Catamaran excursion--St. Martin

[shipgal]

Anyone done the Catamaran Mirabella swim and beach excursion in St. Martin? If so, do you recommend it, or is there a different one you recommend? Want one with some decent snorkeling.

We did (through Celebrity) in 2013.

We were a really small group, I'd say maybe 8 or 10 people. Very nice crew, friendly and efficient. My DH stayed on the boat for the beach stop and though his English is... limited they made very friendly small talk with him. I enjoyed the snorkle stop (I think it was where the Sea Trek is) but we are not experienced snorklers, I am sure there are better snorkeling options in the Caribbean. The beach stop was nice, they fed the fish from the boat. Food was bread (for both us and the fish) and cheese and I think some type of nacho and dip. Drinks were nice (rum punch - enjoyed the one on our St. Thomas excursion a bit more but nice enough). We went to Maho on the way back to the ship to watch planes. They fished from the back of the Catamaran and we caught a barracuda which I thought was neat.

 

We are considering doing it again just for the nice atmosphere this fall.
