St Maarten Sunset Trimaran Tour — FAQ
What makes the trimaran different from the catamaran sunset cruise?
A trimaran has three hulls, which makes it noticeably more stable and smooth than a regular catamaran or sailboat — ideal if you're prone to seasickness. This sail is two hours along the west coast with drinks and snacks. Compare both on our island tours in St Maarten.
How long is the sail and how much is it?
It's a two-hour evening sail starting from $66 per person, with drinks and snacks included. You can check live availability for your date above.
Is it good for people who get seasick?
Yes — the three-hull trimaran is one of the most stable boats on the island, so it's a strong choice if you're worried about motion. The west-coast route is also relatively sheltered in the evening.
Is there snorkeling on this tour?
No — it's a scenic sunset sail rather than a snorkel trip. If you'd like to snorkel and swim, the catamaran and trimaran day-sails are a better fit. Contact us and we'll point you to the right one.
Is it suitable for a romantic evening?
Very much so — the calm deck, the west-coast route and the sunset make it a popular choice for couples, and the perfect 5.0-star rating reflects how relaxing guests find it.
What Travelers Say About the Trimaran Sail
The smoothest boat I've ever been on. We barely felt a wave, the sunset was unreal, and the drinks and snacks were a nice touch. Perfect for my partner, who usually gets seasick.
Two relaxed hours along the coast with a gorgeous sunset. Lying on the trampoline between the hulls was the best part. A lovely, calm evening sail.
Worth a little more than the basic cruise for the extra time and the stability. The crew were friendly and the light on the water was beautiful. Highly recommend.
