My husband and I just got back from a cruise. We did several tours on the different islands where we stopped, and while they all had good moments, Captain Alan's Snorkeling Adventure was our favorite.

Colleen, our captain, was kind, friendly, and made a sincere effort to make sure that everyone had a good experience. We went with another couple from our ship and were joined by a few others. One of the women didn't swim well, but she was soon put at ease under the capable guidance of Colleen.

Beautiful beaches, and a wonderful trip. Colleen seemed genuinely interested in making our trip fun, and it was all the we expected it to be.

This is our third time at Oyster Bay Beach Resort and third time going on Captain Alan's Snorkling excursion, we would highly recommend this. Alan and his staff are wonderful at what they do and always want to be sure that their guests are having fun. Thank you Alan and staff, we will see you again next year!

We have a timeshare and have stayed in St Maarten for over 8 years. Captain Allen's trip is the first thing booked every year,then the dinner reservations. Whether there are two of us or five or us, the morning on the water is spent visiting the best snorkeling sites, beaches and time in the beautiful Carribean waters. The smaller group combined with Captain Allen and Colleen's charm, makes this trip a highlight of every stay.Bring an underwater camera, well worth it. We recommend this unconditionally if you want some of the best snorkeling with great people.

By way of background you will see that we reviewed Captain Alan in March of this year when we spent the best day of our vacation with Peggy and Paul, and gave it a 5 Star Rating.
So when my wife and I (married June 8th, 2012) decided to take our honeymoon in St. Martin (november 1-11, 2012), we thought it would be a great idea to have a 2nd ceremony at the dock at the marina at Oyster Pond, and then spend the afternoon on the water with Peggy & Paul. What a great decision!!

Peggy's husband Mike performed the ceremony and the poem which he wrote based on information I gave him in advance will give us memories to last a lifetime!!! He truly made it incredibly special, and thankfully Captain Alan himself was there to video it.

We then spent the rest of the day on the boat will Peggy and Paul, and it was every minute as amazing as the day in March. The weather was perfect, the treats supplied by Peggy were delicious (especially the shrimp and the tuna), and of course the best part was the quality time with spent with Peggy, Mike and Paul; who we truly regard as not just friends, but as our "family"
in St Martin.

We are booked to return for 2 weeks in March, and are excited to do the St. Barts tour with them at that time. They are truly an amzing trio and it is not just a pleasure, but a privilege to have them as friends.

If by some chance you are considering getting married or renewing your vows in St. Martin, you really should consider letting "The Reverend Mike'' be your officiant! you will not be disappointed!
