Jet ski tours in St Maarten start in Simpson Bay lagoon and run out along the Terres Basses cliffs, and the kayak tours on the French side paddle across to Pinel Island for a beach bar lunch. We picked 9 water sports tours by hand, read every listing and kept only operators rated 4.5★ or higher. The cheapest is a tandem kayak to Pinel priced per boat from €46; the most expensive are half day jet ski tours of the whole lagoon and the jet ski and ATV combo afternoons.
Jet ski prices are per machine on most listings, so two riders share the cost, and drivers need a licence and a minimum age; the tours are guided convoys rather than free riding. The lagoon is flat, the open sea stretch to the cliffs is not, and the guides turn back in swell. Kayaks to Pinel are a short crossing with a marine reserve fee sometimes charged on top. Departures are from Simpson Bay and Cul de Sac, both a taxi from the pier. The best reviewed St Maarten water sports come first below.
