What guests say about EXPLR.SX

Real feedback from guests who booked private boat charters and island experiences with EXPLR.SX.

“We had an incredible day chartering the 46ft power catamaran to Anguilla through EXPLR.SX! Raymond made the booking process seamless and set up the perfect day tailored specifically for our group. On the water, our captain, Thibault, was outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure we took full advantage of Anguilla’s incredible beaches and snorkeling spots. The boat itself was super spacious and comfortable, with plenty of shaded seating to relax, open bar drinks, snacks, and great gear for snorkeling. If you are looking for a smooth, top-tier private boat charter out of St. Martin, I cannot recommend Raymond and the EXPLR.SX team enough. Truly an unbeatable 5-star experience!”

“What a fabulous day we had! Starting with Raymond who helped get our day booked with exactly what we were looking for. He made the process seamless and VERY prompt in all communication! We booked a full day private charter to Anguilla. We were so lucky to get Captain Franky! He was so fun to hang out with!! We stopped at various beaches and were able to swim and hang out with no felling of being rushed ever! He then took us to an awesome local beach bar/restaurant. (Jonno’s) Their shrimp and mushroom sauce is a must have. Everyone was so incredibly kind! We will definitely use them again and highly recommend to others!!!”

This was their first time Participating in the poker run for Anguilla and it was pretty awesome for them to be a part of that!! Let’s not forget the home made rum punch it was amazing!!! Such a great vibe”
