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.

Incredibly fun trip! Last minute booking and couldn’t be happier we went. The crew was incredible and couldn’t ask for anything more.

This was the second time we did this tour (last was 4 years ago) and it’s great. The crew was one of the best we ever had across the years; Captain Lee, Fritz, and Celina. I can’t tell you enough how kind they were, going above and beyond in every way. It will really stick with me because there aren’t many people like them.
As for what you do and see, you stop in 3 places, but there isn’t much to see for snorkeling in a natural way. One stop has man made items, sunken, that you can view. But the experience is worth it, with a gorgeous beach in 2 places (they drove people to and from in a tiny boat), laying on noodles, delicious food, endless drinks, and fun. I just would beware it is very rocky usually and you easily can get seasick.

The whole staff were awesome. Aiden, 0007 and the other assistant. They made us feel comfortable and safe. We had so much fun cruising on the catamaran. Food was soooo good. Drinks were plentiful. They made it a point not to serve alcohol until after we snorkeled. They informed us of the importance of safety while swimming. Overall this experience was so much fun. They even got us back on time to board our ship. Thank you so much! I would definitely will do this experience again.

This trip was so much fun and very family friendly! We had a party of 8 ranging from 17yrs old to 78yrd old everyone enjoyed! We snorkeled at multiple spots, lunch was great and the boat attendants and captain were outstanding went out of their way to make sure everyone was safe and having a great time! We would definitely use this company again and definitely take this catermeran tour again and we were back in plenty of time to make our ship which was the royal caribbean allure. Make sure when booking to tell them you are on a cruise so they can make sure to have you back in time.

Captain J.B. and his crew, Simir and Immanuel were the best. They engaged with everyone and were especially good with all the kids. Our 13 yo grandson got to drive the raft boat and had a seagull take a piece of cheese out of his hand! Lunch and snacks were provided and delicious! It was the highlight of our entire week. Highly recommend!!

If you are easily seasick, I strongly recommend either finding another activity or using a scopolamine patch. We had one person in our group who was very seasick during the voyage. The crew took excellent care of him and even took a small water boat to the shore to allow him some time on land to recover. The crew was excellent, despite being shortstaffed. The snorkeling was nice. We saw tarpon, stingrays, clownfish, and many smaller fish.

The stops were amazing. Staff was very knowledgeable & so so friendly. Just book this one! you truly will not regret it
Cassidy_B, Jun 2026
The crew was so helpful and informative about the island. “0007”, Eddy, and Tamara were very attentive to my sea sickness and made me feel comfortable. The snorkeling was beautiful and we were able to see so many fish. Also the food was delicious!!
Jodi_P, Jun 2026
Everything about the trip was very easy. Crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. They made sure we had a wonderful experience.
Kevin_E, Jun 2026
Outstanding day. Try to book on a day where there are no cruise ships in port. Really tailored the experience. Captain and First Mate were funny, friendly, and helpful.
John_S, Jun 2026
Crew was very good and very attentive to the needs of all on board. They took the time to make everyone comfortable, food and drink was good and plentiful. The Honey Catamaran was small compared to most others making it bounce more in the waves even though we had a rather calm day on the waters. At least 6 of the 15 on board got motion sickness with 3 vomiting at some point. The ran a safe boat and it was nice that they had a sister catamaran traveling the same route working together as needed.
Brian_F, Jun 2026
Excellent activity - the crew is extremely helpful and made sure everyone knew their surroundings and had a great time
Ken_O, Jun 2026
The boat was nice and the crew was excellent. A special call goes to Jasper. He was very attentive and engaging with the guest. I especially loved him sharing his love with the seagulls and hand-feeding them cheese. Lunch was awesome. I recommend scheduling a snorkeling trip with them.

Princess changed the departure time that morning. The tour operator quickly refunded our full purchase price. It wasn’t their fault. Princess changed our departure to be earlier, and we were the only ones from Princess.
Rhoda_C, May 2026
This was the BEST excursion we have done! The staff was amazing. The food and drinks were so good. The atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. The weather was incredible.
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.
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.
Robert_H, Apr 2026
Great day travelling around the island, saw both the French and Dutch sides and also spent some time watching the planes coming in at Maho beach.
Laura_W, Apr 2026
Great crew, food and drinks were great, we enjoyed the stops. Everyone enjoyed the day so much! Highly recommended.
Pat_J, Apr 2026
Cap’t Tim, Lasaorn, and Eddy were great. They did everything to make us comfortable they answered all our questions. The stops were great. Not too crowded. Food was very good. Potatoe salad was great. Boat comfortable. Flowing drinks and music was good

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

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.
Lindy_N, Mar 2026
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.
Sarah_W, Mar 2026
Amazing experience, great atmosphere provided by Captain K and the crew. Everything was flawless. 10/10 would highly recommend.
Myra_R, Mar 2026
Excellent day! Food was delicious! Open bar generous.
Staff were excellent. Good instructions on snorkeling. Lots of fish !
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.
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.
