While I love sailing on No1SXM, I'm not sure it meets all of your criteria. For the things you want, I would recommend Enigma/Celine 3 with Captain Neil Roebert.

Both of the previously suggested trips are awesome. I’m particularly fond of No1SXM but there some others that are very good, too. We had a very nice day on Eagle tours around the island sail. We are long time visitors and over almost fifty years of consecutive visits we’ve done a great many day sails and they’re all different but all worth experiencing. So many trips and do little time….. 🙂🙂

While we didn’t do a ‘private tour’ with Eagle Tours, it might just as well have been. The boat trip was termed an echo tour and the boat itself huge, I think rated for fifty or so passengers plus crew and there were only twelve of us on one tour and about fifteen on the other. These were not booze cruises or party cruises but merely a bunch of visitors who wanted a more laid back experience. They did stop a couple of times for the few snorkelers on board to do their thing and for those who wanted them, drinks were free flowing. Both trips with them were round the island and we would go again in a heartbeat.

We had a boat trip to AXA one year, although sadly, I don't recall the name of the boat or tour, that was much like your experience. John and I and one other couple, friends we were traveling with, booked the sail and we were the only ones who did. It was out of Simpson Bay and included a light breakfast, lunch at one of the AXA hotels along with the use of their beach, pool and chaise lounges, and drinks for the duration of the day on the boat. And literally, we were treated like loyalty. I really feared they might cancel the trip when we showed up as the only guests.but they made the day a very special memory for us.
