Not a fan of the first two especially at the cost now of the Celine, I think it is about $500 per couple now including tip.
#3 we did for a day, make sure you get reservations for both chairs and lunch and note that the chairs I think are $35 a set. Also if you don't want sun ask early for a second umbrella as the ones they have set out don't move and the chairs don't move much either. Lunch was good, and I think our total bill for 2 of us was a bit north of $200 for the day. I personally prefer going to Grand Case if I want a more luxury beach day although I do like Mullet. Captain Frenchy's, LTC and GCBC all are better in my opinion and less money. I would guess Kalatua is trying to compete with Anse Marcel and Coco's.
I prefer the Isle seat

Re #1: They are very different experiences. No1SXM is strictly sailing; no motor, no music. Just the sound of the water and sails flapping. Limited to, I think, 12-16 people. Celine motors and holds more people and may play music. I guess if I can't remember, it wasn't offensive if they do. Food very different: Celine very upscale and extensive menu, No1 simple but good sandwiches with other treats throughout the day. Peter and Mirian on No1 are friendly and nice captain/first mate. Neil on Celine has now retired and hired a captain, Dean, if I recall. Neil spends his time mingling with the guests and working on social media.
While I think the Celine is pricing itself out of the market, I like both and sail on both each trip.
