Eagle Tours St. Maarten | Catamaran Snorkel & Beach Charters from Philipsburg
Best Catamaran Day Trips & Snorkel Cruises from the Cruise Port — Bobby’s Marina, Philipsburg | We Are SXM, Tourist Info Center
Sail around St. Maarten, snorkel Creole Rock & Tintamarre, or cruise to Anguilla & St. Barths — with free hotel pick-up and just a 15-minute walk from the cruise ship pier.
Eagle Tours is one of St. Maarten’s original catamaran and powerboat tour companies, sailing every day from Bobby’s Marina in Philipsburg on the Dutch side. The dock is just a 15-minute walk from the cruise ship pier, so cruise visitors can step off the ship and straight onto a catamaran — no taxi needed.
Even better, every full-day charter includes free hotel pick-up and drop-off, an open bar, a homemade BBQ lunch, and all the snorkel gear, vests, and noodles, so you simply climb aboard and enjoy the day at sea.
Choose a full-day eco sail right around St. Maarten and St. Martin with snorkel stops at Tintamarre and Creole Rock and plane-spotting at Maho Beach, a crossing to Anguilla’s Prickly Pear Cays and the white sand of Meads or Cove Bay, or a full day on glamorous St. Barths by fast ferry, exploring the boutiques and beaches of Gustavia.
Short on time or traveling with the family? Eagle Tours also runs shorter trips from the same central Philipsburg marina.
The 6-hour Tropical Sailing, Snorkel & Beach Tour cruises the calm leeward coast with a snorkel stop at Little Bay, a beach anchor, floating bar and buffet lunch, while the 3-hour Snorkel & Coastal Cruise is perfect for cruise passengers who want reefs, music and a beach break before heading back to their ship.
Prefer land and sea in one day? The Go Dutch tour pairs a guided Philipsburg shopping morning with an afternoon snorkel sail, and the Champagne Sunset Cruise offers a romantic evening with French champagne and an open bar.
Groups can book a private catamaran charter and design their own itinerary to Anguilla or St. Barths. Pick your catamaran tour below, check live availability, and book your Caribbean day at sea today.

Had an time today! Captain Mario, first mate Samir and Selina were fantastic!
Had a great time aboard the Seaduction with captain Molina and first mate James. Awesome day trip and even reeled in a barracuda for a bonus! Good food and drinks as well. Highly recommended.
What an incredible outing in the sun, swimming, drinking and water activities. Incredible crew, amazing boat, great music and fabulous day for what it's worth. Would go once more!
The staff here is incredible! They are super friendly and made the experience great. Our driver was great, he was knowledgeable and funny. Made the experience enjoyable. A lot of fun! Would definitely go again!
The sail to Anguilla and Prickly pear was such a great tour! Mario and the other staff really went all the way to make our day a good one.
The food was nice, drinks were good and the view and tour was just like paradise should be. Not to forget the snorkeling in Prickly pear, we were lucky to see a Sea Turtle, such unique animals to see.
We loved it, thank you Eagle tours and see you next time Sint Maarten!
