Best Island for Sailing/Snorkeling ?

I have another question... While we (2 adults, 2 teens) are in the Eastern Caribbean, we would like to take a day trip on a private sail boat for snorkeling, etc. (have gotten some great suggestions on this Board) and then at another Port, go to a beautiful beach (with some activities). I originally was looking at sailing while we were in St. Thomas, but noticed there are some for St. Maarten.

Would you suggest we keep it the same, and perhaps visit (I think) its the Orient Beach in St. Maarten??
Thank you!

I would suggest you do the sailing in St Thomas- a day sail to St John for snokeling and swimming, and then visit Orient Beach in St Maarten. Orient Beach is a beautiful beach with great water for swimming, and has rows of beach restaurants with good food. There are cabanas set up on the beach where you can get a massage if you want. Don't be put off by the many postings about the nude beach. It's way down on the far end of Orient, and even if some of the "nudies" wander up towards your end of the beach, it's just a novelty and they fade away quickly.

For St Thomas, try www.interlinesail.com for a day sail/snorkel trip to St John. We recommend them highly for a fun day on the water.
