Been on island 14 times, yet never did a sailing excursion. This just might be the year. For those of you that have done a catamaran tour advise please. I seemed to have narrowed it down to Celine Charters on the Enigma C3 or with sxmstmartincatamarincharters on Freedom II. Any recommendations for either one?
Positives or negatives?

Been sailing with Neil on Celine/Enigma since 2003. You can't go wrong. Amazing boat, amazing food, tons of fun.

Not interested in Aqua Mania...not looking for a booze cruise type of rowdy atmosphere. Friends were on it and didn’t enjoy the animal like atmosphere.

Another vote for Celine. Met Neil in 1996 with the original Celine and have logged many a miles on all 3 boats.
Will be down in about 6 weeks and back on board 😎
Great food, fun,any kind of drinks and a very knowledgeable Captain 👍

Over many years we’ve done a lot of boat trips and while I’ve never done the Celine I’ve only heard good things about it.
We have also done a few trips on the Eagle tour eco cat trips and they were very good. A nice large cat and they don’t pack you on like sardines. For sure I would NOT call it a party boat. Ddrinks were flowing but not with a party hearty approach.
One of the very best trips we’ve ever done was Miriam and Piets’ daysail on the Passaat which sadly was lost to the storm Irma a few years ago. They have a new boat, a cat which is what you asked for, and while I’ve not yet done their new trip yet, I’m willing to bet it will be a great sail when we do. I believe the name of the boat is No 1 SXM or something very similar to that.
Theirs is a low key true sail, not a booze cruise party hearty sail but a true day. or evening if that’s your pleasure, of sailing. The food was delicious and the wine flowed upon request. I personally can’t wait to do one of their sails on our next island trip and based on past experiences with them, I know it will be a great sail. My daughter has done it a few times already and enjoyed it as well. 😊😊
Respectfully,

We’ve been sailing with Neil for two decades when visiting the island. He is the absolute best. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

Celine with Capt. Neil is the way to go without any doubt's. We will be back onboard in June. You will be so happy that you chose him.
