Little Bay

The Under Sint Maarten Underwater Sculpture Park is a breath-taking new eco-attraction, opened in December 2023 in Little Bay, Sint Maarten. With over 300 captivating artificial reef sculptures placed along a designated trail, this immersive experience offers guests an unforgettable snorkeling adventure. Floating gracefully above the underwater exhibition, guests can admire the sculptures that celebrate the island’s vibrant culture and history while providing a protected habitat for marine species to thrive—an extraordinary opportunity to witness the exciting life of a diverse aquatic ecosystem just beneath the surface. Cast exclusively from members of the local community, the underwater exhibition aims to bring the story of Sint Maarten to life through four distinct galleries that pay homage to Sint Maarten’s past and present. The galleries display a stunning and authentic evolution of the island’s history.

From the check in location you will be tendered to the trimaran. Get settled in while the sails are hoisted for a sail around the island, typically this is done clockwise. On the sail we will be passing the whole island, weather permitting, starting with Maho, Mullet Bay, Bay Longue, etc. On the first part we serve cake/almond croissant. Our first stop will be at Tintamarre Island where you can snorkel or swim. There are many turtles, rays and lots of fish....go out and find them. A gourmet sandwich lunch is served when you get back on board. Then we set sail again for the 2nd leg and we will be serving a tropical fruit platter. If weather / wind permits there will be a 2nd stop at Little Bay for a swim/snorkel looking foot he sunken helicopter and cannons. After this we will serve some nice tapas while making our way back to Simpson Bay at 16:00.
