About this activity
Enjoy this amazing eco-tour with 5 stops, giving you a little bit of everything you can experience on this beautiful island.
Meet your guide in the designated meeting point at most St Maarten hotels or Bobby's Marina for cruise ship passengers. From there you guide will take you to the dock where you will board
Billy Bones, your comfortable 28-foot powerboat for the day. The professional and friendly crew with provide you with first class snorkeling gear for adults and kids, serve up drinks from the open bar and prepare snacks. These amenities on board make the day even better than you can ever imagine!
The first part of the tour will include a brief sightseeing cruise along the coast with a view of Saba and St. Barth then you will arrive at the Simpson Bay Lagoon, the largest saltwater lagoon in the Caribbean. This is also the temporary home for many million dollar "Mega Yachts". After going under three bridges the boat will reach Tintamarre Island where you will get to snorkel with turtles and enjoy what this gorgeous, uninhabited island has to offer.
After Tintamarre, the boat will cruise over for the next stop - Pinel Island. Here there will be time for more snorkeling and you can feed the iguanas that call the island home.
After Pinel Island, the boat will take a nice cruise until you reach Creole Rock for more snorkeling. Explore this amazing rock formation which is part of the French National Park and is loaded with tropical fish and corals. This is a must see snorkeling destination on the island. You will feel like you are in an aquarium!

Richard was fantastic. Helpful, informative and great stories! We had a great time. Didn't get me Billy bones beer holder, but he deserved a great review anyway. Oh, the tour was fun too!
It was a very memorable day for my daughter and I. Captain Rick was very funny and informative.The boat ride around the Island was exciting and offered beautiful scenery and the Captain's fascinating narrative on the island's history and description of the significance of what we were seeing. The snorkeling on the two stops we made was great crystal clear water, coral formations, colorful tropical fish and green turtles. Our stop on Pinell Isle allowed us to see the native Iguanas and the nice beach bar/restaurants there. Definitely worth the price! I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting St.Martin/St.Maarten.
Our family of 4 including our almost 16 and 17 year old daughters loved this snorkeling adventure. A true highlight of our cruise to the caribbean. Our captain Kevin and first-mate Chris made this charter an unforgettable experience! If we can get back to St. Maarten we would do this charter again in a minute!
Billy Bones Boatcharters is fantastic. Balasz, the owner, really makes you feel like family. He will pick you up anywhere you are staying. Captain Jim was great. He makes sure you are having a great time. We loved it so much, we booked 2 trips with them. I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to do a boat trip and snorkeling.
