Etienne was wonderful. He was very professional and knowledgeable about the island! He made sure to time our stops where we could avoid the crowded times. He was also extremely helpful and courteous on board, making our experience as relaxed as possible. It was very cool to see the highlights around the island. The boat was just the right size for our family of six. The private tour was wonderful since it allowed us to stay at each stop exactly how long we wanted to. We were on the boat from 9 am until around 5 pm. We chose to bring lunch instead of stopping for lunch, which turned out to be the best choice and gave us much more time to enjoy the boat and water. We stopped at Creole Rock first, then Beach La Samanna, then Happy Bay Beach, and lastly Tintamarre Island. We were hoping to stop at Pinel Island but were unable due to the choppy waves in that direction at the time (no big deal). We snorkled at each of these spots and got to see beautiful coral, colorful fish, and even sea turtles at Tintamarre (definitely the highlight of our trip). The paddle board and floating mat made enjoying the water even easier. He provided some light snacks, beer, rose, rum, and soft drinks.
Our day was absolutely perfect. We would recommend this trip to anyone visiting St. Martin, especially those interested in seeing the marine life and beautiful blue water around the island.
Elliott was a fantastic host and captain. He was accommodating when we had some last minute additions to our party, and found the best spots to anchor for some great swimming and relaxation. Would definitely book again next time I am in SXM.
Captain Etienne was wonderful! We had such a magnificent day! He took us to many different snorkeling areas and beaches and knew the island and water so well. He is definitely an experienced boat Captain and it shows as he navigated larger waves with ease and made us comfortable on board. We went to a perfect lunch spot and he was also great with our two younger kids. He has pretty much everything on board to accommodate a day in the water. Would absolutely recommend him and will book again next time we visit SXM.
My wife and I have a great day on the water with captain Etienne. We would highly recommend you book a trip with Paper Boat Charter
Elliott and the Boat were perfect! The boat easily fit 9 people and we went to numerous beaches for snorkeling and just refreshing swims. If you are looking for a great boat and captain, then this is the one.
Super nice experience with Captain Elliot, we had a blast! We went to Anguilla, our captain was super friendly and knowledgeable. We felt really secured and he drove us to the very best spots. Highly recommend!
