Best Season for Yacht Charter in St Martin - Sint Maarten

Winter (Peak Season) – The dry season from December through April is widely considered the best time for a yacht charter in St Martin. During these months, the weather is warm and sunny, with daytime temperatures typically ranging from the high 70s to mid-80s °F (around 25–29°C). Steady trade winds this time of year provide excellent sailing conditions – brisk enough for adventurous sailing yet gentle enough for comfort. The winter months also coincide with a festive atmosphere on the island. Major events like the famous St. Maarten Heineken Regatta in March draws sailing aficionados from around the world. With little rainfall and calm seas, it’s prime time for snorkeling, beach hopping, and sunset cocktails on deck. Do note that this high season is popular – marinas and luxury villas book up quickly – so it’s wise to reserve your yacht charter St Martin well in advance to secure your preferred dates and vessel.

Summer (Off-Season) – The summer and early fall (roughly May through November) bring warmer temperatures (often mid-80s to low 90s °F, or 29–33°C) and higher humidity to St Martin. This period overlaps with the Caribbean hurricane season (July–October), meaning there is an increased chance of tropical rain and storms. However, many days in summer are still beautiful and sunny, and the seas remain bathtub-warm. The benefit of a summer charter is the tranquil atmosphere – you’ll encounter fewer crowds at popular beaches and anchorages, and charter rates are often more attractive. It’s a more relaxed, budget-friendly time to experience St Martin’s beauty. Charter companies and crews closely monitor weather forecasts in these months, adjusting itineraries around any storm systems to ensure safety. If you’re flexible and seek solitude, a summer yachting trip can be rewarding – imagine having hidden coves or even famous spots largely to yourself. For many, the shoulder months of May–June and November strike an ideal balance: generally good weather, fewer tourists, and a lush green island after seasonal rains. Whenever you choose to visit, St Martin’s year-round warmth means there’s always some sunshine to enjoy on deck. Ask Boatcrowd for expert advice on the best timing – whether it’s a winter holiday or a summer adventure, we’ll ensure your charter in St Martin is unforgettable.

Yacht Day Charter St Martin – Most Popular Destinations for a Day Trip

A day charter in St Martin is perfect for sampling the island’s highlights or hopping to nearby islets in just a few hours. Many luxury travelers opt for a day trip to celebrate special occasions or simply to add a VIP experience to their vacation. Here are some of the most popular day charter destinations and experiences around St Martin:

• Pinel Island: A tiny island off St Martin’s east coast, Pinel is a favorite for its calm, shallow lagoon waters and castaway charm. It’s accessible only by boat, giving it an exclusive feel. You can wade among starfish in knee-deep turquoise water or snorkel over gentle reefs – it’s an ideal stop for families and first-time snorkelers. On shore, Pinel has casual beach restaurants serving fresh lobster and tropical drinks under the palms, so you can enjoy a laid-back lunch with toes in the sand. (Tip: Arrive with your private yacht charter and you can savor Pinel’s beauty before or after the small ferry crowds, enjoying the island on your own schedule.)

• Tintamarre Island: Part of the St Martin Nature Reserve, uninhabited Tintamarre offers a true Robinson Crusoe vibe just a short cruise from the main island. Its secluded white-sand beach (Baie Blanche) is often blissfully empty in the morning. Yachts anchor just offshore, allowing guests to swim in for a stroll along the shore to spot shells and perhaps wild hermit crabs. Snorkeling is a highlight here – green sea turtles are frequently seen grazing in the seagrass, and you might encounter rays and colorful reef fish in the clear shallows. Tintamarre even has a bit of local lore with its natural mud baths, where visitors can apply mineral-rich clay found on the island for a fun spa-like experience. It’s an adventurous yet tranquil day charter stop.

