"The kayaking and our day on Pinel Island was beautiful and relaxing. On a day that most of St. Martin was covered in clouds and windy, Pinel Island provided a sunny beach day. Ozzy offered great recommendations for the short trip over with stops at a sandbar and reef. I highly recommend the kayak rental as a easy adventure in St. Martin."

"Great experience renting a tandem kayak and some snorkeling gear at Caribbean Paddling. Ozzy, the owner, was really helpful and gave us tips on where to go and what sections to avoid (waves!). The whole process was really simple and quick. Pinnel island was gorgeous and because we had a kayak, we didn’t have to rush to make it to the ferry at the end of the..." Read more

"We had an amazing time paddling out to Pinel Island, and Ozzy gave us some great tips. We saw the sandbar, chilled on Pinel Island for a few hours, checked out the hidden beach, and saw turtles on the way home. Highly recommend, thanks Ozzy!"

"This kayaking place was so perfect, really efficient, casual, good equipment, great vibe. I would definitely recommend and you should make a reservation because if the seaweed comes in and the ferry is cancelled then everyone wants kayaks to get to Pinel!"

"This is a GREAT outfit that provides a great way to get to Pinel Island! We kayaked over on two days back-to-back and Ozzy was terrific on both ends of both days. He couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating, especially on the second day when we had unexpected car trouble. He provided good information on what to see on the way to Pinel (the sand b..."

"What an experience of a life time. Price was super cheap for the day to rent a double kayak and go to a beautiful island. The bay to go across was so relaxing and gorgeous. The gentleman we rented from was helpful and friendly and explained to us where to go and what to see. We left at 9:30 am and came back at 5! Thank you for this memory!"

"Great time! I highly recommend! Kayaking to The island is the best imo and the snorkeling is fun as well. I had a stingray swim right up next to me. The hiking on the island was fun as well. There’s something for everyone. The two restaurants on the island have amazing food. The rental/return process was easy for the kayaks and all your geae"

"We took single kayaks out. We followed all the sight seeing advice and had a GREAT time. The sandbar was awesome to stop at and just walk around on the way there and back and we saw a couple sting rays. Would do this again in a heart beat! The island was delightful to explore, but my favorite was kayaking around. Great service."

"Great experience and easy pick up / drop off. Definitely choose this for getting to Pinel - its part of the charm and fun. We had reserved in advance and Ozzy was helpful in the moment in making adjustments since a few of our party changed their minds from the paddle board to a kayak. Be warned there is a strong smell of the algae at this location but was..." Read more
