We loved the snorkeling stops. Lots of beautiful fish, and a sunken submarine and helicopter. It was a fun trip. The captain and crew were very helpful. Buffet lunch and lots of rum punch. They provided everything for a great way to celebrate my partner's birthday.

Our captain and crew on the Tropical Time catamaran were outstanding. Our captain was filling in for the usual captain but knew all the perfect places to swim, snorkel and just relax and enjoy the beautiful water and beaches. His apprentice, Hensley served us some delicious rum punch, snacks then a perfect bar-b-que lunch. We never felt rushed just kicking back to great music and enjoying the Caribbean. First mate, Fritz shared local information and helped us in out of the water. What a highlight of our cruise this day was. The pick up point was at Bobby’s marina. We took a taxi over but took the shuttle back to Carnival’s port. We would definitely recommend the $5 shuttle.

Lovely day sailing, little snorkeling

Ellie_B, Apr 2026
This was a lovely afternoon! Captain Tim, Alessandro and Eddy were wonderful crew members and I highly recommend them. The boat was great and the food was pretty good too. I took one star off because there was almost no snorkeling - one out of three stops had it and there weren’t even a lot of fish (although there were cool sunken objects, like a submarine and helicopter). If you’re looking mainly for a nice day on a boat and some time in the water at pretty beaches, this is for you. If you’re looking for more snorkeling, it might not be the tour for you. Also, just so other people know, they don’t have flippers for children.

Fun Day on the water.

Christy_J, Apr 2026
It was a fun time. The snorkeling wasn't great. But had alot of fun. The crew was great. Kept the drinks flowing. Lunch was included and really good. . Visited a couple beaches. Enjoyable day.

Bring coral reef friendly sunblock please. Towels not provided but food, snacks and drinks are plentiful. Incredible way to experience St Martin's

Make sure to bring plenty...

kimberly_s, Mar 2026
Make sure to bring plenty of sunscreen!! The snorkeling was so much fun. Enjoyed watching the planes come in. Tim the captain gave a us a great ride. “0007” was so knowledgeable about the island and made the afternoon great for the kids.

Super Fun!!

Kathy_H, Mar 2026
I would highly recommend this catamaran tour. We had a blast thanks to the crew. Food and drinks were great and the crew was so attentive.

Boat day 3/26

Jolaade_A, Mar 2026
Tbh, i feel like the staff were nicer and a little more accommodating to the white people on the boat vs 4 of us black women. I literally got fussed at for putting on sunscreen in front of other guests. I get it, sunscreen can get in your eyes, face etc when someone else is putting it on. However, the lady on the boat was very rude when addressing me. And then she sad rude about us picking up cups as if other people didn’t leave cups laying around too. Oh and on this boat, they’ll all Caribbean and like white tunes. I struggled getting the dj to be versatile.

Fun boat

The crew was absolutely amazing! They were so attentive and nice. This was billed as a snorkel trip, but we only actually snorkeled in one spot and it wasn’t too clear. It was super windy though, so that may have been the reason. We did go to two beautiful beaches and the crew used a little boat to make sure everyone was safe getting back and forth from the bigger boat. Our boat was a definitely a party boat with lots of college kids. Drinks were definitely flowing. The food was really good.

Fun boat tour of the island

Catamaran ride

IRENE_V, Mar 2026
It was fun, the crew were amazing, professional, extremely helpful and experienced. There were a few passengers that got sea sick and they were helpful, and solicitous. The food was also very good.

Fun tour of St Marten.

Mary_C, Mar 2026
Great catamaran experience with my family of 11 people. Charlie was a super host and was very knowledgeable. Captain Tim sailed us safely around the island. Talia served the delicious lunch food to us, including his own Caesar salad. Fun day for all onboard. Airport viewing was very interesting too.

Outstanding day on the water

Thomas_P, Mar 2026
The tour guide were amazing and a joy to be with. They took us to some 3 great places to swim and snorkel and provided us with a great lunch and drinks

Too Rhum Punch - Worth it!!

Tricia_D, Feb 2026
Captain Josh and the crew were awesome! Tad took care of us with the food and drink - and the whole crew was interactive, answered all of our questions, and made the day so great. Our group of 6 adults only booked 1 day in advance - so happy that we were able to get on the Cat. It was a great time! We had some choppy ocean issues, so they rerouted us to a different spot - which was absolutely beautiful. We were happy that we had lots of snorkeling time and hang out in the ocean time. The food for lunch was delicious.

Fun!!! Great exerience!

Shannon_L, Feb 2026
A beaufiful day! The Captain and crew were amazing and very nice, fun. The food was really good, and plenty of drink options.

Amazing excursion experience

Jimmy_M, Feb 2026
We had a great time. The captain and crew were friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this excursion when you are in St Martin. We went with 5 kids and 4 adults. This was recommended in one of the cruise groups and I’m really glad we booked it! If we are ever in St Martin again we will definitely do it again!

A memory to last forever!

Kimberly_A, Feb 2026
We had such a great time. It was truly a fantastic day! We had one family member get sea sick but the crew handled it quickly and took great care of him. There is the opportunity to do as you choose. If you want to just relax, you did. If you wanted to be in the water, you did!! Service by the crew was fantastic! Safety was THE priority. Food and drinks were great. If you went hungry or thirsty it was not because of them!!! Book the trip! Make the memories and be in the moment!!!

Amazing day on the water

George_K, Jan 2026

Great catamaran tour!

Our day trip was a delightful experience with a great crew, good food, and beautiful island stops along the way. We highly recommend Eagle Tours and the crew of our Too Rhum Punch catamaran.

Fantastic Catamaran Tour

Donna_H, Jan 2026
We thoroughly enjoyed our catamaran sail around the island on the Seaduction with Captain JP and first mate James. They were SO much fun and too great care of us. The lunch was delicious and plentiful. We stopped at 3 snorkeling/swimming spots and all were beautiful. I would highly recommend them!

Fun day the captain and...

Family Fun with experienced crew on a magnificent catamaran.

Kenneth_S, Jan 2026
It was so fun! We had a very organized and friendly crew. Everyone was helpful and explained things carefully to make it a very enjoyable experience. We listened to fun music and there was plenty of food.

Not Their day.

Shawn_M, Jan 2026
Wasn’t their day. The “sailing” was not sailing, it was the motors with the main. 1 engine went out and we didn’t get to do the last snorkel or see the beaches like we were supposed to. Food was ok for a cat trip, but they forgot the waters. No live reefs, just gray with a few fish on the 1 snorkel we did.

Catamaran day was outstanding !!!