• Maho Beach (Airport Beach): St Martin’s Maho Beach is world-famous for its thrilling plane-spotting spectacle. Located at the end of the international airport runway on the Dutch side, Maho allows you to watch jumbo jets descend just overhead – an unforgettable sight best enjoyed from the comfort of your yacht’s flybridge with a cocktail in hand. Anchoring just off Maho Bay gives you a front-row seat as airplanes roar over the turquoise water to land. In between flight times, you can swim or snorkel nearby (there’s a shallow reef along the edges of the bay). The vibe is lively – beach bars like Sunset Bar are right onshore if you want to tender in for a drink amid the excitement. Few day charter experiences compare to sipping champagne on deck while a 747 soars low above you – Maho is a must-see for aviation enthusiasts and fun-seekers alike.

• Anguilla’s Prickly Pear Cays: One of the advantages of chartering in St Martin is its proximity to other idyllic islands. A popular day trip is a jaunt over to Anguilla, the British territory just to the north (about 10 nautical miles away). Anguilla is famous for its uncrowded ivory-white beaches and tranquil atmosphere. On a day charter, many head to the Prickly Pear Cays, two small uninhabited islands off Anguilla’s coast known for vibrant coral reefs and exceptional snorkeling. Here you can swim among colorful fish and healthy corals in crystal-clear water, then relax on a deserted beach straight out of a postcard. Often, a beach barbecue lunch can be arranged – picture feasting on fresh grilled seafood with your feet in soft sand. Anguilla day trips combine laid-back luxury with a touch of adventure, letting you experience a second island nation and be back to St Martin by late afternoon. (Note: Passports are required when chartering to Anguilla, but your Boatcrowd captain handles the entry details while you enjoy the ride.)

Of course, these are just a few options. St Martin yacht charters can be customized – whether you crave a secluded beach day, a snorkeling safari, or a high-energy cruise past mega-yachts in Simpson Bay Lagoon. With Boatcrowd’s local knowledge, your day charter itinerary will be tailored to your interests, ensuring an unforgettable taste of St Martin’s magic in a single day.

3 Day Yacht Charter St Martin (within Sint Maarten waters)

For those with a long weekend to spare, a 3-day yacht charter in St Martin and Sint Maarten offers a tantalizing sampler of the island’s best sights and experiences. This sample itinerary (spanning three days and two nights, noon-to-noon) stays within St Martin’s waters, balancing relaxation with a dash of adventure. Each day, you’ll enjoy crewed luxury on board your private yacht – gourmet meals, water sports, and personalized service – while exploring different corners of the Friendly Island. Boatcrowd’s team will refine every detail to your preferences, but here’s an example of what a three-day St Martin itinerary can look like:

Day 1: French Side Welcome and Coastal Cruising

• Noon – Embarkation in Marigot (French St Martin): Your yacht charter begins in Marigot, the charming French-side capital known for its picturesque harbor and colonial-era Fort Louis on the hill. The crew greets you on board with a champagne welcome and a safety briefing. By early afternoon, you set sail along St Martin’s west coast, feeling the gentle breeze as you cruise past palm-fringed beaches and the iconic silhouette of Fort Louis.
• Afternoon – Snorkeling at Creole Rock: Head north to Grand Case Bay, a calm anchorage famed for its dining scene. Just offshore is Creole Rock, a shallow reef outcrop teeming with marine life. Don mask and fins for an introductory snorkel – the site is known for vibrant tropical fish and corals, perfect for all skill levels. Swimming in warm, crystal-clear water amid sergeant majors and parrotfish is the perfect way to kick off your yacht adventure. Back on board, your private chef serves a late lunch (perhaps grilled mahi-mahi with a French-Caribbean twist, paired with chilled rosé), as you lounge on deck taking in views of Anguilla on the horizon.
• Evening – Grand Case Gourmet Experience: As sunset approaches, your yacht anchors in Grand Case Bay. The sky streaks pink and orange as you take the tender ashore to explore Grand Case, often called the “gourmet capital of the Caribbean” for its array of fine restaurants. Stroll along the beach road lined with colorful cottages and choose between upscale St Martin French eateries or local BBQ “lolos” serving créole ribs and johnny cakes. Whether you opt for a casual seafood grill or a multi-course French dinner, the cuisine here is superb. After dinner, wander the village’s boutique shops or simply enjoy the moonlit beach. Return to your yacht and fall asleep to the gentle rocking at anchor, under a canopy of stars. (Overnight at Grand Case Bay.)

