St Maarten Sailing and Snorkeling Tour: Tintamarre Island, Creole Rock and Lunch in Grand Case
St Maarten, Netherlands Antilles
Sail around the island of St Maarten on a full-day cruise with lunch included. On a spacious catamaran, you’ll sail to the neighboring island of Tintamarre, snorkel off Creole Rock, have lunch at Grand Case and enjoy scenic views of St Maarten's beautiful coast. Passengers are limited to 28 on this relaxing cruise that includes two snorkeling stops, an open bar and a friendly crew.
After pickup from your St Maarten hotel, depart Dock Maarten on a spacious catamaran and set sail for the island of Tintamarre, off St Maarten’s northeastern coast. While you sail across the sea with your friendly and attentive crew, Caribbean music will get you in the mood for your day of fun in the sun.
Arriving at Tintamarre, you can explore the island, known for its natural beauty, on your own or snorkel the reef with the tropical fish. After an hour on Tintamarre, set sail for Creole Rock, where the crystal-clear waters just off St Maarten’s northwest point are ideal for snorkeling.
Next, your cruise continues to Grand Case, where lunch with French wine is served on the beach at the laid-back Calmos Cafe. With two hours in Grand Case, you’ll have time for a swim after lunch.
In the afternoon, re-board the boat for the relaxing cruise down the coast, past Marigot, Baie Rouge, La Samanna and Sunset Beach. Have one last swim before sailing into the setting sun with an included glass of Champagne, finally returning to Great Bay and docking at Dock Maarten, from where you’ll be returned to your hotel.
Throughout the cruise, you can enjoy complimentary drinks from the boat’s open bar.
Note: The cruise might follow the reverse route, depending on the day’s weather conditions.
Captain Koy and mates Tina and Vanessa were first rate. We sailed to Tintamarre Island and Captain Koy went above and beyond to spot Turtles and he made sure the the guest who were a little concerned about getting in the water, got to experience seeing the Turtles and they were so grateful for the attention to detail he paid to them. Just a wonderful day with a wonderful crew, and I will do this tour again the next time I visit At Maarte,

Had great time on this tour. Boat was in great condition. Staff was friendly and professional. One side of the island was very choppy and several of us did not feel too well. Once we rounded the island it was smooth sailing thankfully. Lots of fish at snorkeling sites.

Our family had a great time - the weather was a bit windy, but we had a great time regardless.

Trip was as advertised. The weather was not totally cooperative, but we had fun anyway. My wife a some mobility issues and the crew couldn't had been more accommodating or hospitable. We took a different tour with this company St. Maartin Sailing and Snorkeling to St. Barts last year and were very excited to see that it was same captain and crew. Would recommend and do it again.

This was my 3rd trip to St Maarten and I have done s few excursions but this was by far one of the best! We swam with the turtles at Tintamarre, great snorkeling at Creole Rock and a delicious lunch featuring local seafood! Not only are the stops fantastic but the sail is around the whole island!!

This was just the most amazing day! We had a wonderful time. Can't say enough about the very competent and friendly crew handling the 40 ft. catamarran. There are a few tricky maneuvers along the way and they handled everything just perfectly. Three beautiful stops for swim/snorkle and excellent lunch stop at C'est L:avie in Grand Case. All topped off at the end with a champagne toast!

Very enjoyable tour, multiple stops for swimming and snorkeling. The crew was very helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. The food and drinks were great.

This was a fantastic tour. Because it was low season, there were only 7 of us on the boat. Had a blast and the rum punch was flowing. Met the most awesome people and the crew was great. Thanks Jasmine for keeping the rum punch flowing. The weather was perfect and the water serene. Will do this again for sure.

Two things I didn't like:_br/_
- the voucher says that we need to get in touch with the company, to schedule the transfer. Our mobile phone was not able to make calls in St Maarten, so would help if the company calls to the hotel saying what time the transfer will pick us up._br/_
- on our way back from the port to the hotel, the driver didn´t know that our hotel was in Philipsburg. When we were in the french side of the island he asked us our hotel, and I said that we should stayed in Philipsburg. It was not our fault, and he was not very compreensive.
