Had an excellent trip on May 16th with Captain Stephen and his crew Illy and Das Vest (I hope I spelled that right). Captain Stephen makes sure everyone is safe and having a fun time. Illy did a great job serving drinks and making guests feel comfortable. Das Vest is a great young man with a bright future and is a reliable and steady right-hand man. Captain Stephen cooks up an incredible lunch on his grill with shrimp, veggie, and curry chicken kebabs, garlic bread, and pasta salad. Boat trips are typically similar wherever you go, but this boat trip separated itself from the rest because of the personality and care that is poured into the trip from Captain Stephen and his crew.

The day was beautiful and our captain Boyd was fantastic. The day started out great he took us to a few areas to snorkel and then to lunch (delicious!!) on Pinal island. Once lunch was done we headed back to the boat. One of the engines did not have any stearing the cable was broken from the salt water. We were told that a new boat would come out to get us. At this point we had already lost the 2.5 hours and then on top of that we waited another 2 hours for a boat to pick us up. We reached out the next day to the owner hoping that maybe he would offer the additional 2.5 hours but no. To start the day out so well and then end with a huge setback on what should have been an amazing experience.

Our crew was dean , charlie and Gloria . Charlie and gloria are really amazing. They really take care if you and look out for you. Through out the trip. You get some snacks in the morning then lunch and then a snack in the afternoon and finish off with a little champagne . You really get to see all of st martin in this your and you get to snorkel in two areas. And swim in another area. It was open bar as well so the drinks kept coming. I dont know how to swim so I was given a vest and 2 floating noodles. If you're not a swimmer i would bring a vest but if you can swim then you're fine. They give you fins if you need them and masks for snorkeling as well. Overall great ride and great time. Thanks charlie, gloria and Dean!

We recently visited St Martin and was looking for a good tour around the island and its highlights. Luckily, we found Seagrape Tours which was able to accommodate all our requirements. We booked 2 tours with the agency- 1) Island History and 2) Hiking Tour. Ilja was very quick and professional in responding and made sure all our queries were addressed. David is very knowledgeable about the entire island and shared so many stories about its history and culture. Also, as we were with a little child, David made sure the little one was very comfortable. By the end of the tour, you are rewarded with very tasty homemade treats (Ilja takes care of that). I would like to thank both Ilja and David for making our holiday memorable and would highly recommend Seagrape Tours to all St Martin visitors.
