The cruise starts in the morning, right next to the cruise ship terminal.
The yacht heads out of Great Bay. Passing Fort Amsterdam the cruise continues to Simpson Bay which is one of the main areas for activity and nightlife. Here you will pass the lift bridge where boats gain access to the Simpson Bay Lagoon and Marina, which is full of mega yachts and celebrities during high season. At the end of Simpson Bay you will see the International Princess Julianna Airport runway and tower and if you are lucky with the timing you may just see an incoming plane pass overhead as it touches down at the end of the runway so remember to take your camera! It's an awesome sight to have a 747 pass right over the boat!
We then continue onto Cupecoy Beach, a new marina development, along with pristine white villas built along the cliff edge with price tags of up to $7m. At this point you will enter the French side of the island and will see Baie Longue or Long Bay where the famous and beautiful La Samana Hotel is situated on the rocky coastline. The next part of the cruise will take in the palatial homes of the rich and famous, in an area called Terre Basses. This is a very quiet area with fabulous beaches.
We then cruise into the French port of Marigot the capitol of the French side, where you can see the turreted Fort Louis on the hillside with the Marina below and the ferry dock for the island of Anguilla. We do not actually stop in Marigot but just dock briefly to collect our lunch box freshly made at Sandy's Bistro a favorite lunchtime stop for tourists. We then head off to anchor in a quiet tropical bay to have lunch on board the yacht with sumptuous French baguettes, meats, cheeses and fruit tropical style. Remember to take your passports with you for this trip as we shall be travelling in French waters.
After lunch we set off on the cruise to the charming seaside village of Grand Case, with several beachside restaurants and gift shops. The yacht will anchor by the beach so you can swim or laze on the foredeck and take in the views of the Pic Paradis mountain in the distance. Swim ashore to the palm fringed beach and search for shells. The Captain has a great collection of music, or bring your own!
The last port of call will be on the wild and rugged northern coast, with lots of trees, cacti and goats, to the beautiful idyllic bay and marina of Anse Marcel. This marina village with the luxury Radisson Hotel is a quiet hideaway which many visitors never usually get to see. Transport will be waiting for you here to continue the return journey back to the cruise ship by road, and this time will take you along the eastern coast. Have your cameras ready to capture the colorful village of Orient Bay. The 30 minute journey to Great Bay takes you back to Philipsburg (or your own hotel if pre-arranged). This is an amazing exclusive day of luxury cruising, cuisine, sightseeing, fishing, and exploring. It really does have everything!
