Private charters in St Martin / St Maarten
Sunset private charter in St Maarten
What this charter example shows
A private sunset charter is a relaxed way to end the day on the water, with time for coastal cruising, golden-hour views, and a slower pace than a daytime charter.
This type of experience works well for couples, families, small groups, or guests celebrating something special. The focus is usually less about covering long distances and more about enjoying the light, the coastline, and time together onboard.
Because this is a private charter, the route and timing can be adjusted based on conditions, sunset time, and your preferred style of evening.

Sunset charters are usually run on comfortable private boats suited to relaxed cruising and time onboard rather than long-distance exploring.
The exact boat depends on your group size, preferred level of comfort, and availability on your chosen date.
Pricing guidance
Pricing for a private sunset charter depends on the size of the boat, your group, the departure point, and the length of the cruise.
