Select participants and date
The marina smells of diesel and salty citrus as riders check straps and gauges. Engines chitter into life and the Atlantic answers, a broad shoulder pushing under the jet skis. For sixty minutes the island of Saint Martin unspools: a ribbon of white sand, the distant silhouette of Anguilla, and coves where the sea seems to hold its breath. The guide eases the group into a cruising rhythm; waves part, spray cools faces, and the water alternates between mirror-flat bays and playful chop where the jet skis bite and accelerate.

Protect camera gear
Use a waterproof case or float strap for phones and cameras—spray and unexpected waves are common.
