We had a great time on the Rum Belly on 5/12. Our Captain navigated some rough waters and weather really well and kept the ride smooth and fun! The snorkeling spots were AMAZING with lots of different kinds of fish, a sunken helicopter, and a submarine. We saw turtles and rays and really had a great time. We would definitely book this tour again and highly recommend it.

Three in our group came down with Covid. Couldn’t make the trip, but because we were charged early by Viator, we couldn’t get our money back. No way to cancel inside 24 hours.

I'm very sorry but this is Viatour's policy. Not fair to blame us. You cancelled once and I rescheduled you and then you wanted to cancel at the last minute a second time when your space was confirmed and lunch was prepared. Because you cancelled twice we had to go out with less than the minimum and we lost money. Again, I understand your pain at the loss but it is not our policy.

The BEST Excursion on St. Maarten!!
Jessica_S
, May 2022
The whole process was very smooth sailing, beginning with booking the trip all the way to arriving the day of our excursion. The staff was very friendly and very personable. My family and I had Anthonie as our Captain for the day, and we were very impressed with all the knowledge he had about the island, and amazed at all the spots he took us. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the island! I have celiac, and for lunch they were able to accommodate my lunch needs which was also very awesome.

Best snorkeling ever

We drove from our resort and were delighted that there was secure parking so close to the dock. Our Captain was so knowledgeable and took time and care to advise us of all that needed to happen to keep us safe and respect the natural areas we were visiting. The boat ride was wild - this was my first time on a speed boat and I loved every minute. The tour guide aspect of the ride was excellent! Our captain has a great sense of humor while being direct about to to do and not to do. He brought to phenomenal snorkeling areas and provided a perfect light lunch. Rum drinks and beers were free flowing too. I highly recommend Captain Bob’s boat trip to everyone! Seeing sea turtles feeding on the bottom was a delight. The variety of fishes on the reefs were just amazing

We had an amazing time with Captain Brett. This was easily one of our favorite snorkeling boat tours that we've been done. Our tour saw everything from rainbow fish, to turtles, to even a squid! Plus it was a fun and stunning ride to all the destinations around the island. Drinks and lunch were yummy (food happened to be from one of my favorite bakeries in St Maarten ha!). Captain Brett was able to easily accommodate a gluten free allergy in my group just make sure you message beforehand.

Captain Brett was great. Ride was excellent. Great views of island. Only saw one turtle and no rays but that's how nature is, hit or miss. Saw many fish at last snorlel stop. Nice swim at Mullet Bay. Would definately recommend.

Fun way to spend a day
Andrew_B

We spent the day on the Rum Belly with Antonie as our captain. It was lots of fun. The boat was fast and we hit some big waves.(Perhaps not the best if you’re prone to sea sickness…) It was a good way to see half of the island. We stopped at a couple snorkeling locations — the reefs aren’t the best but we did see lots of fish, some turtles and our friends saw an eel. Learned some history of the island. All in all a fun day.
