"Visiting Pinel Island was the highlight of my cruise, and kayaking over was the best way to get there. On top of that, they have a shuttle that will pick you up at the cruise pier, and take you back at the end of the day. Their shuttle is cheaper than the taxis, which surprised me. None of our expensive cruise excursions could match Pinel Island, and this..." Read more

"My wife and I visited St. Martin for our honeymoon a few weeks ago. We wanted to spend some time on Pinel Island, but we also wanted a bit of a workout (instead of taking the short ferry ride). We had a very good experience renting from Caribbean Paddling and kayaking back and forth to Pinel. We'd definitely recommend this experience to anyone! Ozzy and Fann..." Read more

"Great little family run business. We rented kayaks and paddled over to Pinel Island in about 30-45 minutes. Beautiful place to visit. The little island has sustained some damage to it's coral reef so the snorkeling wasn't as good as in the past but it still was a great little getaway. Great food. You can rent an umbrella and 2 chairs for the day for about 20..." Read more

"Best excursion of the cruise! We were picked up from the cruise port and got a tandem kayak for the day. Being able to paddle out to the islands and explore at our own pace was great. The picnic lunch was also very tasty and convenient. Highly recommend!"

"We booked 3 kayaks while we were in port. Ozzy had everything ready for us when we arrived. Booking online was super easy and Ozzy answered all my questions by email before our trip. Great communication! We had a great time paddling out to Pinel Island and spent several hours there swimming and exploring the island."

"Booking online and chatting with the team at Caribbean Paddling was smooth and easy. They took care of everything. Theresa picked us up at the cruise terminal although it was a little hard to find where she was waiting for us. The drive to the beach was great. Very comfortable. Fanny and Ozzy were awesome. They were waiting for us on the beach with our equip..." Read more

"My wife and I rented two kayaks last month and paddled over to Pinel. THe online booking was simple and worked perfectly. We had them pack us a lunch for each. They were packed in a drybag for us and ready to go. We landed near the main dock after an easy paddle. We hiked counterclockwise, hitting the small beach, the high point and them the back beach. We s..." Read more

"We had a party of 17. Ozzy and Fanny arranged our transportation to and from the ship. When we arrived, our equipment was already waiting and Ozzy and Fanny were there to greet us. The water was clear, the winds made the trip over to Pinel Island a little more work, but one of our favorite stops. Would definitely use Caribbean Paddling again."

"Just returned from St Martin a week ago. Had great experience renting paddle boards from this place! Its a small place right across from Pinel Island and please don't be scared off by the (must say) terrible seaweed smell right there by the water:) You will forget all about that smell as soon as you get on your board/kayak and leave for your adventure for th..."

"What a wonderful experience we had today. We arrived and it was cloudy. We waited a few minutes and the rain blew over. We rented kayaks and snorkel gear. kayaked over to Pinel Island had a delicious lunch at Karakul. Then we walked to the back side of the island and went snorkeling. Make sure to bring water shoes, bottled water and lots of sunscreen."

"If you are visiting St. Martin then Pinel is a must. Renting kayaks or paddle boards from Ozzy at Caribbean Paddling is in my opinion the best way to explore and enjoy the day. We have gone several times and will continue coming back. Ozzy is always very friendly and makes sure we have a good experience. "

"Great experience. Nicolai was very easygoing and helpful. The boards were fine for paddling out to Pinel island. It is a beautiful place if you are a beach lover. On our paddle back he had a drone flying above taking pictures. He offered up the photos for free online ...they were really neat!!! I would rent from carribbean paddle again in a second."
