About Fourchue Island

A World-Class Snorkeling Site

Below the surface, Fourchue is teeming with life. The protected bay acts as a nursery for marine wildlife.

  • Marine Encounters: Expect to swim alongside sea turtles, graceful stingrays, and schools of colorful tropical fish in deep, crystal-clear water.
  • The Funseaker Standard: We believe a premium experience requires premium gear. Forget foggy or ill-fitting masks. We provide high-quality, thoroughly sanitized snorkeling equipment for every guest. Just jump in and enjoy the show.

Hiking & Views: The Caribbean "Wild West"

For those who want to stretch their legs, Fourchue offers a unique hiking experience on dry land.

  • Rare Flora: The arid hills are home to a fascinating array of vegetation, including over 300 species of cacti and rare succulents.
  • The Panorama: A short hike to the peaks rewards you with a breathtaking 360° view, framing both St. Martin and St. Barths against the deep blue ocean.
