The Best Catamaran Day Sail in St Maarten (public, not private)
Description
Sail in the Caribbean paradise of St Maarten on a casual yet upscale cruise within walking distance from the cruise ships and close to most resorts. Some days we leave from Philipsburg and other days we leave from Simpson Bay. Your day includes real sailing, homemade lunch and unlimited drinks from the open bar. Relax on a cushioned seat in the sun or shade aboard Random Wind or Random Wind Too as you travel up the coast. These family-friendly yachts take you away from it all; snorkeling, paddle boarding and plenty of fun on board with the TARZAN SWING! Enjoy personal attention on this small-group tour, limited to 30 guests on one and 35 on the other. Random Wind Too is licensed for 40 guests plus crew but we will usually limit it to 35 unless you have a big group. Please let us know if you are traveling with others under separate bookings and want to be on the same boat.
Tour Options
Itinerary
We usually stop twice during the day both; stops are in the Caribbean Sea. We don’t go into the Atlantic Ocean. At the first we snorkel, paddle board, kayak, swim to the beach, hang with noodles.....and have lunch. We shop each morning. Marinated chicken skewers, captain grilled, green salad, baguette, lovely Caribbean rice. Would you like a rum punch with that? At the second stop we swing from the Tarzan swing. Those between 2 and 89 have enjoyed this easy, safe and super fun trapeze-type swing. The bar is always open and included and if you are hungry after swinging - or laughing - have a snack!
This could be the first stop or it could be the second stop depending on the day and the conditions of the sea.

This was a great experience!!! The captain, Mel, and Alisa were amazing! Very nice and friendly. We enjoyed ourselves. Instructions were very clear and we felt comfortable.
This was such an amazing excursion! Diane and her crew made my whole group feel welcomed and loved! It was my husbands birthday and she went above and beyond! The whole group loved the crew and everything that was included. Definitely 10/10!!
I had such a great experience on the catamaran tour in St. Maarten! The entire process of getting on the boat was pretty easy and organized, and the views were absolutely amazing. The lunch they served was good, and the team members on the boat were friendly, attentive, and very helpful throughout the trip. There was plenty of rum punch, great energy, and good vibes the entire time! 🍹🌴 The only small criticism I had was the music selection, it wasn’t necessarily my personal taste, but it definitely fit the overall vibe of the experience. Overall, I had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing way to enjoy the beautiful waters of St. Maarten!
We had an amazing time on the Random Winds catamaran day tour. We had a large party and the team was so accommodating! The staff were so attentive and made sure we had drinks in our hands at all times! The lunch was delicious (chicken, salad and rice) and 5 hour was the perfect amount of time to spend out on the water! This was my second time on this boat and I definitely rebook them the next time I am in Sint Maarten.
This was by far the best experience! Anna and Mel were a pleasure to sail with. Food was INCREDIBLE, drinks were delicious and the service was amazing. For those who get sea sick, they provide ginger chewies to help. We went on the paddle board, tarzan swing and snorkeled at each stop.
Thank you!

Thanks!
I had an amazing experience on the catamaran sail! The crew was attentive, friendly, and kept the drinks flowing throughout the trip. They even made custom drinks when requested. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the instructions were clear. The snorkeling spots were great, and I even overcame my fear by trying the tandem swing. I loved it so much that I went on three more times! Highly recommend this experience! 🌊⛵️💙
Yay you!
Took a chance booking an excursion not using Celebrity and it was the best choice we made! The staff on this catamaran is family and they treat you like family. They are extremely attentive, calm, and relaxed. They never stopped serving drinks and attending to everyones needs. The Tarzan swing was a fun surprise, there was an area to sit around a table out of the sun yet plenty of room on the bow to sit.They limit the amount of people so it's easy to move around. Usually this kind of trip is packed & overplayed-not this one. The catamaran was extremely clean, the lunch was freshly grilled on board and was surprisingly good. After snorkeling & floating they had mini appetizers which held us over for the trip back. We were back within an hour of setting sail. Easy to walk to from the cruise port no Uber needed. This was a relaxing, beautiful day on/in the water. Ages within our group 6-78 and all were comfortable and happy.
Thank you!!
Overall had a beautiful experience the staff and food and hospitality was amazing. The only thing two I would suggest would be pointing out different landmarks on the island and have more up vibe music.
Thank you.
