The end of an era….The Government of Saint-Martin has decreed Arrete no001-06 no more nudity on Tintamarre. On our last cruise to Tintamarre Capt Philippe was approached by the Reserve Naturel and told no more nudity on Tintamarre. On the boat and around in the water ok..but a swimsuit or pareo to stroll the beach… we hope that Club O can convince them to grant an excemption for TIKO TIKO on the grounds of acquired rights over 16years…
I have a suggestion for Capt. Philippe, having enjoyed TikoTiko cruises many times over the years:
- buy a quantity of inexpensive pareos or sarongs,
- buy a round inflated float with a solid bottom and a waterproof plastic crate
- buy a short length of rope and a heavy anchor
When you arrive at Tintamare anchor the float in knee-deep water, with the Pareo pile in the crate in the float. Your passengers can frolic in the water totally nude, but must grab a Pareo and wrap it around their waists before stepping onto the sand...and leave it on until back in the water...
As they go in and out of the water they just grab a pareo each time they go ashore and then take it off as soon as their ankles are wet and return it to the float.
The Captain and mate would have to grab one as they go ashore as well...
My recomendation would be to buy the thinest pareos you could find!
