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.

Depending on conditions and your preferences, the captain will select ideal spots for swimming or snorkeling, allowing you to cool off in clear water or simply float and relax. With drinks and snacks on board, the experience remains unhurried and enjoyable throughout.
Available in both morning and afternoon options, this charter is perfect for guests short on time who still want a quality island experience, blending gentle adventure with comfort and flexibility on the water.
