My gf and I did this excursion twice (we were on Caribbean cruises) in Dec. 2019 and Feb. 2020 (ignore the date below.) It was so much fun and I highly recommend it. If you have never gone snorkeling before, this is a good choice. For folks who are older or aren't great swimmers, don't worry; you MUST wear an inflatable vest and there are lots of people swimming around with you. The crew was really friendly, just take it easy on the rum and rum punch and be sure to drink water too. Sasha and the crew will overpour you for sure!…

The crew is very friendly and knowledgeable about the island. The water is crystal clear and the crew was able to answer all our questions about the fish and sights under the water. Our group of six all agree this was the highlight of our 7 day trip!

We had a wonderful time snorkeling & sailing to St. Bart's! The waters were choppy on the way to St Bart's but the crew was super helpful in making us comfortable. Snorkeling was incredible and the food for lunch was good. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

We went on a four hour excursion while docked at Philipsburg on the Marella Celebration. There were around 30 passengers with four crew, skippered by Learie. It was a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon. The first stage was a 45 minute snorkelling expedition, catering for all skill levels. There were plenty of fish to enjoy, although the overall visibility was not brilliant on the day in question. Once completed the rum punches flowed. The next stage was to cross the bay underneath the flightpath for the island’s international airport. Bobbing in the waves as enormous planes passed less than 50 metres above us was both awesome and terrifying. Plenty of time for snaps and videos. The final part was Mullet Beach, the next bay along from the airport. A typically beautiful Caribbean beach with white sand and turquoise sea. The Golden Eagle moored a short distance from the beach and we all swam ashore. Our ever-attentive crew delivered a large cool box by means of a small inflatable to the beach, in case anyone fancied more grog. We had the best part of an hour there to relax on the sand or splash about in the waves. Once all on board we made our way back to Philipsburg. We were served with baguettes, washed down with champagne. As before, our glasses were regularly replenished. A most enjoyable experience.…

We went on this excursion as the only planned thing off the ship. It did not disappoint! Staff was great keeping our cups filled with rum punch and brought us sandwiches! First stop was snorkeling right off the boat and then to watch planes land at the St. Maarten airport. Then to swimming to a beach or just jumping off the boat or floating on a noodle! Thanks for a great trip! Lots of fun!…
