Following pickup at your St Maarten hotel, transfer to the Dock Maarten harbor to board your waiting catamaran.

Climb on board to the sounds of lively Caribbean music, then meet your friendly captain and crew and grab a drink from the open bar. Set sail for Tintamarre, and island the northeastern coast of St Maarten. Upon arrival, spend about an hour exploring the small island, known for its rugged beauty. Grab the snorkel gear and check out the reef, or look for shells on the powder-soft sandy shore.

Back on the boat, cruise toward Creole Rock, one of St Maarten's most famous snorkeling spots. With clear, calm waters and an abundance of tropical fish, the reef is a wonderful place to see the Caribbean's undersea life in action.

After working up an appetite swimming, beach combing and snorkeling, go ashore in Grand Case for a gourmet lunch, including a glass of French wine. Enjoy the food, wine and relaxed ambiance at the Calmos Cafe. After lunch, you'll have time for a swim off the beach at Grand Case before climbing back on the boat.

The afternoon's activity is a cruise up the coast. View Marigot Bay, Sunset Beach, Baie Rouge and La Samanna as you glide by, then take time for one last dip in the water. Toast the sunset with a complimentary glass of champagne before returning to Dock Maarten, then enjoy drop-off back at your hotel after an 8-hour day of island exploration.

Awesome boat ride, beautiful stops, great day

Highly recommend this day trip! Charlie and Gloria were awesome!! The open bar was great if you like rum punch or beer, the food was good and the stops along the way were excellent. Snorkeling at Creole Rock was fabulous. I think we had a smaller group than pre-covid times but it was not crowded at all and we got to hang out where we wanted on the boat (the trampoline up front). The way out was very choppy and several people did get seasick but we stuck it out (and got SOAKED) up front. I didn’t mind! It was also not like a booze cruise feel I was expecting w/an open bar (also did not mind), I’m thinking because lots of people got queasy at the start. I wished there was a little more explanation as we went around the island because I was hoping to see beaches I wanted to return to later in the trip, etc, but there were no explanations or announcements except for at our three stops (Tintamarre, Creole Rock and Long Beach). We did some sailing too which my partner was really excited about as a catamaran person.

Quality time has a super crew

The crew was Great! The captain Dean however of Quality time was an ass to his crew. James, Maria and Charlie were so pleasant and helpful and really made the trip enjoyable. The water was very choppy on the way to our first stop and I became very seasick. Charlie and Maria took very good care of me. After we were at our first destination I was able to feel better and enjoy the rest of the day.

Friendly & Fun Crew

I HIGHLY recommend this trip. The crew was super friendly and a lot of fun, the views were incredible, and there was plenty to eat and drink! I usually avoid day trips/tours because I get bored and tired easily, but that definitely wasn't the case on this tour. I had a great time and would go again! TIP: Please don't bring children on this tour, as it's definitely more of a "booze cruise."
