Your favorite experience in St. Martin

[lovevacadays]

What was your favorite experience when you visited St. Martin? It can be anything that you found exceptional from a shore excursion, a restaurant, a beach, any type of experience that you loved would be great to hear about.

We enjoyed Bernard's tour. He took us to Orient Beach and Maho Beach. Both were beautiful.

Favorite Experience: Dinner with the Island Governor Dennis Richardson and his lovely wife.

 

It was at La Rosa, above the Maho complex.

 

We had a chance to freely express our feelings (mostly negative) about what we saw happening to the island. He didn't take any notes, but appeared to be very interested in our comments during the two hour event.

we just experienced not only our favorite st. martin experience but our all time favorite cruise experience. we hired paul from captain alan's and he took the 8 of us on his boat for a day sail that was amazing to say the least:D

While visiting Orient Beach, my husband wanted to snorkel on the island off the beach. We climbed on a jet ski with a cute young hard body French speaking guy,with me in the middle. We tipped the jet ski. After righting it, the "guy" and I climbed back on. He told my husband there was no room for him and left him treading water while he and I went off to the island. The fantasy ends when I was dropped off at the island and the "guy" returned with my husband. A very happy memory!

thanks everyone. cruzobsessed can you provide any other details as to your experience. What did you see, did you have lunch aboard?

[cruzobsessed]

my pleasure:)

there were 8 of us and we were looking for something......private. we have done silvermoon in barbados.....nativeway in the caymans and were used to being spoiled:p

captain alan has 2 boats....1 is used for group sailings (his groups are very small never a crowd) you can book 1/2 day and full day tours with him. they genreally include a 3 island tour. PINEL FOR SNORKELING.....TINTEMARRE FOR THE MUDBATH AND THEN HAPPY BAY FOR SWIMMING.

on our private sailing we went with alan's brother in law paul for the day and we went to the above places.......he made us lunch on the boat and the cooler was stocked with soda, water, beer and wine.

with the exception od pinel island the other 2 stops were to secluded deserted coves. we jumped off the boat and swam to the shore. the beaches we saw were incredibly beautiful and i cannot even describe the colors of the water and sand to you.

you should contact them and see what they have to offer. they are very flexible and will work with you. this will be the excursion that all other excursions are compared

#1 reason St. Martin is my favorite stop:

 

The beach that is close to the pier, 2 padded lounge chairs, umbrella and 6 Heinekens on ice for $17. Need more beer? 1$ each.

 

Sweet and simple

LOL Vectorboy,

 

It doesn't get any better or any simpler than that, does it????????

[cruzobsessed]

we were with paul from 9-4.....just the 8 of us on his immaculate speed boat. we worked on the itinerary via email for months. would do it again in a heartbeat.........$1100 for the day

[astropilot]

a day at Orient Beach and Carib beer... IMO it doesn't get much better than that.

We also went on a tour with Captain Alan- we are seasoned cruisers with 3 kids ages 13,11, and 8 and had a fabulous personalized private snorkeling tour. One of the best tours we've done on any island!
