Fun in the boat!! - The most amazing trip!! Our tour guides Eli and Jad were top notch!!!

So much fun! A must do! - So much fun! Trying to post a review to help answer some of the questions we had-by no means is anything negative about this tour; just not as much communication/organization which would be helpful. We came from a Royal Caribbean Cruise. Family of 9. Walk to the meeting location took about 10-15 minutes. Once we arrived at the Marina we were a bit confused where to actually meet "Billy Bones", so we stood around for a while until we finally asked. There were two ladies under the pavilion checking people in; had we not asked we probably would have never known what to do. Once you check in you choose your lunch option (Fish, chicken, ribs or vegetarian) all very good (comes with meat, salad, rice, noodles-it's plenty), and sign your waiver. We were under the assumption we were starting at 9am as that is what our sheet said, but we didn't actually leave until 10am so it was a lot of unexpected waiting around (multiple tours go out of this marina). Our boat was for 20 people however it is "separated" between the front and back of the boat so it almost felt like a private tour. Our captains were Jad and Eli-they were fantastic-very funny and personable. Once in the boat we took off. We went around to multiple different areas; the captains talk and you can ask questions. Multiple quick beach stops for snorkeling they provide you with all the equipment (use fins!). They have beer; water; pop; rum punch on the boat-we tried our best to outdrink the cooler but failed. They also passed around individual bags of chips. You do have to jump out of the boat and get into the water to get to the lunch spot-but it's beautiful and warm so you dry off fast. At lunch your meal is free but you do pay for water/beer/drinks. We saw some amazing looking lobsters being grilled at this resturant and we tried to order one but they didn't have enough/we didn't have enough time-so if you want to try one (Price is extra) see if you can order ahead-it looked amazing. The water is a bit rough-especially when they take you across the ocean super fast. I was afraid I would be sea sick but was fine. Take a Bonnie or wear a patch if you are worried (our cruse ship was super rocky, so maybe I was numb to the movement at this time). Bring lots of sun screen, even better-sun shirts; the sun is rough and despite multiple applications of sun screen some still got pretty red. The time cruised by and before we know it we were back on land. You can take a ferry from the Marina back to the cruise port-it's a few bucks but worth if after a long day on the water. We had no issues getting back to the Port on time for our all aboard-they are very aware of time.

Billy Bones Charter Boat... - Billy Bones Charter Boat took us to multiple stops throughout the day. We were able to experience some local Creole cuisine for lunch, snorkel, check out a number of bays. Overall a wonderful experience! Lukas and Nicolas were amazing guides.

Anguilla Getaway - I had the best time on the Anguilla Getaway! Junior was a great host and took us to some gorgeous spots. The vibes were fun and the drinks were pouring. Anguilla has some of the most beautiful beaches and I definitely want to go back!

Awesome day!! - Great excursion!! Great lunch and had a blast with captain Jad and Eli. Super family friendly with a little adult spice.

Unforgettable Day on the Water with Billy Bones Tours – Jad & Eli Are Legends - If you’re even considering a boat charter in Saint Martin, stop looking and book with Billy Bones Tours—and if you can, request Jad and Eli. These two absolutely made our day and delivered one of the best charter experiences we’ve had anywhere. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Jad and Eli struck the perfect balance of professional, friendly, and fun. They were incredibly welcoming, helped everyone on and off the boat with ease and care, and immediately set a relaxed, upbeat tone that carried through the entire trip. Their energy was lighthearted and infectious, but never over the top—just genuine island hospitality at its finest. What really stood out was how much they shared about Saint Martin’s history and culture along the way. It added so much depth to the experience and made the island come alive in a way you just don’t get from a guidebook. And when it came time to relax, they were fantastic hosts—drinks flowing (did someone say rum punch!?!?!), glasses never empty, and always with a smile. Then there was the fun. Jad and Eli clearly know that part of a great charter is giving guests the option to turn things up a notch. The high‑speed runs and wild S‑turns were an absolute blast—pure adrenaline, constant laughter, and the kind of moments people talk about long after the vacation is over. Thrilling, but always felt safe and controlled in the hands of true professionals. And let’s talk about lunch—because wow. They brought us to an amazing local BBQ spot, and it was nothing short of incredible. We had the chicken and ribs, and as a pit master myself, I don’t hand out compliments lightly—especially when it comes to ribs. These were hands-down the best ribs I’ve had outside the U.S. Perfectly cooked over open charcoal pits, with incredible flavor, tenderness, and that unmistakable smoke you only get when it’s done right. Absolute standout meal and a highlight of the trip all by itself. All told, this was a five‑star, no‑notes experience. Jad and Eli are the kind of captains who elevate a great tour into a truly memorable one. Incredible service, tons of fun, local knowledge, amazing food, and fantastic vibes from start to finish. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Billy Bones Tours again—and we’ll be asking for Jad and Eli every single time. Highly, highly recommended. 🌴🚤🍹🔥

Super Enjoyable Day! - Our family of 4 adults really enjoyed our full day on the water. Our captain Jad, and Eli were fantastic. We got some history and information about the island. On our first snorkel stop we saw many different varieties of fish and some saw a barracuda. The second stop was where the turtles hang out. We also saw some dolphins along the way. We stopped for lunch at a Lolo in Grande Case. We selected what we wanted for lunch when we signed in for the tour. Three of us had the catch of the day-mahi mahi and one had ribs. It was a delicious plate full of food that we all enjoyed. Jad gave us a great combination of speeds and s-turns throughout the day. One of our last brief stops was at Maho where we got to see a few planes start to land over us. All in all we loved our day and would definitely recommend it.

Amazing experience - I can't say enough how amazing this tour was. Chad and Eli were fantastic captains and we loved every stop. They offered a lot of information about the island, history, culture and homes we passed. It was more than a beach day. We truly enjoyed lunch and the hospitality. I would highly recommend this tour. 10/10

Full island tour in snorkling! - Excellent complete island tour and snorkling in the most beautiful places! We wanted to see the island but in a different way than by car. It’s a matter of having a good idea of the state of the beaches and the atmosphere of each one! This one-day tour allowed us to see all this in one day! It was perfect with Jade and Elie who took care of us and made us laugh!

Beautiful - Tom and Sammy were very fun and entertaining. Also, provided a lot of history about the island. We had a great time!
