The experience
Eight hours on the water means you set the rhythm. The boat holds your group alone: no strangers, no fixed schedule beyond the start time. Mojito is a luxury catamaran, and the crew handles the navigation while you decide how long to stay at each stop. The two routes split the island's geography: one heads to Pinel Island and Tintamarre in the French Marine reserve, islands reachable only by boat and known for their tropical feel. The other stays on the Caribbean side, moving between Long Bay, Mullet Bay, Maho Beach and Little Bay in a calmer, more family-friendly pattern. Weather can shift the plan, and the operator builds that into the booking. A route change does not trigger a refund or cancellation.
Snorkeling gear, a paddleboard, a floating mat (the crew calls it a floating bar), and swimming noodles come aboard. Beers, rum, vodka, soft drinks, bottled water, and snacks (madeleines, oranges, mixed nuts, peanuts and chips) are included. Alcoholic drinks are for guests 18 and older only. The crew speaks English and shares stories and facts about the island as you move between stops. Fishing gear is also on board if your group wants to try it.
The boat leaves from a dock in St Maarten. Public transportation options are nearby if you need them. Service animals are welcome. Anyone entering the water does so at their own risk. The itinerary suits all fitness levels, though it is not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health.
Is this one for you?The guide speaks English, so your group follows the commentary without translation. Choose the Atlantic route if you want the remote island feel. Pick the Caribbean bays if your group includes young children or anyone who prefers a gentler pace.
