My wife and I are returning to St. Martin at the end of May for a couple of short weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions for a day sail or sunset dinner sail?

Look at what Aqua Mania has to offer at www.stmaarten-activities.com Been on a few of them and they do a good job.

IMHIO you can’t beat No1SXM and their sunset sail, although their day sails are enjoyable too. I’m just a sucker for sunset sails.
Theirs is a true sail as opposed to moving under motor power. Pieter and Mirian know their trade and practice it beautifully. There’s something almost magical about gliding along the water and watching the moon and stars glisten in the early evening darkness while the sounds of the ocean mingles with the sail sounds flapping in the breeze. How I wish we were there now……..

Whomever you book with, enjoy.


Respectfully,

I concur with No. 1 SXM, we did the sunset sail with them in February and it was great. No music just the sound of the sails and the surf. They offered "finger food" and beer, wine and rum punch were also included. I found their phone # and booked it right over the phone. Easy peasy... They pick you up at the pier behind Nowhere Special Bar (next to The Simpson Bay Yacht Club) and dinghy you under the drawbridge to their Trimaran which is moored in the bay by Royal Palm Resort. The husband/wife team were very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely sail with them again.

Yes. I have done a couple of half-day sails and also a sunset sail, both were very nice and relaxing with great service.

Thank you! I like the true sailing much better too. We can't wait to get back to the island

Nothing available on my dates, I guess I should have asked this question months ago, any other suggestions?
