My group would like to jet ski and parasail while in SXM in August. I figure the best place to parasail would be Orient, so I found a deal there. It looks like the parasail session is pretty short. I guess 15 minutes is normal? Also, I need some suggestions for jet skiing. It looks like our options for a 30 or 60 minute session would be from Simpson Bay, Marigot, or Phillipsburg. I did see one out of Anse Marcel, but we do not plan to go there. Any suggestions for a good jet ski tour for mostly beginners? Thanks in advance!
As Mahokid was saying. I've been out on the Rhino Safari mini speed boats MANY times (12 times) and they are a BLAST!!! There are new owners . BUT still a great time. You can rent a single or go out double on one boat!! Depending on how calm the ocean is will determine which route they will take you. If it's calm that day, you could go from the marina at Pineapple pete's to around Simpson bay to Maho beach, watch the planes come in. If it's rough that day, you'll tour the marina's to the french side and up the west coast to Creole rock and do some snorkeling. The last time(April 2025) I went out with the new crew we pitstopped at Friars bay. Some snorkeled some ponied up at the bar. Either way, it a great time for 2.5 hours!!! I would say, mention my name, but don't think that will get you a discount with this new crew ,(why not!!) !!! Email: Rhino Safari <rhino_excursions@yahoo.com> Ask for "Tim" These are a lot more fun than a jetski and a lot safer, also, a lot easier on the body, they cruise like a mini boat but more fun than a jetski as I was just saying!! I even got my scaredycat wife Louise to go out !! I turned around to see how my newbie wife was doing, and there she was doing a "Leo titanic"!!! LOL!!!
