Eagle Tours – Catamaran Sailing Excursions
Family-owned catamaran operator at Bobby's Marina since 2000 with Anguilla excursions.
Why Go
Eagle Tours has been sailing the waters around St. Maarten since 2000, building a reputation on two beautiful catamarans — Too Rhum Punch and Tropical Time — that combine sailing romance with the kind of all-inclusive service that lets guests focus entirely on the experience. The Prickly Pear and Anguilla excursion, complete with BBQ lunch and champagne, stands out as the operator's signature offering.
The Experience
Departing from Bobby's Marina on Philipsburg's Juancho Yrausquin Boulevard, Eagle Tours runs catamaran sailing excursions that cover the waters around St. Maarten and beyond to Anguilla. The full-day around-the-island eco tour stops for snorkeling at spots like Tintamarre, Creole Rock, and Green Cay, with beach time, swimming, and lunch included on comfortable sailing catamarans. The Ultimate Prickly Pear and Anguilla Experience elevates the day further — visiting the pristine Prickly Pear Keys off Anguilla's coast, with BBQ lunch, champagne, and the exclusive feel of anchoring at one of the Caribbean's most beautiful uninhabited cay systems. Farewell party tours provide a festive final-night option for visitors. All tours typically include open bar, snacks, lunch, snorkeling gear, and professional crew service. The family-owned operation means consistency — the same ownership and core crew that launched in 2000 still runs the show, which translates to refined routes, established relationships with snorkeling sites, and the kind of operational smoothness that only comes from doing the same thing well for over two decades.
What to Try
The Prickly Pear and Anguilla experience is the top-tier offering — pristine cays, champagne, and BBQ make it feel more like a private yacht day than a tour. The standard catamaran snorkeling tour is the best value for a full day on the water. Farewell party tours send you home with one last celebration.
Insider Tip
Book the Anguilla excursion early in your trip rather than saving it for the last day — weather cancellations happen, and rescheduling is easier with buffer days. The catamaran's sailing sections (as opposed to motor) are the most peaceful parts of the day.
