We did this excursion on our last visit to St. Maarten and it was fantastic! My DH was a grinder and I got to be a Winch Wench! They had jobs for everyone, from time keeper, grinder, others I cannot remember, all the way to the most important job: barkeeper! Everyone had a marvelous time. We were lucky enough to draw the Stars and Stripes! We beat True North I. ! I got to sail the boat back into the harbor. It was wonderful! I would recommend this excursion for anyone.
Afterwards we had enough time to go to Dawn Beach for a relaxing time snorkeling.
Have a great cruise, no matter what you decide to do!
