Why Go

Captain Sup Catamaran operates from Marina d'Anse Marcel — the sheltered French-side cove that provides direct access to the northern coast's best snorkeling and swimming spots. The intimate catamaran experience caters to families, couples, and small groups who want a personalized day on the water rather than a crowded tour.

The Experience

Anse Marcel's marina sits in one of the most beautiful coves on the island, and Captain Sup uses this as the starting point for catamaran excursions that reach Tintamarre, Pinel Island, and Creole Rock within short sailing distances. The northern departure means you are at the reef systems and secluded beaches while the Simpson Bay boats are still motoring through the lagoon. The catamaran format provides the stability and space that families need — kids can move around safely, and the deck offers both sun and shade areas. Snorkeling, swimming, and paddleboarding are the main activities, with the captain choosing the best spots based on current conditions. The all-inclusive package covers drinks, snacks or lunch, and the captain's professional service. The personalized approach means the day adjusts to your group: more beach time if you have young children, more snorkeling if you are reef enthusiasts, or a balanced mix if you want everything. The Marina d'Anse Marcel setting adds atmosphere — departing from a quiet cove surrounded by green hills feels very different from leaving a commercial marina.

What to Try

Book a full-day trip for the most relaxed pace with multiple stops. Request Tintamarre as the primary destination for the best combination of beach and snorkeling. Try the paddleboard during a calm anchoring in one of the coves. Bring an underwater camera for the Creole Rock snorkeling stop.

Insider Tip

The Anse Marcel departure means you can combine a boat day with a day at the Anse Marcel beach and resort area. Arrive early, explore the cove on foot, then board the catamaran. Return in the afternoon and have dinner at one of the cove's restaurants.
