June 10, 2009 - Our day on the Random Wind started with breakfast at Rics Place (included in the price of the ticket), then a dingy ride to the boat, a quick vote on where to go and off into the blue! We sailed to Tinntamarre - a beautiful unspoiled island with great snorkeling and mud baths! After some time... more

Was in St. Maarten early in March during the Heineken Regata. Was interested in some new and interesting experiences so spent the first day of the Regatta on the Random Wind observing the races. Granted, I and only I got ill, the weather was rainy and the winds high and, unfortunately I had other ailments at the time. The staff... more

The tour ran in rough seas, White caps on the ocean.. Tour operator said it would run regardless. After getting on within the first hour people were becoming sea sick even after taking bondine. At first stop the hostess gracious gave everyone an option to be bought to the nearest beach and find your own way home. 7 of twelve... more

We were on an Eastern Caribbean cruise the week of April 4th, 2009. Decided to try a different excursion than the crowded ones the cruise lines offer. After a Google search we found information about the "At Random" This is a navy tender that is being used as a day trip boat. We cannot say enough about how wonderful it... more

My wife and I plus 3 other couples did a private charter in early April and it was our best day on the island. The Captain Dean lets us pick our schedule and even ran our time long because he was having a good day with us. Plenty to drink and lunch was very tasty. Also, served some tsty snacks... more

we sailed on the Random Wind 7/3/08 - it was amazing. The weather turned out to be over cast but that did not stop us. We met at Ric's, our Hostess Diane was SO kind and friendly, we took a short dingy ride over to the sailboat and we were off. The Random Wind is a beautiful and well kept... more

This was one of the highlights of our group trip to St Maarten. Larry & Jessica, the crew, were super nice and made sure we had a great experience. Having never sailed before, I was looking forward to the day trip more than anything and I wasn't disappointed. After discussing the safety rules and how to move/walk on the sailboat... more

Random Wind is a sailboat that takes 8-14 people on a tour of St Maarten's best snorkling stops. Based out of Simpson Bay the trip leaves at 9 and returns around 4:30. Our kids had a fantastic time and especially enjoyed jumping off the front of the boat. The other family had been on the trip many times before. Our... more
