Private charters in St Martin / St Maarten
Half-day private boat trip to Anguilla
See what a shorter private boat trip from St Martin / St Maarten to Anguilla could look like, with a focused visit to enjoy the coastline, clear-water swimming or a relaxing beach stop.
This is an example experience, not a fixed itinerary or individual boat listing. EXPLR.SX will recommend the right available charter for your group and confirm whether a half-day trip is practical before you book.
What this charter example shows
A half-day private charter to Anguilla can work well for guests who want a shorter visit without setting aside an entire day.
The journey still involves crossing between St Maarten and Anguilla and completing the necessary arrival and departure formalities. That leaves less time for exploring than on a full-day charter.
The best half-day experiences therefore focus on one main swimming, snorkeling or beach location rather than trying to visit several beaches.
Departure point, sea conditions and clearance timing all make a difference. EXPLR.SX will check whether a half-day Anguilla charter is practical for your group and recommend a full-day alternative when that would offer a better experience.

Boat style and pricing guidance
Boat style
Half-day Anguilla charters are generally arranged aboard comfortable private powerboats suited to the inter-island crossing.
The right boat depends on your group size, departure point, comfort preferences, sea conditions and current availability. For a shorter Anguilla trip, choosing a practical departure point and suitable itinerary can be just as important as the boat itself.
EXPLR.SX will recommend an appropriate charter for your plans.
Pricing guidance
Half-day private charters to Anguilla typically start from US$1,100 per boat, with larger and more premium charters priced higher.
Because the crossing and entry formalities still apply, a half-day Anguilla charter can cost relatively close to some full-day options, despite offering less time at the destination.
Final pricing depends on the boat, group size, departure point, duration and itinerary. Customs or clearance charges may apply separately. We’ll confirm the price, inclusions and any known additional costs before you book.
Important notes
The coastal snorkeling and beach-time itineraries shown above are two separate examples, not one combined route.
Half-day Anguilla charters include the inter-island crossings and applicable customs and immigration formalities. The departure point, sea conditions and time required for clearance all affect how much time remains for swimming or relaxing.
Guests need the travel documents required for entry based on their nationality and immigration status. We’ll confirm the practical arrangements, applicable clearance charges and any known additional costs before you book.
