Itinerary
- 1Cupecoy BayHop aboard the Santino, a 39 foot custom built motorboat for a day exploring some of the most famous spots around the island!
- 2Tintamarre IslandUsual stops include Long Bay, Creole Rock, Pinel and Tintemarre. This trip does include an open bar of beer, sodas, rum punch, fruit punch and bottled water. Snorkel gear and noddles are also included and the Santino boasts a small but practical marine toilet on board.
- 3Pinel IslandSnacks or lunch aren't included so it's advised to bring extra cash if you are planning to have lunch at a restaurant. From April to October, the Santino can usually head the whole way around St Maarten, enjoying many stops along the way. When the Christmas winds pick up, it makes it difficult to pass over the north side due to big seas. The schedule would then be on the west side visiting Creole Rock and many of the beaches on the west coast.
- 4Baie RougeThe trip can be a bit wet at times so it's advised to keep your valuables in a plastic ziplock bag.
