Description

Join us on a family-friendly cruise departing next to the cruise ship terminal at 10:00 am. Your amazing day will include sailing, a delicious homemade lunch and refreshments from our high quality open bar. Enjoy beach time, snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking and even more fun while trying our Tarzan swing. We provide personal attention on this small-group tour which is limited to 32 people.


Meet us at 9:45 am at Dock Maarten marina, only 10 minutes walk from the cruise ship terminal, and board our comfortable catamaran with your family and friends. Find a cozy spot on the cushioned seats and enjoy the warm Caribbean weather. Our two main stops are Mullet Bay and Little Bay. Occasionally, we might leave from Simpson Bay if we only have hotel guests. We will specify the departure point after reservation.


Once everybody is on board we will sail out and start our 5-hour adventure along the dazzling coastline of St. Maarten. On our way to the first stop, we will pass by the mile long Simpson Bay beach before arriving to Mullet Bay. You will spend 1.5 hour to enjoy everything this spectacular spot has to offer. You can also grab a paddle board or kayak and perfect your skills. It is great for balancing and so much fun as you try to stand on it.


We will serve the delicious, home made lunch on board, so you can accompany your meal with a stunning view, fresh air and the warmth of the sun. Enjoy the tranquility of the place and the delightful, authentic tastes of a typical Caribbean meal.


On the way to the next stop, will pass by the famous Maho Beach where we might be lucky enough to see the planes landing over our heads. However, please note that we cannot guarantee to see large passenger planes.


Our second stop is the hidden Little Bay where you can swim and snorkel among schools of fish and vivid corals. And of course, you will have the chance to grab the Tarzan swing and jump into the water! It is an easy, safe and super-entertaining trapeze swing and is a must for every adventurous spirit on board.


Enjoy our open bar with high quality refreshments as we head back to our starting point close to the cruise ship terminal at 3:00 pm. You will still have loads of time of your day to stay on the beach or keep exploring this Caribbean gem.

So much fun. Anna, Luke and Dom did an amazing job the entire trip. Constantly walking around to make sure everyone was happy and had everything they needed (cocktails too). So friendly!
Our trip started with a quick rain storm but that did not slow them down. 2 great stops with paddle boards, kayaks and snorkeling. Last stop was the tarzan swing! Definitely a must try! Food was delicious. Our day was perfect. Thanks to you all

I hope you asked for something else or to have your drink made again, exactly the way you like it. No one should suffer through Eh drinks while have a magical time.

They were so fun and energetic! You can really tell how much they love their jobs and the island. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt as comfortable as you can because unfortunately I got very sea sick and Anna did everything she could to make me feel better. We were super impressed with the lunch they served! Favorite part was Captain Luke throwing beers to us while we floated in the water with our noodles! Such an awesome day and would highly recommend!

They waited on us hand and foot and always made sure we had whatever we needed, especially a drink in hand! They made us feel right at home and we had the best day ever. From the great music playing all day, to the snorkeling, paddle boarding, and Tarzan swing... we had endless fun and laughs!

Reviewed by TootsieM on July 29, 2019
We had an amazing day out on the water with Luke and his wife Darcy. The boat had plenty of shade and areas for sunning yourself and was very comfortable. We went to La Samanna for swimming/snorkeling and Mullet Bay. The plated lunch of skewered chicken and coconut rice was delicious. Great cocktails were served. A highlight when we got to Mullet Bay was the Tarzan swing for whoever was adventurous. We would definitely recommend this activity if you want a shorter day on the water since it is from 10am-3pm, 5 hours.

This is totally worth the money and time. We had a family of 8, our kids range from 5 years old to 20. We had a blast, beautiful water and stops. We snorkeled around lots of fish, and sunken helicopter. Tons of fun with the swing and swimming. The owners take excellent care of you the whole time. This was our favorite excursion, and was easy to get to them from the cruise ship.

This was our second time doing the half day sail with Random Wind. We were picked up a short walk from the cruise ship. Anna, Luke, and Prince were the perfect hosts. The food and drinks were delicious and plentiful. We snorkeled, used the paddle boards and jumped from the tarzan swing. Sailing along the coastline was
amazing and made me decide to return to St Maarten for our next vacation and stay the week instead of a day. I can't wait until next year and we can do this awesome day trip again! And if they have a sunset sail, we may do that as well!
