We spent an entire day on the Swaliga II with Captain Bob. It was awesome. The boat was very festive, the snorkeling was good enough, the lunch was really good, and the open bar kept spirits high all day... It was a highlight of our trip. more

We spent two fantastic days on Swaliga2. The first was a snorkelling trip to Anguilla, which was pristine. Captain Bob and his trusty assistant Tebow were great. They handled the rough seas with ease and were attentive to everyone's needs. We had a fantastic day exploring a beautiful beach in Anguilla, lunch on Prickley Pear and then a last great... more

My friends and I had a great time aboard the Swaliga. We went to anguilla for snorkeling. The guys were friendly, fun, knowledgeable, competent, and very attentive to the passengers, right down to making sure each had a chance to get the right photos. They were perfect gentleman and made the trip a fun part of our visit to St.... more

Excellent charter, the crew think of everything to bring with them, food on board, great rum punch and margarita, and really knowledgeable of St. Barth's. The island is just amazing, FWI rocks, FWI islands are the most pristine and the least overbuild of all the the WI Islands. The charter stopped over at Il Foche for a quick snorkel, also... more

We spent a day on the Swaliga 2 this past week. We're not experienced snorkelers, but were given enough information to go out comfortably and confidently. The locations were amazing, the water was clear, the fish were stunning. Lunch at Prickly Pear was delicious. Captain Bob, first mate Josh and bartender Emily made the day extremely fun, relaxing and enjoyable.... more

We spent a day on the Swaliga II catamaran during the last week of April 2007. It was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it. The Swaliga is a medium-sized catamaran, not gigantic like some of the others in St. Martin. It has no sail, but powerful motors that enable it to travel quickly to three different snorkeling spots,... more

Lori and I have taken snorkeling trips throughout the Caribbean, Mexico and Hawaii but we just returned from a week in SXM and had a fantastic experience on the Swaliga II. The Swaliga II is berthed in the Dock Maartens and very convenient to Phillipsburg. The crew took us snorkeling at three different sites in Anguilla. The longest stop was... more
