TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Island taxi/tour guidance for small group

We'll be chartering with Sunsail the last week of May but will be spending 2 nights at GCBC after we turn the boat back in. We have a group of nine. Four "experienced" adults and five young adults (20-24 yrs old).
We'd like to spend one of the days bopping around the island hitting some bars, restaurants and shopping. I'm thinking places like Sunset Bar & Grill, Karakters, hanging out in Philipsburgh, etc. We'll end up back in Grand Case for dinner.
Any suggestions or contact info on a taxi that could accommodate our group and show us around?
ANy ideas on a lunch place, too? I think we want to be at Sunset B&G from around 1pm to 3pm but probably lunch someplace else before that.
Thanks

For the taxi, I can heartily recommend TTOL sponsor Wilfred Brooks. He is punctual, he is professional, knowledgeable and a heck of a nice guy!! You can do a SEARCH for "Wilfred Brooks" here and I think you will find many great comments on his service!

Do you have any suggestions for a place for the guys to hang out (with cold beers and good people watching) when we get tired of following the girls around in Philipsburgh?
We'll contact Wilfred about transportation. Thanks.

Try Talouala Mango's / Blue Bitch bar on the boardwalk - same place not sure why 2 names
People watching, sometimes music out front and a view of the cruise ship[s

J&B

Dirty Sanchez Crew Bar makes killer mojitos with a lot of alcohol. Great service from Marcel (young Dutch owner) who gives out free shots frequently. Definitely a fun party bar
on the boardwalk.

Lazy lizard is pretty good too.

We'll give those spots a try. Thanks for the info.
