High season note
This is a private charter operated by an individual boat.
Once your booking is matched to a specific captain and vessel, that boat can only run one charter per day.
During high season, private boat charters around St Maarten / St Martin often book several days in advance, particularly for weekends and calm sea days.
After you request your date, we confirm live availability with the captain operating your charter.
You’ll receive confirmation before paying anything beyond the initial deposit.

Short on time but want to see the highlights of both St. Maarten and St. Martin? This private half-day charter delivers the perfect blend of French charm, Dutch culture, and Caribbean scenery — all in one smooth, scenic cruise.
Departing from Blue Pearl Marina, you’ll glide through the turquoise lagoon before heading offshore to Creole Rock. This shallow reef is ideal for snorkeling, with colorful tropical fish, calm conditions, and excellent visibility.
Next, enjoy a scenic cruise past Marigot Bay, the French capital, where luxury yachts, waterfront cafés, and pastel architecture create classic Caribbean photo opportunities.
Your final stop is a choice between Mullet Bay or Happy Bay — both known for beautiful sand, clear water, and relaxed island vibes. Swim, stroll the beach, or simply unwind onboard with a cold drink before cruising back.
This experience is ideal for cruise passengers, short-stay visitors, or anyone wanting a complete island snapshot without committing to a full day at sea.
