Sand Dollar is a great half day trip from St Maarten, offering sightseeing, snorkeling and swimming. Captain Alex is one of our most complimented staff members and will be looking after your tour group for the day!

The cruise takes guests through the lagoon, along our beautiful coastline and up to Creole Rock, off Grand Case. Creole Rock is a large rock formation with a reef extending out towards to the mainland, about a mile offshore. Waters are shallow and calm and provide excellent snorkeling. The boat picks up a mooring in a large sandy patch, in about 8ft of water.

The site is a shallow one for diving, but the reef life is great with chances of seeing the rare frogfish, puffer fish, occasional barracuda and many different varieties of reef fish. Divers are welcome, however they must bring their own equipment.

A large cooler keeps beers and sodas ice cold for refreshment throughout the day, and French baguette and gouda cheese are served to hungry snorkelers. Guests should bring towels, hats and sun block, and have their bathing suits on. Underwater cameras are on sale in our boutique for those who wish to capture the beauty of the underwater world!

Non swimmers are also welcome to share in the enjoyable boat ride with great views of Anguilla from Creole Rock, and refreshments included on board.

Any trip to St Maarten would not be complete without a day trip to the gorgeous and unspoiled island of sun and sand - 'Anguilla'. Lambada's 10 year history of party boat fun, family gatherings and outstanding crew, have made her a constant in the line up of #1 excursions.

Lambada 63' sail cat, was the first new breed of day charter cats to arrive in St Maarten in 1996. The boats are very spacious areas with proper seating, a walk up bar and two toilets. There are two nets up front which guests prize as prime positions to sunbathe while sailing, and an angled ladder that is lowered in the front for effortless access and exit into the water when snorkeling.

Lambada provides the means to enjoy what both islands have to offer - food, drink, snorkeling and incredible white sandy beaches. This is the trip often asked for by boat name and not destination. The heady combination of sailing, rum punches and fun loving crew members, ensure a day committed to memory and the scrapbooks. We enjoy a tremendous amount of return guests who name the boat and crew as their #1 vacation trip.

Departing from Pelican Marina, Lambada sails up the west coast of St Maarten and from Plum Point across the channel and up the coast of Anguilla to Sandy Island. Sandy island is the first choice, an ideal setting and the snorkeling great. Non swimmers can also enjoy the beach and shallow clear waters. The protected marine reserve of Little Bay, surrounded by sheer cliffs with caves is another option. Turquoise waters and a small swim up beach provide a mornings entertainment. At around 12.30 pm Lambada moves over to Road Bay for lunch at Roy's new Bayside Grill. Choice of BBQ chicken, fish or ribs buffet for hungry sailors and then free time to enjoy beach combing, swimming or the sun. Road Bay Beach is long and has various little beach side bars and guest houses. Like all of the beaches on Anguilla, the sand is white and the waters a breathtaking turquoise blue.
