Tintamarre or as the English called it Flat Island lies to the north-east of Sint Maarten. It is part of the French side of Saint Martin. There is a beautiful white sand beach and anchorage in the protected lee of the island. Good snorkeling for beginners in the shallow calm waters and the famous mud baths make this an ideal stop. The island is part of a marine reserve and therefore a strict principle of “Take only photographs and leave only footprints” is applied.

We get aboard from the dock at Skip Jack's Restaurant on the Simpson Bay Lagoon at 7:30am. We will have breakfast on board for you. Breakfast consists of croissants, chocolate croissants, baguettes with cream cheese, yogurt and cereal, fruit, coffee and fruit juice. We will sail through the 8:15am bridge on the French side, and have a 2 1/2 hour sail up the Anguilla channel to the island of Tintamarre.

At Tintamarre everybody relaxes. You can go for a swim or snorkel and the mud baths are a lot of fun. There is a place on the beach for clothing optional sunning and swimming for those so inclined. Lunch will be at approximately 1:00pm. It consists of Seafood Paella, blackened Mahi Mahi, BBQ ribs, potato salad and a green salad.

In the afternoon, after we have finished lunch, we can have a last swim at Tintamarre and then sail to Creole rock for more snorkeling or to Happy Bay for more lazing in the water with "noodles" for flotation. There is an open bar on board all day including rum punch, beer, wine, soft drinks and bottled water.

We will come through the French bridge at 5:30pm and be back at the dock at Skip Jack's Restaurant by 6:00 pm.

We do allow "clothing optional" on-board as long as ALL passengers agree.  Respect and courtesy is asked of and offered to all.

No passengers under the age of 21 years allowed for these trips.
