A private boat charter to Anguilla is a full-day experience. The focus isn’t just time on the water, but where it takes you — quiet beaches, open coastline, and a slower pace once you arrive.
Your day is built around your group, with flexible routing and the ability to adjust based on conditions and what you want to see.
Reserve your date with a deposit.

A full-day experience beyond St Maarten
Anguilla sits just across from St Maarten, but feels completely different. The water is clearer, the beaches are quieter, and the pace slows down as soon as you arrive.
A private charter gives you the flexibility to experience it properly — not tied to ferry schedules or fixed routes, but shaped around your group and the conditions on the day.
If you’re shorter on time, half-day trips to Anguilla may also be possible depending on conditions.
For a different type of full-day experience, St Barts offers a longer crossing with time ashore and a more premium feel.

What an Anguilla day actually feels like
An Anguilla charter usually feels slower and more beach-focused than a typical St Maarten boat day.
Rather than moving constantly between locations, many guests spend longer enjoying the water, relaxing ashore, having lunch by the beach, and taking their time throughout the day.
The crossing itself is relatively short, allowing most of the day to be spent enjoying the destination rather than travelling to it.
Is Anguilla worth it by private boat?
For many visitors, yes.
The combination of clear water, beautiful beaches, short crossing times, and flexibility often makes Anguilla one of the most popular private charter destinations from St Martin & St Maarten.
