Awesome day with Billy Bones Boat Charters - - 06/05/2016 02:31 AM

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share our experience of touring St Martin the other day. We booked a snorkel trip with Billy Bones, and WOW! Were we impressed. We started around 9:30am opposite Cappuccino's at the dock, on the lagoon, we were on a 36' Concept called ACRA. Twin 250Hp on the back, Comfy seats, lots of room to store bags, etc. We headed through the lagoon, and out the Sandy Ground bridge, and cruised up to Creole Rock for a beautiful snorkel, the up to Tintamare to swim with the turtles (We saw 8 or 9, and were 'up close and personal' with them!!!) Following this we cruised over to Pinel, for a visit with the Iguanas. Then off to Rainbow Cafe for Lunch. Choice of 9 or 10 different meals, including Tuna Tartare, Grilled chicken breast, grilled Mahi-mahi, etc. So delicious! After lunch we zipped around to Long Bay, just off La Semanna for a relaxing swim (Chilling on a swim noodle with another drink in hand!) finally passing Maho, and the airport to see the planes, So cool to see them from the water!! and then sadly back to the marina at the end of the day. It was a full day tour which was over 6 hours.
Unlimited beer, pop, water AND delicious Rum Punch all day (Except at the restaurant for lunch), Hotel pick up and drop off, lunch included, very experienced and safe captain, snorkel gear provided, all for $119.
We figured if we were to just sit at somewhere like Karakter for the day, drink all day, eat lunch, the bill would be double! (and this included an awesome boat ride too! )
Such a wonderful day to spend exploring the island! Only 12 guests on the boat so not crowded at all. (We looked at a Prickly Pear tour on the Lambada but chose to not be on a boat with so many people.)
We did find a few other tours similar,(for $109) but lunch at a Lolo's, no rum punch, and no hotel transfers.
We are still talking about what a great day we had, so I thought I would "Share the Love"

Highly Recommended!!!

Thanks for posting that Lyn. I didn't know that. Meantime, I would suggest that the original poster refrain from posting fake advertising posts.
