What this charter example shows

A full-day private charter to Anguilla is one of the most rewarding ways to spend a day on the water from St Martin / St Maarten, combining the inter-island crossing with beautiful beaches and a relaxed Caribbean atmosphere.

Unlike a charter that stays around St Maarten, part of the day is spent travelling between the islands and completing the necessary arrival and departure formalities. With a full day available, there’s still time to enjoy selected beaches, swim, explore the coastline or plan a relaxed lunch stop.

Some guests prefer a beach-focused day with time ashore, while others enjoy more swimming, snorkeling and coastal exploration.

Rather than following a fixed itinerary, EXPLR.SX will recommend a suitable charter based on your group, preferences, departure point and sea conditions, with practical arrangements confirmed before booking.
