I was hesitant to take this cruise and only took it due to the Tango cruise not being operational. We were totally blown away at how great this evening was. The crew made you feel comfortable right from the beginning and never let your drink go dry. They took us to the French side for dinner. Before we got there... More

We prefer not to drive to the French side at night. This cruise , which leaves from the Pelican,provides an enjoyable scenic cruise of the lagoon and an opportunity to try a different restaurant. It is a little pricey at $75 per person. The young men running the boat were very informative about the various yachts we passed. Beer,wine,rum,punch, soda... More

The trip was nice, but tame. Just a boat ride to take in the sites. They played music and offered drinks. The food was great! From appetizer to dessert, we loved every bite!

Junior and Odie are the two young men that take you to Marigot for dinner by way of Simpson Lagoon. They took us up close to the beautiful yachts docked there, and provided us with alchoholic and non-alchoholic drinks on our way over and back from the marina in Marigot. We docked right in front of the restaurant and sat... More

We went on this dinner cruise (well... really a cruise TO a dinner) on the recommendation of hotel staff, and because it looked like the only one with a halfway decent destination for a reasonable amount of money ($65pp). The 5PM departure time was perfect for catching some amazing views of the sunset and Simpson bay. Good selection of drinks... More

Pleasant boat ride with accomodating hosts to Marigot and a really good dinner. Free drinks on the boat were limited choice, but served quickly and cheerfully. It was well worth the total price of $65.

Enjoyable evening cruise - Junior and Obie were great hosts. The food in Marigot was great and was included in the price of the cruise. This is a must for couples that want a nice, quite romantic evening.

Took the calypso dinner cruise to french side fromt the Pelican (simpson bay) resort, and being a Jersey skeptic thought it would be another tourist rip off. Not at all, Junior and Obie were great hosts, taught us some things about St. Maarten we never knew (even after 20 years of visting). It was quite enjoyable.
