Well I guess I was pretty close on that ratio of non-scooter fans! LOL! BTW--that pix was pretty scary, all the best to whoever was involved in that.

We're just still in that young/adventurous/don't consider the danger-phase our lives...and personally the whole beach thing is slightly boring for me and this adds that excitment the others in my group and I need!! :) After driving scooters all over Europe growing up, I don't think anything worse can compare! I would consult the SXM-experts more on driving and rentals because there are many non-cruisers that visit these boards with a wealth of info! :) :) :)

CRUISEFOUR- Members of my family have been to St. Martin multiple times and have rented scooters. They had no problems driving them. They drive on the same side of the road as the U.S. (St. Thomas and others are opposite), the island is relativlely flat, and the main roads are well paved. We plan on using the scooter to go to a few beaches and possibly Marigot.

I have used scooters many times on many islands and have experienced crazy drivers everywhere. So stick to the main roads and pay attention (you would have to be paying 110% attention if you were driving a car also!). Nothing beats the experience. We don't go to tropical places to sit inside an A/C car! Just my opinion. :)

First of all let me say for every one person that recomends a scooter rental there will be five people to tell you not to. So if you at all doubt your confidence driving one, go for the car.

Anyhow, I will be in St. Martin this December and reserved a scooter through Arthur's Car Rental (try doing a google search for their website). The cost is $40 total and they pick you up from the cruise pier and then drop you off when you are finished. He is very prompt in returning emails (within hours). I personally can't imagine a more fun way to tour the island. From what I've heard its one of the easier islands to drive and navigate. Certain places you may want to avoid because of steep hills, for example Dawn Beach. The scooter may not have enough power to get you through...so stick to the level grounds. If you have any questions please let me know! :) :)
