What To Expect
Little Bay
We will pick you up at Bobby's Marina at the wooden gazebo in front of Aziana's restaurant. After a short safety briefing, we will cast off along the beautiful shoreline of Sint Maarten. Get comfortable on board, and find your own private spot. Our first stop will be at Little Bay. This small pretty beach is well protected by the outcrop of Fort Amsterdam right on the edge of Philipsburg. There you can enjoy a one hour guided snorkel tour with plenty of sea life, a sunken helicopter and submarine. This is the perfect spot to explore the tropical underwater world. For our snorkelling enthusiasts, Little Bay offers one of the rare beach snorkel locations, as the waters here are generally calm due to its 'cove like' nature and also the installation of solid rocky beach breaks. This makes it an ideal spot for children and beginners, and you can also use our selection of water equipment thus there is plenty to do for all of our guests.
Maho Beach
We will slowly sail by at Maho Beach, located across the Princess Juliana International Airport runway, where we will watch planes take off and land - depending on plane schedules. We cannot stop there but will try to catch a plane above our mast. An absolutely astonishing view to enjoy while having a cold beverage or socializing at the inside bar. Have yourself a drink (cocktails, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages), and allow our hostesses to spoil you. After watching the planes, we will cast off to our next stop, Mullet Bay.

5.00I wish we could leave more than 5 stars! From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing. We were fortunate not to have too many people on board, which made it easy to move around & fully enjoy the experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive & professional the entire time. The food prepared by Camille was a definite 10/10 & special kudos to Tony & the Captain for making this such a memorable trip. I would highly recommend this catamaran excursion to anyone considering it. If you’re looking for great views, amazing service, delicious food & an overall fantastic experience, this is it! Thank you all for an unforgettable day!
The boat had so many...

3.00The boat had so many rules that made the boat experience not as fun. They told us we couldn’t play our own music and that they had their own playlist which wasn't good nor exciting for everyone on the boat. We had to ask a few times to play our own music! It was very boring. They supplied food but there were no options to pick from such as pescatarian or vegan options. They did make sure to keep us with drinks and snacks the entire ride. The staff were nice but very strict.. We are adults at the end of the day, they have to loosen up a little. The main thing we didn’t like was that at the end of the boat ride the bartender/cook stood in front of our shoes with a tip box which forced people to tip . They should not do that to people when we already paid a lot for the boat experience . It has potential to be a good boat but they need to work on a few things.
A beautiful day on the sea

5.00We had a wonderful day with Sail the Phoenix! The crew were so friendly, attentive and hospitable and they made the effort to make the day special for all those onboard. We would book the crew again for our next trip to st Maarten.
Everyone was so friendly....

5.00Everyone was so friendly. Great crew, great guests and everyone else on the excursion was friendly! I think this would be tough if you have any trouble getting around and are not "sure footed" as the boat can get rocky and there are lots of uneven surfaces just by design of the beautiful catamarans so that is one thing to be aware of before you book. The day was amazing. Great timing for every aspect of the trip- nothing felt rushed. My entire family: 54 (m), 54 (f), 25 (m) and 22 (m) enjoyed and would recommend!
