Setting Sail to St. Martin

With gentle winds and calm seas, you’ll glide across the blue waters of the Caribbean, enjoying the view of the islands on the horizon. This full-day cruise gives you the chance to explore several unique destinations, each offering something special.
Snorkeling at Fourchue Island
The first stop of the day is Fourchue Island, a protected marine reserve located between St. Barts and St. Martin. Known for its vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life, Fourchue is a snorkeling paradise. The clear waters around the island are home to tropical fish, sea turtles, and other marine creatures. Whether you're an experienced snorkeler or a beginner, this stop offers an unforgettable underwater adventure.
After snorkeling, relax on the deck, sip on a cold drink, and soak in the natural beauty of this untouched island before continuing your journey towards St. Martin.
Exploring Pinel Island: St. Martin's Hidden Gem
Next, your boat will cruise towards Pinel Island, just a 10-minute sail from the mainland of St. Martin. Pinel is a natural reserve known for its fresh seafood and its unspoiled beauty. This small island has no permanent settlement, but it’s home to two charming beach restaurants that serve up delicious, locally sourced seafood dishes.
Dining on the Beach at Pinel Island
Enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of Pinel Island's beachside restaurants. The rustic charm of dining with your feet in the sand, combined with the mouthwatering flavors of Caribbean cuisine, makes for a truly authentic experience. If you prefer a more private lunch option, we can arrange for a catered meal onboard from our local partners in St. Barts. Whether you choose to dine on the beach or on your boat, Pinel Island’s tranquility and natural beauty make it the perfect spot to relax and unwind.
Snorkeling and Relaxation at Tintamarre Island
After lunch, continue your cruise to Tintamarre Island, another nearby natural reserve famous for its crystal-clear waters and serene atmosphere. This uninhabited island is known for its pristine beaches and peaceful vibe, offering a chance to unwind in complete solitude. Snorkel in the calm, shallow waters, or simply relax on the beach and enjoy the Caribbean sun. Tintamarre is the perfect place for a peaceful retreat away from the busier beaches of the main islands.
Returning to St. Barts: A Perfect End to the Day
As the afternoon winds down, your boat will begin the return cruise to St. Barts, but the adventure isn’t over just yet.
A Final Swim at Shell Beach
Before heading back to port, your final stop will be Shell Beach, one of St. Barts' most popular beaches, located just a short distance from Gustavia. Famous for its unique shell-covered shoreline, this beach is the perfect place to enjoy a final swim. As the sun begins to lower in the sky, you can relax with a glass of champagne, reflecting on the day’s adventures before cruising back to the harbor.
