About this tour
Sail in the Caribbean paradise of St Maarten on a casual yet upscale cruise within walking distance from the cruise ships and close to most resorts. Some days we leave from Philipsburg and other days we leave from Simpson Bay. Your day includes homemade lunch and unlimited drinks from the open bar. Relax on a cushioned seat in the sun or shade aboard Random Wind or Random Wind Too as you travel up the coast. These family-friendly yachts take you away from it all; snorkeling, paddle boarding and plenty of fun on board with the TARZAN SWING! Enjoy personal attention on this small-group tour, limited to 30 guests on one and 35 on the other. Random Wind Too is licensed for 40 guests plus crew but we will usually limit it to 35 unless you have a big group. Please let us know if you are traveling with others under separate bookings and want to be on the same boat. We have two meeting places. WE WILL EMAIL THE MEETING PLACE. Please ignore what it says on your ticket, and watch your email.

Itinerary
- 1Mullet BayWe usually stop twice during the day both; stops are in the Caribbean Sea. We don’t go into the Atlantic Ocean. At the first we snorkel, paddle board, kayak, swim to the beach, hang with noodles.....and have lunch. We shop each morning. Marinated chicken skewers, captain grilled, green salad, baguette, lovely Caribbean rice. Would you like a rum punch with that? At the second stop we swing from the Tarzan swing. Those between 2 and 89 have enjoyed this easy, safe and super fun trapeze-type swing. The bar is always open and included and if you are hungry after swinging - or laughing - have a snack!
- 2Little BayThis could be the first stop or it could be the second stop depending on the day and the conditions of the sea.
