Fantastic day from start to finish! The crew was very fun and accommodating. We stopped at 3 beautiful locations and got to experience the coastal views of the entire island. Food was delicious! I would definitely book this tour again!

Fantastic

John_K, May 2024

Sharing a dream with my wife,Sailing in turquoise blue water swimming with turtles. The captain and crew were very safety oriented allowing us to have a very memorable tour!

Beautiful day snorkeling St Maarten!

Lori_H, May 2024

We had the best time! We were spoiled by the captain and his first mate/cook from the time we stepped onto the catamaran until we disembarked! We were served fabulous food and drinks and had close to 4 hours of snorkeling time in 3 different locations. I can not say enough good things about this experience! I highly recommend!

We loved it!

Melissa_N, May 2024

We had an amazing trip. The food was great. Our captain did an amazing job. We didn’t want for anything. The boat was clean and spacious. It is nice having a max of 15 per trip. We had 7.

Best Boat Trip St. Martin!

Mark_P, Apr 2024

Am awesome day! Definitely worth the money. Best boat day we have had in the Caribbean. Boat was awesome, spotless and facilities top notch. Food and drinks excellent and plenty of both. Benjamin and Alois made us feel special, welcome and made sure we had a perfect day. Georgia in the booking office made our last minute request happen within minutes and was very professional. Highly recommend Flagship SXM if you are staying in Saint Martin!

A must do when visiting the island. Awesome food, fun experiences, and great people

Alycea_P, Apr 2024

My husband and I (mid-20’s) had the best time! This was a very intimate excursion with great food, friendly crew, and new friends! We had 3 amazing stops and had so much flexibility at each location. We were able to snorkle freely, paddle board, float with noodles, and even do some jumps off the ship. My only advice is to make sure you pack motion sickness medicine(even if you usually do not get sea sick). I made this mistake and ended up having to sleep through dinner. The crew was accommodating and even let me nap the last hour in a bed below deck.

Great charter

Melissa_T, Apr 2024

Had a wonderful time on this trip. The service is amazing and the snorkeling is top notch. Couldn’t recommend enough!

AMAZING!! Will definitely book again!!!!!

Christin_M, Apr 2024

Awesome awesome awesome experience! I booked this for my mother & she loooooved it. It was the best part of our trip.. the crew was amazing! Benjamin was the best captain! Christina kept the drinks coming and was nice. The boat was spotless! They made sure the guest were fed, comfortable & accommodated. We shared the boat with a couple and their kids that had been on the Flagship II 2 or 3 other times and I see why… I will be a repeat customer for sure! Thank you all for the experience!

The most amazing cruise around SXM.

mersad_c, Mar 2024

The flagship 2 catamaran crew in SXM provided an absolutely wonderful experience, thanks to their exceptional team. From start to finish, the crew's dedication ensured an unforgettable voyage. The chefs deserve applause for their culinary mastery, as every dish served was simply amazing. The bar tender was a maestro, crafting the finest drinks with precision and flair. The captain's extensive sea knowledge was evident as they skillfully navigated, leading us to the most breathtaking spots. However, our only concern arose when two guests prompted an early return to catch their cruise ship, slightly disrupting an otherwise flawless journey. Despite this minor setback, the crew's professionalism and expertise shone brightly, making it a trip to remember.

The Only Way to See the Best of St. Maarten!

Michelle_H, Mar 2024

What an amazing day and the best way to see the beauty of St Maarten. The crew was so fun and knew where all the best spots to go snorkel were. Snacks, food and drinks were all top notch. We will definitely be back!

Just like we owned the boat

Richard_B, Mar 2024

Sailing away with the wind using the sails only. We loved the idea that the crew let us choose our own music.

Glorious

Alexandra_C, Mar 2024

Absolutely a wonderful day! Great food! Incredible snorkeling. Impeccable service! Book it Dano! You won’t regret it. It’s a full day trip and well worth it! Feeding the fish was just so much fun!

Best Boat Day

Michael_K, Mar 2024

Amazing trip! The captain was so nice and very informed about the island! Great service for food and drinks! Will absolutely be going again next time I am back!

worth every penny

Marie_F, Feb 2024

It was a wonderful trip and was great to be with only a small group. The food and beverages were excellent as was the experience.

Plan A

Michael_O, Feb 2024

Our first time to St. Maarten, my wife and I booked this tour, so glad we did! Small in comparison to many tours (we had 12 people on ours), we got to know the other couples well, 3 stops, amazing food, great crew (we saw another catamaran the same size with 50-plus people), in all honesty, we went on 3 other excursions, and this was our favorite! Highly recommend !!

5 Star Experience : Most Amazing Adventure in St Martin : Incredible Time!

Matthew_C, Feb 2024

We were extremely lucky to have this boat all to ourselves. I would rate this trip an 11 out of 10. By far the most amazing value with an incredible crew of people leading us through a beautiful 9 hour journey throughout the day. We were incredibly fortunate to be blessed with amazing weather and were able to hit 4 different snorkeling spots that would otherwise be unreachable without boat. Seriously worth every penny by far! Would do this again and again. It was the most magical day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend fully to all friends and family. The boat itself is beautiful and in great condition and well maintained. The food was very good as well.

Thank you for this lovely review and recommendation! We love to hear you had an amazing time. We look forward to you joining us again one day!

We had a fantastic day on...

Lazarra_L, Jan 2024

We had a fantastic day on this charter. It was capped at 15 and we had 11 passengers with a crew of 3. Plenty of space to relax. The food was fantastic, the service was excellent, and our stops were great. It was all inclusive and there was high quality alcoholic beverages offered consistently, but this was not a party boat. Great for low-key couples and families. I highly recommend this excursion!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

We are so happy you had a fantastic time with us! Thank you for this lovely review and recommendation. We hope to see you again one day!

a beautiful day on the water.

Robert_R, Dec 2023

The skipper and crew were fantastic and the meal was great. Unfortunately there was little wind so we relied on the motor to whole way. I would recommend that the company provide a ride to and from hotel, many other boats do and charge far less for the overall experience. We were there with two other couples and perhaps the most fantastic thing about this experience unlike other tours, was the small number of other people on the boat. They were both great and we enjoyed meeting them.

Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback

Great day on the water

Cynthia_C, Dec 2023

Wonderful day on the water. Three very nice stops. Everything you need is available. The captain and chef were great. The food was very good and most anything you wanted to drink was there. We only had 8 passengers, so it was really nice not being over crowed. We would go again for sure.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

We are so happy to hear you had a wonderful time and we would love to have you back again for another great day!

An excellent time

Kelly_W, Nov 2023

Ben and Alouis are an amazing crew! We loved that it wasn’t packed with people and the food was fantastic! It felt like being on a boat with friends rather than on an excursion. It’s a definite “must do” when in Sint Maartan!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for your lovely review and recommendation! We are so happy to hear you loved your experience with us and look forward to welcoming you back on board!

The best excursion ever!

Carl_M, Nov 2023

We had an outstanding time. It was comfortable, fun, relaxed, and the crew were very warm, knowledgeable and easy to talk with. We would highly recommend this for families or fun adult groups. All of the food was really great. Alouise (captain) and Sulem (cook and first mate) made our trip the best we’ve had on the island! Sorry for misspelling of names! We saw lots of fish and turtles.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted you had and outstanding time and hope you'll join us again one day!
