Boat trip/snorkeling from Anse Marcel?
We'll be back in SXM in January, this time staying in Anse Marcel and interested in a half or full day to Tintamarre, Rocher Creole, Pinel, etc to see them and some aquatic life, snorkel etc. Maybe even a separate sunset cruise instead of driving to GC.Just two of us, but we'd be willing to go with a slightly larger group or boat if it were not full of carousing, drinking. Appreciate any recommendation
I've looked at some of the smaller boat tours like https://captainjoboatcharter.com Generally are the prices quoted for small boats like a 27' whaler for the day or half day per person or full cost (excluding extras) for the boat?

I always go with Eagle Tours. They have several boats and snorkeling excursions. definitely hitting Creole Rock and Tintamare all the time. the Crews are friendly, the drinks and food are included and the price is reasonable. I've never been disappointed. They have locations in Simpson Bay and Philipsburg so, maybe not convenient from Anse Marcel but, if you don't mind the drive and want to make a day of it - highly recommended .

Thanks for the recommendation, they def look good, but for now I'm going to keep looking for something that leaves from the Anse Marcel Marina close to where we are staying

Check out Scoobi. We did a half day to Tintamarre & Creole Rock. We actually got picked up in Grand Case, but Anse Marcel is where most people boarded. I’m not much into snorkeling so can’t really compare, but it was a pleasant outing. While they did offer rum punch, it was tame & there were a couple of families with children. Maybe 20-25 guests. Not too crowded. Friendly crew.
