Philipsburg, St. Maarten Port Q&A

We have been to Maho Beach twice but I don't think there is a water taxi going there.

We were just there a couple days ago. We took a taxi round trip from the cruise port for $16 each. The taxi area is close to the port and there is another taxi area right next to Maho Beach so you can stay as long as you like and then just grab the next one back. We then took a water taxi from the port to Great Bay beach for shopping and dining along the boardwalk which was $6 each round trip.

Never seen a water taxi from the cruise port to Maho. Have seen excursion boats drop by so their customers can get a taste of the airplanes arriving but they stay a respectful distance from the swimming area.

Great Bay Beach is the name of the beach you can see visible from the cruise terminal. You can walk it in about 15 minutes. Just follow the crowds. You can see the ship from the beach. Lots of locals out selling sunbeds and umbrellas, complete with Rum Punch thrown in if you are lucky!

We were at Moho beach in April. Water taxis dont go there. They do go to a different beach very close to where Celebrity docked. that was also a great beach people said, and close to a nice shopping area. Regular driving taxis go to Moho, tho its pretty far and we took a ship excursion which was fabulous! Worth going to Moho!!! Moho is to watch planes land!!
