Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My family with 3 kids (aged 4, 6, and 8) had a great day with our captain Sammy! We brought snorkel gear incase they did not have small enough sizes. They did have snorkels, but not flippers. They also had small life jackets and pool noodles to float on. Sammy made a killer Rum Punch and kept all the drinks flowing for both adults and kids. He had a great play list and had us all dancing in between stops. The tour lasted about an hour longer than it was supposed to (no problems for us)! We were very grateful for Sammy's knowledge, fun personality, and how great he took care of us. A few things travelers should know: the marine park fee was $30-$35 for our family of 5. This had to be paid in cash before the tour started. Also, the trip advisor tour I purchased said we would have lunch (not included) at Yellow Beach. We did not get to eat here, but were taken to another place where only cash was accepted. I think Yellow Beach would have been a better option. But the surprise cash requirements ate into my planned tip for Sammy.

We had an AMAZING experience on the boat with Captain Boy and the other people on the boat. From the moment we walked on we were met with smiles and laughter. The speed boat in itself was so much fun. Captain Boy played great music the entire time and we all mingled over beers and rum punch, what more do you need?? We snorkeled at a few different spots and it was a great experience each time. We saw lots of fish and even saw a turtle! The lunch at Grand Case was unlike any other meal we had, sooooo yummy. We ended the ride being pelted by a torrential downpour and it was actually so much fun. We karaoked our way through it! Such an amazing experience and would LOVE to do it again :) Shoutout to the BEST captain ☺️

Captain Nicholas was great. He rescued a pair of sunken sunglasses for 1 passenger and went out of his way to try to find a lost $700 drone on the turtle stop on the french side. I can't remember.the island's name, so now I call it Drone Island cuz the drone is still there having landed on a rock. The lunch stop was amazing. From tne outside and inside, the place is a shack. But the food was amazing and cooked on a charcoal grill with a fantastic combination of seasoning. The lady preparing the food was given a well deserved round of applause by my fellow shipmates.

Captain Nicholas and 1st Mate Diana provided wonderful hospitality while we hit beautiful snorkel destinations (Tintamar Island & Creole Rock) with a stop at the walk up beach at Pinelle Island, Rainbow beach for a spectacular lunch / drinks at the Rainbow cafe, yet another secluded beach for a swim, quick stop to watch the jets at Maha and then back. Only 11 people on our boat - plenty of space & great rum punch. We took the same tour last year and did it again because it was so wonderful. Highly recommend!!

Awesome day on the water w Brett. He said his goal was to make our day the best day of our vacation, & it’s exactly what happened. Very comfortable ride even though it was temporarily bumpy on occasion, he knows how to drive a boat & take care of guests. I’d give this tour an 11 plus..excellent day

I can't recommend Robinson Speed Boat Tours enough! Our captain was Adam and our first mate was Charlie. They did a great job making our tour special and told us all about the island. The customer service was top notch, the snorkeling spots were amazing, the provided snorkeling gear was good, and the boat was fast and beautiful. The tour also included plenty of rhum punch, cold beer, and an optional lunch at a great French restaurant.

The tour was fabulous from start to finish. Nicos and Charlie we’re very friendly, professional and informative. The boat was spacious, clean and well equipped. This was one of the best boat tours because it checked everything off our list. Snorkelling with an array of fish and turtles, feeding Iguanas and lounging on soft white sand beaches. If we ever have the pleasure of coming back to St. Maarten we wouldn’t hesitate to attend this tour again.

What an outstanding day it was! We had the best time ever. It was worth every penny. A full day on the water, viewing some of the most beautiful areas, and some of the hurricane hit areas as well, of St. Maarten. Fantastic boat and captain who gave us every minute on the water we were promised. It was my wife and 3 kids. We had a blast and would highly recommend this to anyone considering. I can assure you, we had more fun that day than any other passengers on the cruise ship, regardless of what excursions they booked. Ours was the best and the whole family agreed!

We had so much fun on this tour, saw some places around st. Maarten that we have never seen before and probably wouldn't have seen if we had booked an excursion through the ship. Great for port stops whilst on a cruise, Brett and Dylan were great, knowledgeable and easy going people who make you feel relaxed! Didn't see any turtles whilst snorkelling but did see one whilst on the boat. Our kids are age 4 and 9, both thoroughly enjoyed the day. Highly recommend that you book in advance

We were extremely displeased with the lack of notification the day before the scheduled trip. We tried calling the contact on the 30th, the 1st (day before the trip), and on the morning of the trip. We were unable to reach the tour operator and did not get an option to leave a message. I called 3 times and the store owner at the dock where we were supposed to meet the boat called twice. On my last attempt (after the time when the tour was supposed to leave 10am) I reached the tour operator and they told me it was canceled. My wife and I are very displeased with the level or total lack of customer service. We scheduled the tour 2 days in advance and because we were leaving to days later we missed our opportunity to go on an excursion.

Looking to book this excursion for the 3rd time. Any chance we can accommodate 15? I noticed it says hot lunch. Are you still serving sandwiches on the boat? Thank you.

We went in Aug. 2021 and the "hot lunch" was additional $ and at a restaurant on the French side of the island. There were 10 people on our boat.

Is the ride to various locations bumpy as my husband had back surgery 6 months ago and not sure if he will be able to take the bumping if it is bad. Do they go real fast from ne location to the other? We are coming in late March and I want to book but need to know these answers.
Marie
My husband can swim, stand and walk for short distances, but needs his wheelchair to get to the excursion meeting place. It is a fold up wheelchair and does not take up much space. Would we be able to store this on the boat. Prolonged standing or walking causes him pain. So we just need to store the wheelchair while we are on the boat. Just want to make sure we can do this before we book. Thanks for your reply
We are a group of 12 and would like to book a tour on 3/16. Would this be available, price and what is the max persons on the boat.
Thanks,
Kris

We are a party of 6 arriving January 9th on Harmony of the Seas. A couple questions:
If we book will it be a private tour with no additional passengers?
If the cruise ship can not make port for any reason will we receive a full refund?
Thank you

Tour groups are very small with this company, unlike many snorkel excursions I have taken elsewhere in the world so you should be quite happy with a regular booking. I don't know their refund policy.

We're coming to Saint Maarten in August on the Harmony of the Seas. Our call is 8am to 5pm. Will we have enough time for this excursion? I want to be sure that we're not pushing the envelope. Thank you.

I think you will be okay, we just went about 10 days ago and had a port time til 6. He had us back around 4 pm. If you communicate this with them that will be helpful as well. It is an AWESOME experience. We were not disappointed!

Is this excursion suitable for Toddlers? I have a 5 and 3.5 years old.

If they can swim you should be ok. The first stop we made was an open water snorkel so that’s a little tough for little ones. The beach location is great though with shallow water and lots of white sand. You do have to swim to shore so...also definitely take them snacks. The lunch we had was just sandwiches and kids may need more options. Expect to spend your whole day in the sun and on the water. Every kid is different so use your best judgement based on your kids needs.
