Over the years we’ve done a few around the island tours but one in particular that stands out in my mind was our first all day catamaran sail that went out of Philipsburg, I think it was Eagle Tours Ecotour and the boat was Quality Time. It was not inexpensive but it was an all day activity that included bus transport to and from our hotels, the all day sail with several stops around the island for snorkeling and a brief stop at Tintamarre, along with lunch at the now defunct Calmos Cafe. And of course, an open bar all day for those that want to enjoy their favorite libations, alcoholic or non. I think the cost of the trip was more than justified given the pleasant day we had.

The captain and his crew were all excellent and couldn’t do enough to make all the guests happy. The boat was rated for around 55 passengers but the captain assured us they NEVER took a big group because it was deemed an island eco tour and while I’m not really certain what one thing had to do with the other but I’m sure there was sound reasoning behind this game plan.

I know there are many tours to other islands and destinations in and around SXM but I think a Saturday sail might be problematic. Or not.....😊😊
