U2737PMluisb,
Happy to hear you enjoyed your day with us. You're right, of course. The Fishing and the weather are in hands of the fates. Wish I could run a 'catching' Charter but sadly, we have to stick with 'fishing'.
Captain Chip (or as we like to call him, JP) thanks you for the shout-out.
Hope to see you again, the next time you're in town.
Happy Travels and tight lines,
The crew and management at Coconut Reef Fishing Charters.

We had a great time at sea despite the fact we only caught one fish and one large trash bag! The trash bag is a true memory we will never forget as we all, crew included, thought we had caught a large tuna! Turns out trash bags put up quite a fight when filled with water. We all had a good laugh!
The captain, JP and mate Randy, were a lot of fun to spend the day with, the weather was beautiful and the boat navigated the waves very smoothly. Randy was very knowledgeable about the history of Sint Maarten and provided some interesting facts. Craig, the boat owner, was very friendly and provided us with a few pieces of fish to cook up as a consolation. Nice touch! I would highly recommend this trip as everything was handled very professionally and safety was of utmost importance!

Rock33ne,
Unfortunately, the invasive species of 'gladius-bagus' is an all too common sight these days. Happy to hear you did your part in removing another one of these pesky critters from our oceans.
Thank you for the kind words. We look forward to seeing you again if you're ever back on our little island.

Randy and JP took great care of us today. The boat was beautiful and a smooth ride. JP was a great captain and Randy knew how hook up fish. They were friendly and knowledgeable and gave my husband and I a great day on the water. This is a great charter for couples and families- non fisherman to advanced. I will definitely use them when we come back!

This experience was amazing! JP, Randy, and Craig were all great to work with and made sure we had fun and were involved in the experience. We caught 4 fish, two of them by my 10 year old daughter who thought it was the most incredible thing ever!
JP fileted the fish we caught right in front of us and we ate it for dinner that evening! Such a fun thing to do while visiting!

Dear Rachel V,
Thank you for the kind words. Indeed, there was a couple of nice Wahoo in the haul. We do hope the fish cooked up tasty.
Congratulations to the young lady. That was an epic catch for a youngster. You did give it a try at the dinner table, right?
Well done guys and thank you for sharing your experiences. It is much appreciated.

Really great people, made the whole day fun. Caught some great fish, cold beer and soda, and some good sandwiches. Once the fish hit we were on it. They really made the most of our day. Will go back.

We had a great time! The crew grew up on Saint Martin and has fished all over the world. their knowledge of the waters was spot on. We were in an off-season but still managed to catch plenty of fish. The boat was great, we had wonderful conversation, and I would go again tomorrow if I could. They even recommended a restaurant for us that would cook up our catch.

JD & Randy took the four of us out for a day of deep sea fishing, and we couldn't be happier. We hit on wahoo, mahi, barracuda and possibly the world's smallest blackfin tuna. Jay truly loves his job, as he was as excited as we were (maybe more) when we hooked a fish. Randy was great - taking care of the small details so we could enjoy reeling them in. The mahi and wahoo made for a delicious dinner despite us not finding the "fish" setting on the microwave. Thanks so much!

"JP", Randy and I, thank you for the kind words. We are thrilled we could put you on some good fish!
Microwave you say? You put fresh Mahi and Wahoo in the microwave? Them's fighting words you know! I had to tie JP to the boat when he saw that. Just to be safe, I would keep one over your shoulder for the next few weeks. I can only contain him for so long...
In all seriousness, thank you for choosing Coconut Reef. We truly appreciate you putting your trust in us.

We had a fabulous time with JC and Randy. They got us on the fish. Everyone in our party caught at least one dorado. This is our second time fishing with them and will definitely go again our next trip back to the island.

Dear Sue b,
Your (positive) feedback is greatly appreciated. Always a great trip when everyone onboard gets a chance to hookup and land at least one good fish.
We're happy to hear we might see you back in the future and will look forward to it! Just hope we haven't set the bar too high? No worries, we're up for the challenge.....bring it!
Happy and Safe Travels,

PS. It's JP not JC, even though he does think he can walk on water sometimes ;-)

Hello
We do pick up from the cruise terminal and you will definately get back to your ship on time. According to the current port schedule you dock at 7:20 and depart at 6pm.
We do not have a bathroom onboard but you will have several snorkel spots and we stop at Pinel Island where there are bathrooms.

It's about a 20 minute ride by car. Our full day snorkeling tour includes the cost of return ground transportation.
We've booked through Nexus tours for this excursion tomorrow, however we didn't receive a pick up time? We're staying at the sonesta great bay in Phillips urgent, what is the usual time for pick from there for this excursion?

We pick up from different times from the resorts and the activity desk should advise you of the pick up time when you book. For online bookings and cruise ships we will contact you with the pick up time. Cruise ship pickups vary depending on ship arrival times but we will contact you with details.

Hi Sheryl, I was wondering if you are the same Sheryl with Capt Stans crew? I"m looking at booking the St Maarten Snorkel and Discover tour off viator for 2. We arrive April 18 on Celebrity Reflection and it looks like the ship is in port 930AM-6PM. IF this is your tour, do you provide pick up/drop off at Port? Also, is this enough time for the tour??
Thanks,
Geiset

Coming in on royal Caribbean adventure of the seas may 14 and have reserved 2 tickets for the snorkel and discovery tour. Our boat docks at 8 am. I see where people have been picked up at their ports as well. Want to be sure this is correct and that we can be picked up there near our boat. Also I figure it's a good idea to call the number on my vouchers 24 hours ahead to confirm who and where we will be picked up?? Thanks!!

We found the people to be very accommodating. Just make sure you contact them and be very clear about where and when you need to be picked up and when you need to be back. Wonderful people that will go the extra mile to help.
