Full-Day Jet Ski Tour in St Martin

Posted By : V2548YPsallyp
My husband and I booked an all day jetski tour for Friday 11/10/23. We arrived around 8:30 and started the tour quickly after at about 8:45. We found that it would be just us and our awesome tour guide Steven. We headed out and the ocean was large waves which made it such a blast!! We were getting hammered with water and I was laughing like a child. The skis we rode were top notch! I even lost my sunglasses and Steven called a co-worker to come out and bring me another pair which was crucial due to the salt! Seeing the island from the water was awesome, so many great beaches. The water is also SO warm!! We got rained on a few times and it made the tour even more fun! We stopped for a lunch break and had a blast at the end of the tour flying around the bay. Steven took a lot of photos and videos which was awesome... Truly a great guy who loves his job and made the experience unforgettable. We almost booked a second tour while we were there but our visit was short!!!!

Kevin is so nice and conducts the full day tour in such a fun, diverse, professional, and safe manner. The quality of the Jet Skis is top notch. You won't find a better Jet Ski experience on the island!

What a fantastic day on the water! Kevin is a terrific tour guide and person overall to spend the day with. We had a full group and I was the only English speaker, yet that didn’t matter since Kevin was extraordinarily welcoming and patient the entire time. Kevin often would share facts about where we were along with instructions during stops in French then again in English the entire time. He even took the time to explain a few of the conversations going on over lunch at Friar’s Bay Beach Cafe.

This was my first time on a jet ski which made me a little nervous at first, however that wore off as the day went on. The water was choppy at times which prompted me to be extra cautious. The group let everyone go at their own pace with stops along the way to get everyone back together.

A few highlights include a plane flying overhead by Maho Beach, cruising by spots like Trou de David and Happy Bay Beach, our stop at Friars Bay for lunch, and having the open water to ourselves at points to fly.

Also worth noting that Matis at check-in was just as kind and friendly to talk to! Finding Jet Paradise can be a bit tricky. Park by Marina Port Royals, then walk to your left along the water to find the Jet Paradise shack.

Make sure to bring sunscreen and water. You have some storage available in the jet ski to bring things along.

We found this activity by googling as we were on a cruise ship and wanted to do something different and then I managed to WhatsApp them after finding them on FaceBook. Not the easiest company to find...... We spoke with Kevin who was very efficient at responding to our many questions. He has a nice laid back approach which is calming. It was our 1st time in open waters on a Jet Ski and boy did we have fun. Jules was the guide, he let you go at your own pace but I would say apparently on our day it was quite wavy so as a newbie, challenging at times to keep up because of the sea spray. Open sea very different to calm bay riding :) We saw the planes landing, we stopped for a swim, we powered on calm bay water, we stopped for lunch at Friar's Bay, we went looking for turtles........if you want a fun ride then I would definitely recommend as these guys are very relaxed but safe too. The experience gave me the confidence to pull the trigger to go faster...... a great adrenaline rush :) Not for the faint hearted is all I'll say....... I was the slowest in my group of 4 but it didn't stop the rest from whizzing around and having fun. I whizzed too but just not as fast :) A brilliant day and well worth doing. Thanks to Kevin and Jules and also the lovely taxi driver Robinson who Kevin organised for us.

First of all the price is really fair compared to to other jet ski rides, since you spend all day doing the tour and goes all around the island, the tour guide is a really nice guy and lets you do the path you want the entire way, as long as you are following him, we stopped a few times to take some swims and once to have a drink and eat, also stopped behind the maho airport and saw a plane land right above us, truly amazing experience, the jet skis are beautiful and well conserved.

We set up our jet ski excursion on Trip Advisor and had the confirmation in hand on the day of the trip. I called and emailed the tour operator a day prior for the time to show up, but didn't hear back. We showed up at 9 a.m. and waited until about 9:45 when someone finally showed up. He thought we were going to purchase a trip in person but was surprised when we showed that we had already purchased it via Trip Advisor. This was my first time on a jet ski so a little instruction beforehand would have helped. The jet skis (Yamaha VX Waverunner) were very well maintained and have two watertight storage compartments for your stuff. I would advise bringing a waterproof bag anyway. After about a 5 minute instruction we were off.

NOTE: This place is on the French side of St. Martin and not easy to find. Google Maps was a Godsend! Since this is on the French side, speaking French is almost obligatory. Fortunately the tour operator spoke English was helpful.

We spent about 5 hours total on the jet skis and for the most part the water was smooth. However, there were a couple of places which were VERY choppy and not really conducive for wave running. However, we survived and didn't spill out once! The best place we visited was a small out of the way beach on the French side where we saw 5-6 sea turtles. We stopped for lunch on a nice beach also on the French side. Bring Euros or lots of Dollars!

We toured the entire island and with the exception of the beginning of the tour when there was no one around until about 9:45, this was excellent! I would highly recommend it. Make sure you bring LOTS of sunscreen! The wife and I had a very enjoyable time and would do this again.

We were in St. Maarten for a cruise ship stop. Kevin was fantastic and led a great tour around St. Maarten and answered all the questions we had. He was polite and thorough. All 8 of us that joined him had a great time! I would highly recommend for anyone that loves the Ocean and having a great time!

We've done several jet ski excursions in different cruise ports, but this was by far the best! We did the full day tour around St. Maarten. Kevin was the best guide we've ever encountered. He cares about his clients and strives to make sure that everyone has a great time. Some in our group were first time jet skiers and had some trouble throughout the day, but he was AWESOME and took such good care of them! We were coming from a cruise ship, so the timing of the full day tour did not match up with our time in port, but Kevin was great about adjusting the tour to what we needed. The sites were beautiful. The water was rough at times, so maybe not the best tour for people who have never jet skied before. Also, would recommend riding single rather than double if possible due to the rough water at times. Kevin took us to the airplane beach and timed it up perfectly to when a flight came in so it flew right over us, which was a really awesome experience. There were plenty of opportunities to hop of the skis and go swimming. Overall, it was a fabulous day and I strongly recommend Kevin & Jet Paradise as well this tour specifically it to everyone!
