My fourteen year old granddaughter and I were very impressed with the friendliness and kindness of the crew. The ship was very interesting. Our first time on a schooner. The captain was informative as to what to expect and he was accurate. The mate who was in the water with the snorkelers was helpful with any questions or difficulties. I am not a finger food person, but there seemed to be plenty of ribs and wings, and cold drinks were readily available throughout the voyage. The tidbits of history were fun. I would recommend this trip to anyone thinking of snorkeling in St. Maarten.
