We have done both...each more than once. The comments above are accurate. Our experience is that the Tiko-Tiko is a relaxing way to go hang out clothing optional on a deserted island and explore that island a while as well getting a leisurely motor sailing trip over and back. The lunch prepared onboard is also very good.

Paul's trip is a great way to see all of SXM from the water and also see the back side of Tintamare as well. Paul stops at many different locations and you get a chance to do different things at different spots, as well as seeing out favorite island from a totally new perspective.

We recommend both. Be aware that the portion of the trip along the East and North East coast of SXM in the Atlantic Ocean can be quite rough due to those Trade Winds piling up waves for thousands of miles. The good news is that only affects the very beginning and very end of the trip and that passes quickly. The rest of the trip is in the Caribbean Sea which is much calmer.

Definitely do both...if only on alternating visits!
