Lord Sheffiled Tall Ship

schatje · May 12, 2005

Hi, We will be in St. Maarten on Dec. 7th, aboard the Sea Princess and we are interested in booking the tall ship "Lord Sheffield". Has anyone been on this tour and what did you like or dislike. Was it a good value? Thanks for any info.

I have not found the snorkeling to be particularly good in St Maarten/Martin. I have snorkeled at Cupecoy Beach, neat Long Bay where the Lord Sheffield goes, at Grand Case, at Orient Beach, at La Galleon Beach east of Orient Beach, and that is four different sides of the island. While we have not done Lord Sheffield, from their website it looks to be similar to the various Jolly Roger excursions in other ports. We did that in Barbados and enjoyed it. We prefer to rent a car at the end of the pier and drive around the island, going from place to place, beach to beach. About $45 for the day.
