Each of these secluded gems has its unique charm, making them must-visit spots for anyone seeking the ultimate tropical escape. Here’s our guide to some of the best offshore islands and keys you can explore during your adventure with us.

Just a short sail from the main island, Tintamarre Island is a paradise for nature lovers. This uninhabited island is famous for its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. As you step ashore, you’ll feel like you’ve entered another world. Whether you’re snorkeling with sea turtles or simply basking in the sun on the soft sand, Tintamarre offers a serene escape. Don’t forget to explore its historical ruins, a reminder of its past as a cotton plantation and later, an airstrip.
2. Pinel Island
Pinel Island is a favorite destination for its laid-back atmosphere and stunning vistas. Located off the northeastern coast of St. Martin, this tiny island is easily accessible by catamaran. You can swim in calm, shallow waters, enjoy a hike along scenic trails, or savor fresh seafood at one of the island’s rustic beach bars. Pinel is also a fantastic spot for paddleboarding and snorkeling, with vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life.
