boat hire in Marigot · Lagoon — Lagoon 450 S (2017)

We walked through the cruise terminal, met our appointed representative, he flagged down our taxi and we were off ... Upon arriving about 40 minutes away, we met the captain who walked us down a pier. We were a little surprised we needed to hop in a small rubber boat to get out to the bigger boat - our party made to trip to the bigger boat successfully. Upon Angelique we were greeted by two very friendly boat owners. We were surprised neither really spoke English. While it made communicating a little challenging, we were able to express our wishes, and the crew was able to communicate safety, suggestions, important information and general info with us. We even learned a few French words. This boat was probably the best maintained boat we have rented the world over. Everything was pristine. We were greeted with some croissants, French butter, and small jars of honey & jelly. Truly a delight. Fresh orange juice was a delight. We got underway, headed over to a spot where some volcanic island meet, saw turtles swimming freely around our boat, the water was clear, blue and a tad chilly (December). Reserve Naturelle National de Saint Martin. We left that spot and headed to another in the Marigot area - the beach was beautiful - pristine water - we had a wonderful lunch. There were lots of water, sodas and wine to drink. We headed over to Orient Bay for some site seeing via boat and then headed back to the pier. We had a wonderful day taking it easy on the water, spending time with those that matter most and enjoying the sun, warm temperatures, great food and several pain killers - Angelique is a pro at making!!!
