      Great outing in the Santino!
      We did this trip on the Santino with Capt Roy and Noah. It was the best day of our whole vacation. We were a little worried about a 7 hour excursion with our 8 year old but we did enough different things that he was entertained the whole time. His favorite part was when the boat went fast! We were well taken care of all day, great food and drinks, super friendly and knowledgeable crew. 10/10 would recommend.

      Cool, relaxing and adventurous
      I give it a 4.5/ 5. The captains were nice especially the co captain. Came with refreshments and drop us off to a small part of st. Maarten to eat lunch. Lunch was good and included in the package. He came to rescue me because I went into the water and got scared because I was paddling farther and farther from the boat. I appreciate him.

      Highly Recommended
      We had a great time on the Bubbly Sunset Cruise. I was surprised at how much fun it was. Prior to booking this cruise, we booked the Edge II, to go to St. Barts. That was a great experience, so we decided to book something else. Each time I went into the office, the ladies were really nice and helpful. Even the people directing people to check in, were very nice. I think John was his name (I could be wrong). When checking in for both excursions, we did not have a problem. Both the crews that we had were great! Aqua Mania is doing a great job. I highly recommend!

      Fabulous and we’ll-organized all-island tour
      What a great island tour: well organized, with well-chosen stops, the right amount of time at each spot, kind and helpful staff and Captain Roy even treated us to a little reggae music on a portable speaker. Probably my favorite boat tour ever.

      Wonderful experience everytime
      This is our third time on the Tango. I absolutely love this dinner cruise. The staff is attentive and very helpful. The captain is phenomenal! He pointed out to us that we might have the right conditions for a green flash. And we did!! I might have missed it had he not had explained it so perfectly. The food was good and although we don’t drink the beverage selection was good. The music volume was perfect! 🤩

      Great first evening in St Maarten
      This was the first excursion on our Anniversary trip. My husband surprised me with this trip and planned all of the excursions. This was absolutely perfect for our first evening in St Maarten. The Sunset dinner cruise was very relaxing. Just take in the scenery, nice music, rum punch that kept coming and a decent dinner. The crew and captain were friendly and we had fantastic conversation with a local couple on board. The people from St Maarten are so friendly so that was the icing on the cake. I highly recommend the Sunset Dinner Cruise!

      Lambada Catamaran a Great Day Trip
      The Lambada Catamaran was an awesome experience and full day trip out to Prickly Pear and Anguilla. Unfortunately we were not able to land at Prickly Pear, do to high winds. However, we made up for it with two stops on Anguilla. The first a snorkeling stop and the second stop was at Rendezvous Beach. The crew were very hospitable (Thanks Captain Preston). The food was delightful, as well as the cold beverages.

      Wonderful cruise around Sing Maarten
      Captain Rory took us on a wonderful cruise around the island (it is what he does) and Noah met all of our needs. Lunch was great. Thanks for an excellent day.

      Nice but prepare well
      Ok, this is super cool and chill to do but one must be prepared. Be prepared for impeccable service! This crew is constantly checking on you, bri hung you appetizers and drinks. Be prepared for a great open bar! Be prepared for a good meal, but nothing fancy. More importantly be prepared for either rain or motion sickness! Bring a light rain jacket and absolutely bring some bonine for motion sickness. If you are prone to this: take a non drowsy Bonine before boarding. You will be glad you did and you’re welcome! 🤣

      Do it!!!
      What a beautiful experience! Immaculate catamaran Lambada delivered via medium speed to Prickly Pear Anguilla for, swimming, beach and a catered lunch. Second stop was midday, which showed us the mainland and equally beautiful swimming and beach. Returned to Saint Martin under power and then sail which was peaceful And gave us the full experience. Perhaps the best of all, was the crew.!!! From the Captain to the Hands, they were so attentive and organized, friendly and fun. We loved it!

