Riding the Waves: A Jet Ski Adventure in St. Martin
When a last-minute cancellation led me to a jet ski tour in St. Martin, I discovered an exhilarating way to explore the island’s stunning beaches and bays. Join me as I recount the thrilling adventure and the hidden gems we uncovered along the way.
Setting Sail on a Jet Ski Adventure
The Caribbean sun was shining brightly as I made my way to the starting point of the Jet Ski Tour in Marigot. Having spent countless hours riding the waves as a professional surfer, I was eager to experience the thrill of jet skiing around the beautiful island of St. Martin. The cancellation of a previous booking turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it led me to Kevin and his fantastic crew.
Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by Kevin and his team, who were all incredibly friendly and helpful. They ensured that everyone was properly outfitted and prepared for the adventure ahead. As we set off, the excitement in the air was palpable. The roar of the jet skis and the spray of the ocean were invigorating, and I couldn’t wait to explore the island’s stunning beaches and bays.
Exploring the Island’s Hidden Gems
The tour took us to some of the most breathtaking spots on the island, including a stop at the luxurious Belmond La Samanna. The crystal-clear waters and pristine beaches were a sight to behold, and I couldn’t resist taking a dip in the inviting sea. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the island’s history and natural beauty.
One of the highlights of the tour was our stop at Friars Bay Beach Cafe, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch. The grilled red snapper was a hit with everyone, and it was the perfect way to refuel before continuing our journey. As we rode the waves, we were treated to glimpses of vibrant sea life, adding to the magic of the experience.
A Thrilling Ride to Remember
The thrill of jet skiing at speeds of up to 40 mph was exhilarating, and the occasional airborne moments added an extra layer of excitement. Despite a brief mix-up with another group of jet skis, Kevin and his crew were quick to ensure everyone was back on track. Their attention to detail and commitment to safety were commendable.
As the tour came to an end, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to see St. Martin from such a unique perspective. The memories of the day, captured in photos by Kevin, will be cherished for years to come. For anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in the Caribbean, this jet ski tour is a must-do. Just remember to bring your own water and cash for lunch and transportation, and get ready for an incredible ride!
