Active Pursuits: Waterskiing
|
 |
|
Most of French St. Martin's large beachfront hotels maintain facilities for water-skiing and parasailing, often from kiosks that operate on the beach.
Two independent operators on Orient Bay, close to the cluster of hotels near the Esmeralda Hotel, include Kon Tiki Watersports (tel. 590/87-46-89) and Bikini Beach Watersports (tel. 590/87-43-25). They both rent jet skis for around $40 to $45 per half-hour; parasailing costs $50 for 10 minutes or $80 if two go together.
Jet-skiing and water-skiing are also especially popular in Dutch St. Maarten. The unruffled waters of Simpson Bay Lagoon, the largest lagoon in the West Indies, are ideal for these sports, and outfitters have facilities right on the sands.