      BUBBLY SUNSET CRUISE
      Although the actual sunset was pretty obscured, the crew of the Tango made our cruise an excellent experience! Their attention to all the passengers was exceptional and they knew exactly when to come to ask if we needed anything else. The provided food was delicious especially the zucchini balls and meatballs. The food, drink, and fun was plentiful. VERY professional while being fun!! I definitely recommend this tour!

    Came to aqua mania to complete my beginner OWD certification. Day 1 was with Brett and Roy - great experience, eased my nerves especially going into my first dive and made sure all was safe but also fun. Second day was with Nate and Swami, very similar experience - made sure we were able to have fun and see ample wildlife but also making sure everything was under control and that people felt safe. Booking was easy and they were very responsive with our requests. Solid experience.

    I have not dove for about 10 years and was in a group of five other experienced divers. I have a Rescue Diver certification. We did a two tank dive near the Maze and a sunken ship. Our Divemaster Damien was incredibly prepared and patient with me. HIs pre-dive safety briefing was detailed and easy to follow. During the dive, he was constantly checking up on our group to ensure we were all accounted for and also pointed out the undersea wildlife and areas of interest.

    All in all, it was the best possible experience and well worth the cost. I will recommend your company to anyone who wants to dive at St Maarten.

    Our dives were led by Audrey and Steve who are top notch! Audrey went out of her way to make sure our group had a first-class experience. She worked to ensure our group had comfortable equipment and accessories, and was gracious and accommodating on our multiple days of diving. She is also very knowledgeable about the reef and marine life. She & Steve are able to readily accommodate divers of different ages and skill levels with professionalism & patience. Our group was very pleased with them and I would not hesitate to recommend them to any divers visiting St. Maarten.

    The entire experience with our divemaster Brett & Boat Captain Soinet (pronounced Swanny), and not to forget the staff in store, was impeccable, from the earliest moments of prepping our dive to our late evening get together for laughs and drinks. The hardest thing for any tour company to do is gain trust from tourists, that may have been the easiest for them to do, they don’t treat you like tourists, they treat you as friends, it’s about your experience at all costs, from the necessities for diving to the knowledge of the island and the people.....well worth what we paid and this will be our choice in the future.....

    The entire process from booking the dives to the dives themselves was very professional. It was also a lot of fun. Bret and Swanny made the diving experience a blast! Will be back next year to pick up where we left off. Highly recommended.

    I was planning to do 4 dives. I was told the dives would be 50-60 feet which is fine for a recreational dive. I was told it was a wreck and reef. The first dive was a reef and never got below 36 feet. They did not prepare all divers properly so we waited below for 15 minutes before dive guide started. On the second dive they took us back to Little Bay Cove and the the second dive was in there discover scuba course, max depth 22 feet. Very little life to see. We did this cove snorkeling a couple days earlier only 40 yards from shore.I told them ahead of time I had more than 3 dives and I wanted decent dive. Also their were no weather related issues to cause us to move into shore. I cancelled other dive day with them. I can honestly say this was my worst experience with a dive company in 21 years. I asked for 3 dives worth of money when I returned, and received $100 of my $220 back. In all fairness I only had 1 dive.

    Some family also did "Discover SCUBA" course with same Dive Master.
    Dove (5) days, (10) Dives, (3) Certified Divers, (3) Discover Divers.
    Mostly helped by Audrey, Steve, and Soinet (who we also encountered in 2012).
    Fantastic group. Can't say enough good things about all of them. Courteous, patient, helpful, funny, hard-working. Great guides underwater too. Our group was good, but they helped some other divers quickly and efficiently without interrupting our dive. Our Discover Divers had a 2 for 3 success rate, and I expect they'll certify within the next year (Audrey ran that course for them). Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants great dives with friendly, helpful people.

    My husband and I had a great 2 tank dive, The first dive had to be aborted due to rough sees. The Captain took us to 2 other sites so we could get our 2 dives in. The divemaster was awesome taking us to the various wrecks under water, I highly recommend.
