TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Below Deck this evening.

Watched the St. Maarten episode tonight. Tender from Simpson Lagoon through the Dutch exit to the waiting ship in Simpson Bay, then on to Marigot. Fun to watch the scenery. How much of the reality was real, I don't know !

I tried to watch one a couple of days ago, hoping to see some of SXM. After about five minutes of drama between the crew members, I changed the channel.

Carol it’s not a travelogue😂😂

Rick--yeah, I know that, but I was just jonesing for some views of SXM..

Notice the guests NEVER leave the yacht to see the beautiful island they're anchored at except to have a beach lunch catered by the yacht on some overcrowded beach.

Don't really know, as I have maybe watched one or two shows.

Recorded it but have not watched the episode yet. I will save it for a rainy day.

It’s a rinse-and-repeat show, no matter if they are in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean or Down Under. The drama between the crew is prevalent, views of the scenery not so much unfortunately. Stopped watching quite a while back.

What is so BAD about this show is that it is all scripted!!! As another posted said no matter what location, they never leave the boat, so it doesn't matter where they are. They could be filming in the Hudson river NY, it's the same banter!!! Our pictures and videos are a lot more fun to check out!!! Because they are from all of US!!!

I know I'm old but the language is too much for me.....even though it is bleeped out. How many times is it necessary to say the F word? I guess I was raised differently.....of which I am grateful.

Different world and time then when we grew up sorry to say.

Recorded, then watched for the views, and hit pause a few times for the scenery. I may be mistaken, but the dialogue says they went to Marigot, then showed the boat at anchor with the title Marigot, but it looked to me like it was a shot from Simpson

Only seen the show a dozen times or less...yes a lot of crew drama and not a fan of the bleeping language which isn't needed. I did see some of the crew on the beach last year at Mary's Boon one Sunday having a lot of fun. I felt bad because some people were asking for pictures which I guess goes with the fame,

No...it was Marigot.

Watched, and paused a few times, the second episode. There were a few aerials of SXM, Baige Rouge for a few seconds, and a minute or two of the crew going to Ocean 82 ( they got a table on the porch, and one of the crew physically removed the lobster she chose from the tank) and then they went to Rainbow and danced. Otherwise, not much in terms of views of the island. Did have a nice section at the end of the boat going through the draw bridge- with clips of prior incidents of boats hitting the bridge, and a pretty good aerial of it as it went through the bridge.

Just going to resurrect this thread for a while....

I watched an episode of this show where they sailed across to Anguilla. They anchored in Crocus Bay and a company (Liquid Glow) brought out lighted, transparent kayaks for the guests to use at night. It was quite something to see. The kayaks lit the water beneath them and they could see fish, turtles and other nocturnal sea creatures.

Looks like a very fun thing to do. Just wondering if anyone on this site has done it.

Saw that episode. Might be done watching it. If I was on that charter any witnessed all that bickering of the crew I'd want off.

Watched the latest episode, they went ashore at Mullet- interestingly they set up their chairs and pop up tent right next to the last of Rosie's umbrellas - I would have thought they would go farther down the beach to get away from the crowds. Had a few nice aerials of them coming under the bridge, and earlier, the captain was urging the deck crew to move quicker so he could make the 3 pm bridge lift.

Just watched last episode. Think I'm pretty much done with wasting time on this. Very crass and constant F bombs. Too bad as it could be good. Crew always fighting. For a reality show it's far beyond reality.
