I have used Island Marketing in other ports and have pleased with their service and their product. That's all I can add.

We've taken both half-day cat sails (on a cruise stop) and full-day cat sails (while staying on St Martin) with the Golden Eagle and can't recommend them enough. Great staff and lunch and itinerary, one of our 2 favorite cat sails in the Carib!

Just got back from our yearly Christmas Cruise. We skipped the ships tours and booked this tour through Island Marketing Ltd. I found searched them online http://www.stmaartencruiseexcursions.com and our tour was great.

Its worth noting they do two French Connection trips. As far as I can see one is a sailing Catamaran and the other a power boat catamaran. We booked the latter. We were picked up and taken for coffee and fresh pastries while we check in at the marina with Carla (delicious!)

The boat was big enough, and my wife found the boarding platform for snorkeling really easy (she has mobility issues and the Captain helped her in and out for snorkeling with no problems). We went to Pinal island which was a real surprise, a little paradise beach. The open bar was always open, the food was decent and snorkeling fun, although not spectacular. The nice thing was there was only six of us on the trip, so almost a private tour. Compared to the ship tours, $69 for all this is a good deal! Ill probably use them again next year (if we can afford another cruise:cool:but would like to see Anguilla next time around. Not sure its possible off a ship (too far?) any thoughts?

Pinel is a little slice of paradise when not overrun :)
