TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Billy Bones Full Day Tintamarre Charter

Just returned from day trip with firstmate Chris and driver Kevin on Billy Bones full day Tintamarre charter on a 36' speedboat.. It really was a ton of fun. Leaving out of Simpson Bay, we visited Creole Rock for snorkeling and more snorkeling at Tintarmarre for a swim with the turtles. Totally awesome.
I can also recommend the full day sail with Neil on the Celine II, but more of a chiil out trip on a catamaran.
Next we fed the iguanas on Pinnel Island and visited the sugar birds at the Paradisio boutique. The lunch included was at Rainbow in Grand Case. They have a wonderful beach that is definitely overlooked and serve great food. This restaurant is now on our must visit list. We had been there last week because of the recommendations of fellow TTOL reviews. We finished up with a dip at Long Bay at La Sammana.
We briefly stopped to see other beaches and the homes of many rich and famous.
Chris the first mate really makes the trip.
The trip is geared to letting loose and having fun.
One suggestion for those with back problems, sit in the rear while traveling on the windward side of the island.
I will mention that correspondence was excellent via email to book this trip and answering any questions.
Sorry to make this sound like a sell, but it was a wonderful day trip.

My sister and her family were there in July and took this excursion. They loved it as well. She said it was so much fun! I'm putting it on our "must do" list for our next trip.

Just make sure to request Chris as 1st mate.
He made the trip.

I have a question.. was the lunch at Rainbow a fixed menu? thanks

You had a choice of the usual salads and burger along with a delicious tuna tar-tar, beef tar-tar (very rich) and a nicely done mahi-mahi. The two boat staff serve and clear so no additional money needed at rainbow unless you want to purchase a cocktail. After lunch, two jumbo bottles of infused rum is put on table and it could get a little crazy.
Chris makes sure everyone drinks who wants too. Not a college type party, but good adult fun.

Sounds fun! What do you think Mrs BBeach? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/drown.gif" alt="" />

Sounds good! But someone needs tickets first! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" />
