The experience

The Mambo leaves Simpson Bay Resort Marina at 9am and sails across the channel to Anguilla, stopping first at Cove Bay for a swim before heading to Rendezvous Bay. The beach there is two miles of powdery sand backed by clear water shallow enough to wade into with a noodle or swim freely. You can snorkel the shallows or float and watch St. Maarten across the water from the other side of the channel.

Lunch arrives on board at noon: a full meal served on deck while you're anchored. After eating, most travelers walk the length of Rendezvous Bay, though staying in the water is just as valid. The open bar runs all day, so drinks come whenever you ask. Snorkeling gear and floatation belts are provided and included.

The sail home follows the same relaxed rhythm as the morning crossing. You board the Mambo again and return to Simpson Bay Resort Marina with the sound of the waves against the hulls. The whole day runs about seven and a half hours from start to finish. Note that this is a barefoot cruise: shoes come off before boarding and are stored in a basket, returned to you on the dock when you step back onto land.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (5 to 13 years); Infant (under 5).

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the water like at Rendezvous Bay for swimming and snorkeling?

Rendezvous Bay has crystal-clear water shallow enough to wade and deep enough to swim freely. Snorkeling gear is provided and included, so you can explore the shallows or simply float with a noodle if you prefer to stay near the surface.

When does lunch happen and what's included in it?

Lunch is served on board at noon while the Mambo is anchored at Rendezvous Bay. A full meal comes with the cruise, and the open bar runs all day, so drinks are included whenever you want one.

How much of the day do you spend at Rendezvous Bay itself?

You arrive mid-morning after the swim stop at Cove Bay and stay until early afternoon, with time to swim, snorkel, eat lunch on deck and walk the two miles of sand if you choose. The sail home takes the same time as the sail out, so you're back at Simpson Bay Resort Marina by mid-afternoon.

Do I need to bring my own snorkeling gear?

No. Snorkeling equipment and floatation belts are provided and included with the cruise, so you don't need to bring your own or pay extra.

What should I know about boarding the Mambo?

This is a barefoot cruise, so your shoes are removed before you step on board and stored in a basket. You'll get them back when you return to the dock at Simpson Bay Resort Marina at the end of the day.
