Racing Boat Excursion in St. Martin?
 

Someone on the site mentioned a racing boat excursion. I'm looking for some daytime fun besides laying on the beach. Does anyone know of this trip or any others that make for fun/activity on the island? Any thoughts about power options as well as biking, hiking, snorkeling, etc.

There used to be a pair of old America's Cup racers, but I couldn't find them. They showed up in Nassau

Its Called Americas Cup Racing and its a blast, its out of Bobbys Marina in phillipsburg, about 70.00pp and you do the work and race against another boat or the clock, the ones in Nassau are different, we looked into them. these are Denis Conners Stars and Stripes and Canadas True North.

the 12 metrES YACHTS RACING IS A GREAT TRIP TO TAKE..IT LASTS ABOUT 3 HOURS AND IS A LOT OF FUN.THEy OPERATE OUT Bobby's Marina in Philipsburg<BR>other fun things to do on SXM is<BR>loterie farms..for hiking...http://www.loteriefram.com<BR>there are many snorkeling trips offered on the island. check with your hotel activities desk<BR>also there are many nearby islands that can be visited for a day with charter sails,etc.<BR>there are fishing charters available also if you are interested<BR>you cna lso visit the SXM Zoo and the musuems<BR><BR>

The yacht races are a blast! We did it last November and really had fun. The crew does a great job and makes sure there's something for everyone to do - no matter what your physical limitations.

For something different, I would suggest a day trip to Saba, a great little island, jsut a fifteen minute flight away. Like stepping into a differenet world...great hiking if you are into that, great diving, and the friendliest people.
