Frequently asked questions
How much does a private boat charter cost?
Pricing depends on the boat, destination, duration, group size, and route. Shorter St Maarten charters usually start lower, while Anguilla and St Barts trips cost more because they involve longer distances, customs, and more fuel. We’ll guide you to the most suitable option before anything is booked.
What’s the difference between half-day and full-day charters?
A half-day charter is best for a shorter experience close to shore, with time to swim, relax, and enjoy the coastline. A full-day charter gives you more flexibility, more time on the water, and the option to visit farther locations or enjoy a slower pace.
Can we choose where to go?
Yes, within reason. Routes are flexible, but they depend on your departure point, the boat, sea conditions, and the type of charter you choose. Your captain will always guide the safest and most enjoyable option for the day.
Which destination is best: St Maarten, Anguilla, or St Barts?
St Maarten is best for flexible coastal trips, shorter outings, and sunset charters. Anguilla is ideal for clear water and beach-focused day trips. St Barts is a more premium full-day experience with a longer crossing and time ashore.
Do you offer shared boat tours?
No. EXPLR.SX focuses on private charters only, so the boat is reserved for your group.
How does booking work?
Tell us your date, group size, and what you’re looking for. We check availability, recommend the best fit, and once confirmed you reserve with a deposit. The balance is paid directly to your captain on the day.
Do we need passports for Anguilla or St Barts?
Yes. Anguilla and St Barts are international crossings, so valid identification is required. Customs fees are paid separately and vary by destination and operator.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety comes first. If conditions are not suitable, we’ll discuss the best available option with you, whether that means adjusting the route, changing the timing, rescheduling, or recommending another experience.
Should I choose a boat first or tell you what I want?
Tell us what you want first. We’ll guide you to the right boat based on your plans, group size, comfort level, and availability.
Where can you go on a private charter?
Private charters from St Maarten can include coastal routes, Anguilla day trips, or full-day crossings to St Barts, depending on your preferences and conditions.
Why choose a private charter over a shared tour?
Private charters offer more flexibility, privacy, and comfort. Your day is built around your group, with no fixed schedule or crowded boats.
