with Captain Alan’s Boat Tour — and requesting Markus and Alyna — is an absolute must. We can’t recommend them enough! 🌊☀️

Great trip to explore the best snorkeling spots on the island. The crew was also very conscious of our schedule and made sure we returned to the marina on time.

Adam and Alayna were fantastic! Excellent customer, driving, and entertainment. We met a few new people and enjoyed some beverages on Pinnel Island. I had the best day ever boating and snorkeling!
Travis_M, Sep 2026
Adam and Alyna were great guides! Plenty of drinks and had a great time snorkeling and riding on the boat. Our group was great! Would recommend!
Javier_G, Aug 2026
We had a great time! The family agreed that this was the highlight of our 10-day stay in St Martin, and I am glad we got to do it. Miles was great, and I would do this excursion again in a heartbeat.
Tina_W, Aug 2026
It was a great experience and well worth every penny! The captain and co-captain were great guides and made it fun! Definitely recommend this excursion...great for kids and all ages!
Andrea_B, Aug 2026
We had an amazing snorkeling experience and it was easily the best tour we did during our 10 days in St. Martin! All 10 of us, from teenagers to grandparents, had the best time. We swam with giant sea turtles, saw beautiful coral and colorful fish, fed iguanas and really enjoyed Pinel Island.
Our captain, Adam, was amazing, and Alina took such great care of our group. It was truly an incredible experience from start to finish, and we would absolutely recommend this tour to everyone! We are so grateful for the memories!
Jerrine_M, Aug 2026
Fantastic experience. Timely, organized, learned a ton, great company, safe, and fun. Would recommend again. An experience that was catered to all types of swimmers from non swimmers to skilled swimmers. Would do again!

It was exactly as advertised. Captain Alan and his staff were very friendly, professional and kind. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
Harland_H, Jul 2026
Awesome trip. Seas a little rough, but Miles got us through it to see the turtles and lots of fish while snorkeling. My son loved playing around with Adam, the first mate! Great entertainment, and I would highly recommend this tour.
Carrie_B, Jul 2026
My husband and I went out with Marcus and Alena yesterday and WOW - what a trip! We swam with sea turtles, saw beautiful coral reefs, and hung out on the boat with an awesome lunch and refreshments. I feel that I paid too little for what this trip was worth. Don’t miss a chance to go out on the water with these guys! I would do it again 100%!
Leslie_S, Jul 2026
This was the best tour! Captain Omar and first mate Alaina made this trip fantastic! The 4 hours were planned perfectly and the food and drink were fabulous! Do not miss taking this tour!
Kelley_S, Jul 2026

Shanely_M, Jul 2026

"We had an absolutely amazing time on Captain Alan's 4-hour, 3-island tour!
As a non-swimmer, I was nervous, but First Mate Alina and Captain Omar went above and beyond to help me so I could fully participate and be part of the fun.Both Captain Omar and Alina also took incredible care of my 7-year-old daughter, who wanted to be part of everything. It was a windy day at sea with lots of big waves. My daughter wanted to sit at the front of the boat to experience them, and they both ensured she stayed safe.
Captain Omar is incredible, clearly knows exactly what he is doing, and made us feel safe the entire time. First Mate Alina is awesome and patient, and she really took good care of us especially my daughter. Thank you both for an enjoyable day! It was the best activity we did on our vacation in Saint Martin/Sint Maarten. We would definitely do this tour again!"

Miles and Adam took great care of my 9-year-old and me. We had fun going to different islands and snorkeling. We had a safety briefing at first, which I appreciated as a parent. Lunch filled us perfectly, and there was a great vibe on board. We will return, and I do recommend Captain Alan's.
Faylynn_P, Jun 2026
The whole experience was worth every penny. The host were great and patient. Sit on the front of the boat for a full experience. Its rocky and you’ll get soaked but its worth it. They served us sandwiches with apple. They have beverages. Both hosts Marcus and they lady (I forgot her name) are very professional and fun! This is their domain. Lol I would book with them again! They love what they do and they love water. This was the best thing ever!
Krista_G, Jun 2026
We had a fantastic snorkeling adventure with Omar and Rikea who took great care of us. Top notch boat, snorkeling equipment, drinks and snacks. We enjoyed the whole trip enormously and we highly recommend it.
Amber_W, Jun 2026
1000/10 experience if you’re in Sint Maarten 🇸🇽! I traveled with my husband, kids , and my parents and we all had a blast on this snorkeling tour! Captain Myles and Captain Adam were amazing host . They were personable , friendly and gave us the best snorkeling experience, being able to see all the beautiful sea life was just perfect! We got some great up close encounters with the sea turtles and Tintamarre island is a true beauty! The beach and water is such an amazing sight. We were truly able to enjoy each stop! We didn’t feel rushed or hurried and got to fully enjoy the day! An extra plus for the sandwiches on board they were a great tasty lunch after some time in the water. I would 100% do this all over again! Great for all ages especially if you’re going on a family trip! My son is 6 and he hasn’t stopped talking about it.
Ariana_V, Jun 2026
We went with Omar and Alena, they were great, fun, and kept us safe the whole time. Would definitely go again and recommend!
Yvette_J, Jun 2026
Awesome experience! Did this tour as a cruise excursion and the family agreed this tour was one of the highlights of our vacation. The transportation was easy to find and it was all very well organized. My son said the sandwiches were one the best things he ate during our whole trip. They were very well prepared and exceptionally welcoming. Highly recommend and we would totally book again if we returned.

Crew were amazing and attentive. The 4h excursion gave us a lot of time to do the itinerary. Go to their website for more excursions not listed on viator
Jonathon_H, May 2026
This crew is the BEST and the most fun! The snorkeling sites were amazing, and they helped locate sea turtles which we were able to swim with. That part alone made it an unforgettable experience, but paired with the crew's great sense of humor and energy, the entire trip was amazing.
Moya_T, May 2026
Omar and Adam were the absolute best crew ever. We had a great time and despite some crazy waves at the beginning and end it was a terrific time. They sure know how to handle a boat and please every guest! Terrific day.
Tammy_B, May 2026
Captain Marcus was amazing and made the excursion absolutely wonderful and fun. This is a must do. There were 6 in our group and we highly recommend and would go on this again if we come back.
Andrew_C, May 2026
Awesome time. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Not only was the snorkeling great, but also the crew was fun, professional, and created a relaxing and safe environment.
Doug_B, May 2026
The crew, besides being very friendly, were professional in their handling of a situation that arose when one of the passengers developed a bad case of motion sickness. They arranged a cab to meet the boat at a public beach to take the passenger back to her hotel.
Betty_P, May 2026
We had Captain Omar on Friday, May 1st who was fabulous! He was an excellent driver and was very knowledgeable about the island. He made the experience fun and was very attentive to everyone.
Megan_S, May 2026
Captain Omar was the perfect captain! He was experienced, had a great personality and was a lot of fun! We saw green sea turtles, reef fish and stingrays!
Jennifer_V, May 2026
This was a fabulous experience! My daughter and I went. There were eight other people on the boat. It was us and two crew Adam and his sister who I think was Elaine but I’m not sure I’m getting her name right. Swimming with the turtles was definitely the best part we saw at least eight turtles probably closer to 15 but sometimes we weren’t sure if they were the same one over again. It’s amazing. The lunch sandwiches were nice and fresh and the hospitality was great. There were plenty of beverages on board for everyone. If we come back to the island, we would definitely do the same tour again.
