You step aboard a low-slung Donzi 35' at Anse-Marcel Marina and the day immediately shifts into motion: twin 300 hp engines hum, the bow cuts spray, and the islands open up ahead. The captain—two decades on these waters—reads currents and shortcuts with the same ease he uses to point out the quiet coves and reef bands where fish gather.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.
Operated by Paper Boat Charter · Anse-Marcel, Collectivity of Saint Martin (French part)
You step aboard a low-slung Donzi 35' at Anse-Marcel Marina and the day immediately shifts into motion: twin 300 hp engines hum, the bow cuts spray, and the islands open up ahead. The captain—two decades on these waters—reads currents and shortcuts with the same ease he uses to point out the quiet coves and reef bands where fish gather.
The route threads French and British Caribbean: sheltered bays on St. Martin’s northeastern rim, a fly-by of Maho Beach where jet blast makes the shoreline pulse, then east into Anguilla’s clear shallows for snorkeling and a seaside lunch. Geology here is limestone and uplifted coral; shallow banks and fringing reefs create pockets of crystal water that invite masks and fins. Culturally, you’ll pass French-side marinas and small Anguillan beach restaurants that keep seafood simple and sun-ready.
Practically, the boat is fast and comfortable, with a full open bar, snacks, a giant floating mat, and snorkeling gear included. Expect short hops between spots, bouts of high speed, and calm anchorages for swimming. Bring passport and reef-safe sunscreen, and plan to pay for lunch onshore. Seas can be placid or choppy depending on trade winds—your captain will pick spots to suit the conditions and group energy.
This is a full-day, easy-level cruise best for travelers who want a private, flexible way to sample both islands’ beaches, reefs, and marine life with minimal fuss and maximum local know-how.