Day 2: Island Adventures – Tintamarre & Pinel

• Morning – Deserted Island Bliss at Tintamarre: Wake up to fresh coffee and croissants served on deck, with the sunrise painting the sky. This morning, cruise a short distance around St Martin’s northern tip to Tintamarre Island, an uninhabited gem within the nature reserve. Arriving early, you’ll likely have Tintamarre’s pristine beach all to yourself. Go ashore to feel the powdery sand between your toes; perhaps take a leisurely walk down the shore to spot seashells and the old 1940s airstrip remnants – echoes of the island’s history. The calm, clear waters are inviting for a swim or snorkel; sea turtles often glide in the shallows here, so keep an eye out as you float above seagrass beds. Your crew can even set up a makeshift beach lounge – a sun umbrella, chairs, and a cooler – so you can savor a “castaway” moment in total comfort, with your yacht anchored just off the beach as the ultimate backdrop.
• Midday – Beach Lunch at Pinel Island: By late morning, sail a short hop over to Îlet Pinel, another favorite islet just off St Martin’s east coast. The captain navigates the shallow channel to anchor close to Pinel’s shore. You’ll take a tender in for lunch at one of Pinel’s beloved beach restaurants, where tables sit right on the sand. Indulge in a laid-back meal of perhaps grilled Caribbean lobster or fresh snapper, paired with a tangy rum punch or coconut cocktail. Friendly iguanas might wander near your table hoping for scraps – Pinel’s unofficial mascots! After lunch, the island is yours to enjoy. Swim in the calm, waist-deep waters of the lagoon (perfect for young kids), or grab a paddleboard from the yacht to explore the bay. There’s a short hiking trail on Pinel that leads to a panoramic viewpoint – a worthwhile trek for sweeping views of Orient Bay and nearby islets. As the afternoon sun drifts lower, most day-trippers leave on the ferry, and you’ll relish having this slice of paradise nearly to yourself.
• Evening – Dutch Side Glamour in Simpson Bay: In late afternoon, your yacht lifts anchor and cruises south along the coast, transitioning from the French side to the Dutch side (the open border means no paperwork needed). Enjoy the scenic ride past Orient Bay’s kite surfers and the green hills of mid-island. By early evening, enter Simpson Bay, the hub of nightlife and yachting on the Dutch side. You may choose to dock at an upscale marina (where you’ll have on-shore access to boutiques and maybe a casino), or anchor in the bay with views of the twinkling shoreline. Dinner is your choice tonight: stay aboard for a gourmet meal prepared by your chef – perhaps dining al fresco under the stars – or step ashore to sample the Dutch side’s vibrant evening scene. The crew can arrange a reservation at a top restaurant or a visit to Maho’s casino if you’re feeling lucky. Cap the night with a tropical nightcap on deck as music from distant beach bars drifts over the water. (Overnight in Simpson Bay, Dutch St Maarten.)

