10 Things to Do in Marigot That You Shouldn't Miss
The principal town and capital of French St. Martin, Marigot is an appealing spot with brightly colored houses, a scattering of restaurants and lively produce and crafts markets. It’s a great base for exploring St. Martin’s secluded beaches (many clothing optional) and its more vibrant, family-popular ones. Marigot is within easy reach of the famed restaurants at nearby Grand Case, said to have the Caribbean's best dining. Kept temperate by trade winds, Marigot stays warm and sunny year-round.

There is nothing to do here, except stare at the gorgeousness of this water and sand. Oh wait, there is a TINY one -man run "bar," which is really just a hut with 3 or so barstools. The "bartender" is very pleasant and makes a good drink:)

We hired Captain Matt and his high speed boat to take us on a full day trip to Saint Barthélemy. His boat is gorgeous, with tastefully upholstered seats, extremely clean and very roomy!
We were extremely pleased with him and his services. Matt is a very careful, highly skilled captain, and his 3 x 300 HP outboard motor boat took us to the island of St. Barth from Grand Case Beach, in less than an hour, although the sea was very bumpy due to strong winds. His knowledge of the island permitted us to visit the best of the best there! On our way back, the winds were in our favor, so it only took us 45 minutes to return.
We highly recommend Cap. Matt from Caribbean Marines!

Clean calm water, no seaweed, lots of eateries and bars and some quirky shops, art shops and souvenir shops to look through. The beach is big, not as popular as Orient Beach but much nicer. Great beach to walk along and the swimming was lovely in the clam blue water. Beautiful!

I had a refresher course and two dives scheduled during my visit to St. Martin. The refresher course was with Olivia and she did a great job going over everything again so I felt comfortable. I was a bit nervous after having not dived in a few years. We had a great refresher course followed by a fun, easy dive. They were very accommodating and allowed my husband to come snorkeling while I did my refresher. Sadly, I came down with a cold the day before I was scheduled to do my two dives so I had to cancel them. But if I went back to St Martin, I'd dive with this company. They are very safety minded and all the staff we met were friendly.

We just completed our cruise and had a great day on the water with this first class operator. Like everyone else, they have been deeply affected by the hurricane, and lost one of their boats.
Our charming, skilled female captain told us that the seas would be rough when our small group of 5 arrived, but we all wanted to go. Kudos to them for their honesty and giving us the option for a refund.
In any event, we are very glad we went. We got a great view of this magnificent island. The snorkeling was only fair, because the seas were rough, but on the other hand, we had a thrilling boat ride. Our captain did a great job of handling our boat and it was a wonderful day.
Can’t say enough good things about this boat tour. You will be pleased you went snorkeling and power boating with Captain Alan.

Stopped in because of the reviews I had seen about this place, and I was not disappointed. Ravi was a great salesman, makes you feel like old friends in 5 minutes. Great quality, for a good price. If you find it cheaper it may not be real..... some of the places I was told have been know to put in fake diamonds, so be aware. JN has a great selection, you are bound to find something that will make your wife beam with pride.
