"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."

"Great service. Great location. Call ahead to rent your kayaks, take the 15 min paddle to Pinel island. Did this with my wife and 11 year old daughter - both enjoyed tremendously. Paddle around the island to the North beach if the swell is low. "

Kayaking to Pinel Island and the activities it had was the highlight of our trip to St. Martin and something I'll always remember. Th..." Read more

"Paddling out and snorkelling around to Pinel island is one of the best activities on the island. There's not much paddling involved (half and hour round trip), and it allows you to stop before the island for and extra snorkel off site (we saw turtles there!). The kayaks come with a large dry sac for your things, are not very tippy, and are in good condition..." Read more

"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
