Highly recommend! - I highly recommend this excursion for anyone who likes to be out on the water, snorkels, and/or likes to drink. The snorkeling spots were amazing and the drinks were plentiful. The crew was engaging and ensured we had a great time. My young adult children declared this their favorite excursion we have ever done.

Highly recommended! - First time to St Maarten and decided on this excursion due to its high reviews. It did not disappoint! Brett and Dillon provided a great atmosphere, with excellent information and conversations, great food and drinks, and wonderful opportunities for snorkeling (our first time!) and beaches. Even made a special stop off Moho Beach to watch a jet fly in over us!

Snorkel and boat tour - We took this tour with Capt. Brett and Dyllan in early Nov 2025 it was great! We have done many snorkel and boat fishing tours and these 2 didn't disappoint. They were fun, knowledgeable and above all very passionate about their jobs and the island! You could tell they really care and wanted to share a good time with you! Do this tour, you won't be disappointed!

Fun, relaxing, perfect for families - This was a great tour! We took our kids, ages 11 and 12. We spent just long enough in each location so we could experience it fully, but not too long where the kids got bored. Amazing snorkeling, really fun boat ride, and great beaches! This is a small, family, run business and the guys that guided our tour were amazing. 10/10!

If you book nothing else, book this tour! - My wife and I booked this tour with Brett and Dillon last minute. We came down to St Marteen with zero plans and this was the only guided tour we did. If you don’t do anything else, do this one! They took us all over the island plus two more ones we wouldn’t have seen on our own. The boat ride was entertaining, snorkeling was great for beginners, and sights were unbelievable. Brett and Dillon are also great at recommending other things you should do on the island. I wish we would have done this tour our first day instead of our last! Definitely book it!

Great experience! - Really great experience! The captain in first me were really knowledgeable about the area in the history. The sandwiches were really good, and all in all it was a lovely day of exploring, swimming, snorkeling, and drinking if that's your poison. Our options wear beer or rum FYI for finicky drinkers like myself.

Best experience ever, must go! - Captain Brett and first mate Dillon made this excursion absolutely incredible. We had an amazing time snorkeling and swimming at each stop & felt so safe with their guidance. I truly cannot recommend this tour enough - a family owned business that is worth your time and money! They constantly made sure we were okay, happily handed us unlimited food and drinks, and made sure we were having a great time. Not to mention the stops on this tour are absolutely beautiful and are must see. We will definetly be booking with them again, 10/10 recommend! Thank you Brett and Dillon!!

Outstanding day excursion in St. Maarten from the Icon of the Seas - Outstanding day cruise aboard a fast 35’ outboard boat. Thrilling ride with informative tour of the island, snorkeling at multiple sites with incredible fish and turtle sightings, visit to a swim in bar at Pinel Island, lunch on board. Brett and Dillon were terrific guides. Best excursion of the week.

What a fun day! - Had a great time on Brett and Dylan( or Dillion) They were informative, professional, fun and on top of all things. Took us to multiple locations where we swam or snorkeled. Couldn't have had a better day. Food and drinks were always available and given with a smile and fun ribbing 🙂

Nice day tour if you like swimming - Good day tour to Anguilla, 4 stops to swim and snorkel, gear provided (BYO Towels), wonderful lunch and drinks available all day. Wife had difficulty re-boarding the boat from the water, just a few steps and one hand hold, no actual railing. The crew assisted everyone boarding which was helpful. Crew also noted cost of renting various "exclusive" spots on Anguilla as we sailed by - this was something we had no interest in, but some might like. Actually was only 1 snorkeling spot, which was disappointing. Ads indicated 3 of 4 stops would include snorkeling. But swimming was lovely. Hard to get onto beaches...a big step up out of the water at the shore, but this was the same as on St Maarten.
