St Maarten Catamaran Snorkeling: 6 Hours Sailing & Beach

‹
St Maarten Catamaran Snorkeling: 6 Hours Sailing & Beach★★★★★★★★★★ 4.79 (325)6hA 6-hour catamaran sail along St Maarten's leeward coast with two or more snorkeling stops, beach time and a barbecue lunch buffet. The boat leaves from Bobby's Marina with snorkeling instruction and gear provided, an open bar all day, and a crew that handles the sailing so you handle the swimming and eating. Weather may shift which beaches and snorkel sites you visit.Is it for me?Six hours is long enough to sail two snorkel sites and anchor for a beach swim while lunch cooks, but short enough to leave your afternoon free—ideal if you're docked in port or based nearby and want a full water day without eating the whole schedule.Free cancellationTravelers' pickKids −27%fromUS$ 132View ›
St. Maarten: Trimaran Day Sail & Snorkeling with Lunch

St. Maarten: Trimaran Day Sail & Snorkeling with Lunch★★★★★★★★★★ 4.89 (158)5h 30mYou board a trimaran at a dock in St. Maarten, ride out by dinghy, then spend five hours sailing the southwest coast with stops for snorkeling and lunch, or choose the two-hour sunset version for cocktails and calmer water. Everything—entry, food, drinks, snorkel gear—is included. Groups cap at 14, and the boat moves fast enough that you feel the sailing, not just the scenery.Is it for me?Book this if you want to actually sail—not float on a big boat—and prefer a small group where you're not a number. The dinghy ride to the boat is part of the experience, not a hassle; it's what keeps the boat nimble and the day genuine.Free cancellationLikely to sell outKids −17%fromUS$ 145View ›

Snorkeling in Sint Maarten: Catamaran with lunch and open bar★★★★★★★★★★ 4.86 (93)6hA 6-hour snorkeling catamaran tour in Sint Maarten departs from Philipsburg and includes two or more reef stops with snorkeling instruction and gear, plus island-style barbecue lunch and an open bar throughout the day. The boat sails the calm Dutch side coast, with stops at Simpson Bay or Maho Beach depending on weather, and returns past the famous airport where planes land overhead. Weight limit is 125 kg (275 lbs); not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal injuries.Is it for me?The crew speaks English and delivers instruction in a straightforward way, so snorkelers of any language background can follow along. If you've never snorkeled before or prefer to move at your own pace without a guide directing you underwater, this tour gives you the gear, the instruction and the reef access without the structure of a guided group.Free cancellationTravelers' pickKids −26%fromUS$ 129View ›
Snorkeling in Sint Maarten: Private Luxury Catamaran Charter

Snorkeling in Sint Maarten: Private Luxury Catamaran Charter★★★★★★★★★★ 4.99 (499)6hA private luxury sailing catamaran charter in Sint Maarten takes you snorkeling at two reefs — Long Bay and Little Bay, where a shipwreck and submarine sit on the seabed — with a captain who has 25+ years at the helm and knows the sea life and the stories. The boat holds either up to 8 or up to 15 travelers depending on which option you book, and the day runs six hours with breakfast, a full Caribbean lunch cooked aboard, snacks and an open bar included; you bring a towel and reef-safe sunscreen.Is it for me?Book the small group option if you want a quieter deck and easier conversation with the captain and crew; the large group works better if you're traveling with friends and want to share the cost across more people. Either way, the fixed itinerary and included meals mean the day holds together without anyone planning the stops, timing or food — you show up and the captain handles the rest.Free cancellationTravelers' pickfrom · per groupUS$ 1,750View ›
