My husband and I sailed to Prickly Pear Cays on the Lamada with some friends in late April 2012. This was the best day of our entire trip to Sint Maarten. This excursion offered something for everyone in our party: sailing, snorkeling, swimming and sunbathing on a beautiful island in Anguilla. It was an entire day event [departing at ~9am... More

This snorkelling trip to Prickly Pear and lunch on a beach on Anguilla is definitely worth the $75! The cat is very clean and the crew are very helpful and safety conscious. They serve Gouda cheese, apple slices and fresh baguette slices along with Rum Punch on the cruise over to Anguilla. The snorkelling is good at Prickly Pear and... More

My friends and I went on the Lambada coastal cruise and had a wonderful time. Lambada is a 65' catamaran and sailed along the South coast of St. Maarten for 90 minutes. Guests were invited to help raise the sail, which was fun to watch. The crew was awesome!!! They danced, offered to take pictures of us, with our cameras... More

My wife and I were surprised that the operators actually sailed on the day we went, February 1. We woke early to significant downpours and we really though that the tour would be cancelled, but we got dressed and went to the pier, anyway. Clearly, this was not going to be cancelled -- sun and rain, intermixed. The ride was... More

This is a great trip for the whole family or for couples. Catamaran is very stable and 90 min trip past Anguilla is a beautiful sail w views of st Martin coastline. Crew is funny, helpful and always ready to pour a drink or serve a piece of gouda and french bread. Our day started at 815 where the registration,... More

We went on the Lambada for a day of sailing and snorkeling fun from St Maarten to Prickly Pear island. The catamaran is pristine clean and easy to board. The captain and crew do all they can to make your day fun. There is an open bar on board and the rum punch flows like water, but there are beers... More

Awesome trip to Prickly Pear - excellent service on the boat - Chin and Bobby made sure you never had an empty glass. Prickly Pear itself was incredible, a small tucked away island - great for snorkeling or just walking on beach. If you are in St. Maarten, I recommend this day tour. More
