navybankerteacher Posted November 17, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Has anyone recent experience with seaweed conditions on St. Maarten/St. Martin? What beaches? How bad was the seaweed? Were regular efforts to remove it underway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karysa Posted November 18, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Even on the catamaran trip I took last week from St. Martin to St. Bart's there was not sheets of seaweed floating in the water like there was last spring and summer. I saw none in the water on this trip. Shell beach in St. Bart's was affected like Orient and Dawn last May but there was only a small amount of old dry seaweed pulled way up on the beach there as well. It was so bad at Shell Beach last May that the beach was closed for a while in May. I went to Cupocoy beach, Grand Case, Petite Plage and the beach at the Flamingo Resort and I didn't notice any seaweed at all last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almonte256 Posted November 19, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Karysa, Would you be able to tell me the name of the catamaran trip that you took? My husband and I will be spending a week in St. Martin in January and I have been looking for a catamaran day sail to St. Barths. I had only found one, but they only did that particular trip on Wednesdays, and unfortunately, we are heading to spend a few days in Anguilla on the Wednesday, so I was hoping for another option. Thanks so much Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much Kris The company is called Scoobi Doo. They are out of the marina in Anse Marcel. Our trip was on a Thursday. There are several fast catamarans that go to St Bart's. We've done the one from Aquamania. I think it took about 45 minutes but the ride over is known to be rough. It's a lovely island to visit so I hope that you find a trip that suits your schedule.
