Overview
The friendly, experienced crew of this nicely appointed 40' catamaran will entertain you with stories about the island, Caribbean music, and dancing!
As you sail from the Great Bay of Philipsburg along the palm-lined seashore framed by emerald hills, you'll see some of St. Marten's famous sights--Fort Amsterdam, Little Bay, Cay Bay, and Pelican Key.
Depending on the weather conditions that day, your captain will set a course for the best snorkeling stops. You will stop over a shipwreck, where you will have an unforgettable experience of watching underwater life. You'll have approximately 45 minutes to discover the brilliant colors of this underwater world and its inhabitants--starfish, octopus, angelfish, barracuda, sea urchins, stingray, snapper, squid, and ballyhoo!
Our second stop will be a beautiful blue water beach where you can swim, play in the sand, relax in the sun or stay on board and enjoy the beautiful blue waters, while watching for planes landing at the Princess Julianna International Airport!
If you wish, you can remain at the beach for a while longer to enjoy the tropical breezes and soft sand. Two beach chairs and an umbrella are available for rent for $10, payable at the beach. You will then be responsible for returning to the ship on your own.
On the return sail, bask in the sun and in the beauty of the ocean with Caribbean music and dancing for a perfect ending to your happy day in this little paradise!
