I booked through Expedia for our Sint Maarten vacation. Mr. Ash emailed and asked when we wanted to sail since we had a 5-day window. I requested May 8th. He emailed back that they wouldn't sail that day but would on the 9th, either 9AM or 1AM. I said we'd go on the 1PM tour. We arrived 1-1/2 hours early... More

The Lord Sheffield is a wonderful ship with great and friendly crew. With only 21 passengers on board there was plenty of seating and you didn't feel crowded. The snorkeling site off the shore was great and all equipment including vests and noodles were included. After snorkeling the sales were hoisted and the ride was spectacular. All during the trip...

I am going to have to disagree with the majority here. Yes, the pirate boat theme and the location were all positives, but the amount of griime and filth were just more than my group could handle. The crew members were nice, but not at all concerned with hygeine. Even the captain that came to pick us up at the... More

I booked this excursion directly with the folks at Lord Sheffield because the rates were much lower than through the cruise ship. The ship was smaller and more intimate. The crew was super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our snorkel and our sail around the island. The food was good and my kids had a blast jumping from the bow... More

The tall ship had consistently good reviews on Trip Advisor so I reserved 4 spaces, 3 months in advance. (Only after I had booked did I realise that the cruise ship I was on offered the exact same excursion...... More

The food was prepared on board. It began with BBQ ribs & chicken; followed by imaginative, wonderful dishes that kept coming the whole 3 hours. What a... More

Great excursion in St. Maarten. We were a group of 17 and the ship only takes 25 so it was almost a private cruise! Great fun, our hosts were very friendly and the rum punch was great. We got to snorkel, swim, had lunch and then sail back. A wonderful day in beautiful St. Maarten! More

This was a very down home experience--nothing fancy--really relaxed--just us and the ocean and the sunset!! Fabulous! More

If you are looking for something outstanding to do in St Maarten - and don't do shopping why not check out the Lord Sheffield and its outstanding crew. I had previously booked the morning trip with the LS, but mechanical troubles caused our cruise ship to begin the docking procedure as I saw the ship leaving the harbor. I'm a... More