Day 3: Dutch Side Delights and Farewell

• Morning – Last Swims & Sights: Your final day begins with a leisurely breakfast on the aft deck, surrounded by the calm waters of Simpson Bay. The schedule today is flexible – it’s all about savoring every last moment of your yacht charter St Martin. You might cruise a short way to Mullet Bay or back to Maho Beach for one more swim and the thrill of low-flying planes (it never gets old!). Or perhaps visit Cupecoy Beach, known for its golden cliffs and clear waters, for a tranquil swim and snorkel stop – a beautiful, secluded spot to reflect on the journey. If you’re a golf enthusiast, you’ll spot the lush golf course adjacent to Cupecoy’s shore, marking one more facet of St Maarten’s luxury offerings.
• Midday – Return to Port: Around midday, your chef serves up a final lunch – imagine savoring local Caribbean flavors like creole fish or Johnny cakes as you dine underway. The yacht then charts a course back toward the marina, cruising along St Maarten’s southwestern coast. Enjoy the last panoramas of the island – the vibrant blue lagoon, the pastel buildings of Philipsburg in the distance, and perhaps a last glimpse of Fort Louis if you pass Marigot on the return. Arrival at the marina is typically by early-to-mid afternoon. The crew will handle your luggage and customs clearance (if any) seamlessly while you exchange heartfelt goodbyes. In just three days, you’ve experienced uninhabited islands, gourmet dining, snorkeling adventures, and the unique blend of French-Dutch culture that makes St Martin and Sint Maarten so special. As you disembark, you carry with you memories to last a lifetime and perhaps a resolve to return for a longer voyage.

5 Day Yacht Charter St Martin (incl. Anguilla)

If you can indulge in a bit more time at sea, a 5-day yacht charter opens up even greater horizons. Over five days and four nights, you can not only enjoy St Martin’s dual personalities but also sail to the enchanting island of Anguilla (and even sneak in a touch of St Martin’s chic cousin, St Barths, if desired). This sample itinerary focuses on St Martin and Anguilla, giving you a taste of two different island nations on one luxurious voyage. With Boatcrowd’s expert crew handling the logistics, you’re free to soak up the sun, sea, and scenery. Here’s an example of how a 5-day St Martin yacht charter might unfold:

Day 1: Marigot to Grand Case – French Side Flavors

• Afternoon Departure from Marigot: Begin your journey on the French side, where you’ll board your yacht in Marigot’s marina around noon. As you settle in with a welcome drink, take in the view of Marigot’s colorful waterfront and distant Anguilla just across the channel. The yacht gets underway, tracing a leisurely route up St Martin’s west coast. Enjoy views of Longue Bay’s golden sands and the upscale villas dotting the shoreline. By mid-afternoon, you arrive at Grand Case Bay – a picture-perfect anchorage known for its calm waters and charming village ashore.
• Snorkel and Sunset in Grand Case: Jump into the clear sea for an afternoon snorkel around Creole Rock or along the rocky edges of the bay, where you might spot angel fish, sergeant majors, and maybe a turtle gliding by. Water sports are at your fingertips – perhaps try a stand-up paddleboard session in the gentle bay or simply float and let all stress melt away. As the sun dips low, casting a warm glow over the bay, your yacht remains at anchor to offer a prime sunset viewing. Grand Case’s pastel buildings and bobbing sailboats make a lovely silhouette against the orange sky.
• Evening in the “Gourmet Capital”: Tonight, experience Grand Case’s renowned culinary scene. You can opt to dine on board – your chef can prepare a French-inspired feast featuring freshly caught fish and local spices – or venture ashore. Along Grand Case Boulevard, you have your pick of fine dining establishments and casual eateries. Savor dishes like coconut curry shrimp or classic French foie gras at a seaside bistro, followed by a stroll to an ice cream parlor or local art gallery. The vibe in Grand Case is lively yet laid-back, with music often drifting from open-air bars. Back on the yacht, enjoy a nightcap under the stars. (Overnight at Grand Case, French St Martin.)

