Wish I had booked a full day - Sean had extensive knowledge of the island and was a blast to hang out with! Freedom to swim pretty much anywhere. Kids first time snorkeling and they loved it!

So much fun! - My husband and I went on this snorkeling trip and it was so much fun! We’ve talked about it since, how we’re so happy we did it! We saw so many different things while snorkeling, like a manta-ray, starfish, conch shells, sea turtles, etc. Shaun was AMAZING, he made us feel so safe and comfortable, and did his best to make sure we had a great experience.

Great day of snorkeling - My kids and I had a great time with Captain Roy and Joshua. The snorkeling was great and Roy was a great guide and told us what to look for and gave us a lot of information about St. Maarten. I highly recommend this trip.

The Price is Right - My wife and I had a great time with Cpt Sean. I appreciate how we kept to the schedule. Nice and laid back on a good boat with good equipment and just the right selection for refreshments. I'll do this again next year.

Great, Fun, Perfect snorkeling tour as family activity - Took this snorkeling tour with my husband and my son (8yrs). It was perfect tour that took only half day, but enough time to snorkel around Creole Rock where lots of fishes around. Most importantly captain of the boat and crew are super attentive and offered us drinks and snacks, have very fun energy that made everything memorable!

Great snorkel trip! - Had a great time snorkeling and seeing different parts of the island. We saw turtles and many kinds of fish. My daughter saw a sting ray. Sean was a great captain and host. He offered to take pictures of our family while snorkeling. I would recommend this tour!

Do not miss this incredible adventure! - Don't miss this awesome trip! I can't say enough good things about it. This is so much more than just snorkeling - it's truly a guided tour of the island with the most amazing Captain Shawn. Shawn went above and beyond to tell us about the history of the island, answer all of our questions, help us with our snorkeling equipment, play great music, serve great drinks and make the afternoon so special. I could go on and on! Please thank Captain Shawn for making our entire visit to the island. I know great things are in his future.

Sailing and the Sea - We had a wonderful day with Captain Sean on our sail. He was very accommodating and constantly searching and pointing out things for us to see which included turtles, dolphins, and landmarks. He is very knowledgeable about SXM. Sean made sure we were safe at all times and that we stayed hydrated and also enjoyed some snacks. For me, as an older sailer, he anticipated and provided assistance when needed. It was a great way to see SXM from the sea and Sean did an excellent job, Thank you, Sean.

Snorkeling, Dolphins & Suds - We spent a fantastic afternoon with a great group! Our captain, ''Shawn'' I think , was full of information and he also had plenty of adult beverages on board which is why I'm not sure about captain's name! We were lucky to see about a dozen dolphins up close which even impressed Shawn!

Captain Sean is the absolute best - I tried to send this by letter but it was returned, so here it is: I am writing you with reference to a great experience my I had on one of your boat tours due to outstanding customer service by one of your associates, Captain Sean of the Sand Dollar Tour. I took the morning tour on December 22nd and was delighted by Sean's friendliness and knowledge of your beautiful island which he shared with me and the other passengers. Sean went above and beyond to make our experience on the tour really special. He was especially good with a family with six children, so he must also be incredibly patient and kind. I hope you will pass on our sincere thanks and gratitude to Sean and ask that this letter be placed in his employee file as our thanks for his help, kindness, and professional demeanor during the tour. I want to thank you for your time in this matter.
