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.

Live out your own Robinson Crusoe-style escape on Pinel Island, a small slice of paradise just offshore from St. Martin. Departing from Blue Pearl Marina, your private Malargo 35ft speedboat cruises across calm water toward Pinel’s shallow turquoise lagoon.
Once ashore, enjoy soft white sand, crystal-clear water, and the chance to wade alongside gentle rays. Feed the island’s famous iguanas, relax in a beach chair, or explore the island’s short walking trails and scenic viewpoints.
When hunger strikes, choose one of Pinel’s popular beachfront restaurants for fresh lobster or grilled seafood, or bring your own picnic for a laid-back castaway experience.
This private half-day charter is ideal for couples, families, and travelers looking to unwind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy an authentic Caribbean island without crowds or rushing.
