Snorkeling and boat access in Sint Maarten
St. Maarten Snorkeling & Boat Passenger
Join an operating departure as an independent snorkeler or relax aboard as a non-snorkeling passenger, subject to live boat availability.
A flexible way to join a SNUBA SXM departure
You do not have to participate in SNUBA—or belong to somebody else’s SNUBA booking—to reserve a snorkeling or non-snorkeling passenger place. These options let independent guests, families and mixed-interest parties enjoy the same operating boat departure in the way that suits them.
Independent snorkelers
Anyone may book the snorkeling option. Your reservation does not need to be connected to a group of SNUBA participants.
Boat passengers
Prefer to remain aboard? The same product also provides the booking path for a non-snorkeling passenger place.
Mixed groups
SNUBA participants, snorkelers and passengers can share an operating departure while each guest books the appropriate option.
When snorkeling and passenger places are available
Snorkeling and passenger reservations are available only when an eligible parent tour departure is running. This is not a separately dispatched boat: your reservation attaches to an operating departure. If no eligible parent departure is available for the selected date and time, the snorkeling or passenger option cannot run by itself.
Capacity is checked live. Additional snorkelers and passengers may be accepted above the parent tour’s participant limit, up to the total occupancy configured for that departure. Because the booking system reads the active capacity, this page deliberately does not promise a fixed number of extra places.
Snorkeling and passenger price
The current price is maintained by the live UltimaTour product rather than being typed into this page:
USD 45.00 per person
The displayed amount will therefore stay synchronized when the product price changes.
How to reserve your place
1. Check a date
Open the SNUBA SXM booking page and select the date and time you would like to join.
2. Choose your option
Select the Snorkeling / Passenger product for each guest who will not be participating in SNUBA.
3. Confirm availability
The booking flow checks the eligible parent departure and its remaining total occupancy before the reservation is completed.
