"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."

"Amazing rental. Came on a slightly rainy day and owner offered to let us come back a different day no charge if we wanted better weather. Ended up waiting out the rain but great experience all around. Would highly recommend"

"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

We saw a few sea turtles between the launch point and pinel island. We read reviews saying that there is sea turtles but we thought it was pure luck but we were surprise..." Read more

"This kayaking is a must have if you ever in St Martin! We loved it soooo much on a first try so that booked a second one the next day again:) The price is amazing for a full day rent, kayaks are well maintained and all the gear is clean and available. The owner offers dry bags for a small additional price which was very convenient, snorkeling gear which work..." Read more

"Très bonne expérience de Kayak pour aller sur l'île Pinel malgré la pluie que nous avons eu pendant notre périple. Nous avons été très bien accueillis et conseillés vis-à-vis de la météo et des conditions de navigation. Idéal pour apercevoir les tortues de la réserve."
