We headed to Maho Beach in Sint Maarten to watch planes land just a few feet overhead… and let’s just say it wasn’t the day we expected 😅 This time, @CruiseCompCaptain and I explored with friends — Lynelle from @PovertyToParadise , Trevor and Tami from @harbor2happyhour— which made the chaos way more fun! From shared taxis and surprise rain to crowds, jet blast, and a super long trip back to port, this video is our honest take on Maho Beach and everything I wish I knew before going. In this vlog, we: 🚕 Took a shared taxi from the cruise port 🍹 Stopped at Sunset Bar & Grill 🌧 Got soaked waiting through a rainstorm ✈️ Watched low planes land at Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) 😬 Waited forever for a return ride ⏳ Took way longer getting back than planned 👯‍♀️ Hung out with fellow cruise creators and made the most of it anyway At the end, I share: ✨ Whether Maho Beach is worth visiting on a cruise stop 💡 My time-saving tips + what I’d do differently 🌴 How to plan your day if weather turns 🛳️ Alternate port day ideas in St. Maarten / Sint Maarten If you want to see more from my friends, check them out: 📺 Poverty to Paradise — Lynelle 📺 Harbor2HappyHour — Trevor & Tami 📺 CruiseCompCaptain — Cael Whether you’re a cruiser, plane-spotter, or just curious, this is the real Maho Beach experience — rain, crowds, jet blast and all!
