The Daily Herald has a story about the taxi and bus drivers being upset about water taxis going to Maho and car rental companies renting large vans. I can't say I have ever seen a water taxi going to Maho. Where would they get dropped off? Anyone ever seen a water taxi letting people off in Maho? Also, don't know why they are upset about vans being available from car rental companies. I don't see anything wrong with that. Someone willing to pay $40-$50 a day for a van rental is not going to take a taxi or bus.

The water taxis I GUESS are related to cruise ship traffic, although I don't recall ever seeing a water taxi going to Maho either. Perhaps they drop people off at Maho for Sunset? No idea. As far as larger vans, can't say why that would be an issue, unless they're saying that the car rental guys need a different type of a license to rent a van?? Dunno.

I can see why the taxi drivers are p*ssed off though, as they will get less people taking a taxi to Sunset, since this is available.

I'm confused as to how that would affect it. They can't build directly in front of the runway, which is where everyone hangs out.

I am guessing because Sunset B&G will be no longer there should the plan play out. Unlikely in my opinion but who knows.
I prefer the Isle seat

When we looked at apartments in AquaMarina last year around this time, we were told that the water taxi service from there no longer existed. Is your information more recent?
My wife and I live in St. Maarten during the winter and in the Boston area the rest of the year.
