Contacted Ian by phone after reading all the good reviews from other users. Came to the island on the Carnival Dream. Then just a short 10 minute walk from the cruise terminal to a local restaurant. His helper Kathryn met us there and then led us another 3 minute walk to the pier where the sailboat was parked. The rest... More

We had a great charter. Ian brought us to several Anguilla locations and two great spots in St. Maarten. We snorkeled and headed to a few picturesque locations. Ian (our captain) brought us for a tour around a great island bar/music venue and even played some beach volleyball with us. I would highly recommen using Ian and Adventure Sports Sailing... More

I first met Ian Martin over 20 years ago when he arrived in St. Maarten with his yacht that he built in South Africa. We chartered his boat and took our two sons ages 6&7 sailing and had the time of our lives. The following year we started going to St. Maarten with friends and always look forward to a... More

We have chartered with this guy on both his sail and power boats. We always come away saying it was the absolute highlight of our trip. We have sailed to Anguilla, Tintamarre, Sandy Island, and around St Maarten. The lunch that is served is way over the top for a saling charter with ribs, chicken, and sides, all served onboard...

Ian and his crew are knowledgeable and great fun - they know how to allow you to take part if you want to or simply sit back and relax. So if you want to learn a bit more about sailing or to just enjoy the ride - you will have a wonderful trip. His hospitality is renowned and if you're... More

An unforgettable, utterly repeatable experience - from the sailing to the banter to Ian's ribs to the snorkelling to the rum to the rest of the crew to the partying and to the silverware! Can't wait to get back to the island waterworld with an express ticket! This is a must do for anyone who loves water, sun, sand and... More

Ian Martin (paragonsailor@yahoo.com), proprietor of "Ace Express" and "Cheers" is a wonderful host who can show you the most on the water. Whether you're enjoying the meals/drinks made to order, actively sailing the boat or just sitting back taking in the view, you're sure to have a great time. "Ace Express" is a 50' custom made racing sailboat that you... More
