Catamaran St. Maarten

[Janie and Mike]

I would like to highly recommend the Golden Eagle catamaran sail from Phillipsburg, St. Maarten to either Tintamarre or an alternative location, depending on sea conditions. The crew is fantastic and the catamaran ride was wonderful. The catamaran holds 100 people (130 had signed up, so they split us up into two catamarans) so we only had 65 on ours. Plenty of room for moving about. The snorkeling was fun as we had never done this before. All equipment was furnished (and clean). All the kids on board really enjoyed laying on the netting stretched across the front of the boat as the captain would sail into the waves and cause the water to come up through the netting. Lasted about 4 1/2 hours. Champagne, beer and sandwiches on the way back to the dock. Make reservations early...very popular.

My husband and I were considering this tour for our cruise in a couple of weeks and I was wondering if anyone had done it. My kids are only 7 and 9 and I was a little worried that they might be too young. Since it is pricey for a family of 4 I wanted to make sure that my kids would enjoy it too. Thanks for the input.
