The Pirates of St Maarten day Cruise

Sail a tall ship, hear tales from the high seas and be a pirate for a day

The Lord Sheffield departs Dock Maarten/Great Bay Marina (which is located a short walk from the cruise ship dock in Phillipsburg, St Maarten) and sails under billowing square sails down the protected lee shore of St Maarten to one of the most beautiful beaches or snorkel spots on the island. Along the way let the crew pamper you with our open bar, world famous BBQ ribs/chicken, French bread and cheese, fruit trays and other snacks.

The Lord Sheffield then anchors close to the beach in crystal clear water for swimming, snorkeling, and of course .... bow sprit jumping. Learn from the crew, and see first-hand how the great windjammers of yesterday were sailed. Take a turn at the wheel, sip a rum punch, and relax under the Caribbean sun.
