"This was an amazing trip. We had a 3 year old and a 7 year old and they had life jackets that accommodated them as well as us. My kids had a blast doing the trip. This was very affordable and they were so helpful and responsive. Ozzy and his wife were wonderful to work with. I cannot recommend this enough. We would definitely do this again."

"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 had an awesome day with a tandem kayak and delicious picnic lunch prepared by the people at Caribbean Paddling. Being able to explore at our own pace was perfect. It's such a beautiful island. It was pretty windy that day but we didn't have any problems getting there and back."

"Caribbean Paddling was the best adventure of our cruise! We booked ahead with CP for a paddle board trip, lunch and transportation during our stop in St Martin. Their driver met us at the cruise port pick up area(they had sent directions as to where to meet via email) and after a 30 minute drive we were grabbing our gear and heading out. Now the wind was pus..." Read more

"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

"Easy to reserve & pay online. They answered all my email questions regarding parking our rental car quickly before arrival. They had Kayaks prepared on time & ready for our family of 6 (3 Tandem Kayaks). Very friendly and gave us great instructions on what to do & best places to snorkel around Pinel Island. Highly recommend!"

"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."

"Cruise stop in St. Maarten and chose to kayak to Pinel Island based on trip advisor and our love of kayaking. We had so much fun. Enjoyed the trip over and back. We failed to schedule a taxi to pick us up and the owners stayed with us until they were sure we had a safe ride back to port. Make sure you line up transport back to the ship!! Pinel Island itself..." Read more
