A shorter, more focused Anguilla experience

A half-day charter to Anguilla is designed as a shorter visit rather than a full experience. The focus is on reaching the island, enjoying one or two locations, and returning within a limited timeframe.

Because of the crossing, these trips are typically done on mid-size or larger boats, and the time available once in Anguilla is more limited than on a full-day charter.

If you’re looking to experience Anguilla more fully, a full-day charter is usually the better option.

If you’d prefer to stay around St Maarten, half-day and full-day charters are also available without crossing.