Day 2: Anguilla – Tranquil Beaches and Snorkeling Paradise

• Morning Voyage to Anguilla: After breakfast, the crew clears out with St Martin’s customs (if required) and you set sail for Anguilla, St Martin’s northern neighbor known for its pristine beaches and low-key luxury. It’s a short crossing – roughly an hour’s cruise – and soon the outline of Anguilla’s flat, green shoreline comes into focus. Anguilla’s name comes from the French word for eel, apt for its long thin shape stretching 16 miles. By late morning, you’ve arrived at a slice of paradise: the Prickly Pear Cays just off Anguilla’s coast.
• Midday – Snorkeling at Prickly Pear Cays: Anchor off Prickly Pear, where the water is an unbelievable shade of turquoise. Dive in for world-class snorkeling – these cays are famous for pristine coral reefs and abundant marine life. You’ll likely encounter rainbow-colored parrotfish, swaying sea fans, and perhaps a friendly stingray gliding over the sand. The crew can guide novice snorkelers, while more experienced free-divers explore deeper reef sections. After your underwater adventures, swim ashore to the small beach where a rustic bar often operates (on days when excursions visit) – you might grab a refreshing drink of punch or coconut water. Otherwise, enjoy the utter tranquility of having a beautiful cay virtually to yourself, with only seabirds and the gentle lap of waves for company.
• Afternoon – Beach Bliss in Anguilla: Next, your captain charts a course to the main island of Anguilla. Choose a marquee beach for the afternoon based on your mood – Shoal Bay East is a top pick, routinely ranked among the world’s best beaches for its two-mile stretch of powdery white sand and vibrant fringing reef. Here you can swim in calm, gin-clear water and soak up the sun in privacy. Alternatively, anchor off Sandy Island (a tiny sandbar islet off Anguilla) for a unique experience – this speck of sand is home to a single quaint beach bar and offers fantastic snorkeling just feet from shore. By late afternoon, head into Road Bay (Sandy Ground), Anguilla’s main anchorage. This scenic bay has a charming beach lined with beach clubs and casual restaurants, and it’s an ideal spot to spend the night.
• Evening – Anguilla’s Laid-Back Luxury: Enjoy sunset from the flybridge as Anguilla’s coastline is bathed in soft light. For dinner, you could stay aboard for a gourmet BBQ prepared by your chef – perhaps Anguillan crayfish (a local delicacy) grilled to perfection. Or venture ashore to one of the relaxed beachside eateries at Sandy Ground village. Despite Anguilla’s refinement, the vibe is very relaxed – think toes-in-the-sand dining with reggae tunes playing. After dinner, you might stroll the beach or visit a local beach bar if there’s live music. The stars shine brightly with minimal light pollution. (Overnight at Road Bay, Anguilla.)

Day 3: Anguilla to St Martin – Hidden Coves and Nature

• Morning – Leisure in Anguilla: Wake to the gentle rocking of the yacht and perhaps a morning swim right off the stern – there’s nothing like starting the day in crystal-clear Caribbean water. This morning you have time to see another side of Anguilla. You could cruise westward to Rendezvous Bay, a stunning arc of sand with views back toward St Martin, to enjoy a beach stroll or a bit of kayaking along the shore. If you’re eager for one more snorkel, the crew can take you to Little Bay, a secluded cove only accessible by boat, famed for its dramatic cliffs and tame turtles – it’s a snorkeling gem with very few visitors (you might even spot a rare tropicbird nesting in the cliffside). Anguilla’s beauty lies in its simplicity: no crowds, just pure beach and sea.
• Midday – Return to St Martin (Nature Reserve): Around midday, bid farewell to Anguilla and set sail back toward St Martin’s northeast. Your destination is Tintamarre Island or Pinel Island (depending on what you may have missed or loved most). By early afternoon, you reach Tintamarre’s calm bay once again (if you didn’t visit on Day 2 of the shorter itinerary, now’s your chance) – jump in for a refreshing swim and to greet the sea turtles one more time. Alternatively, if you prefer, head to Pinel Island’s inviting shallows for a relaxing float and perhaps a second helping of their famous rum punch on the beach. Being a mid-week schedule now, these spots are even quieter; it feels like the nature reserve is your private playground.
• Evening – Orient Bay Sunsets: As the late-afternoon sun starts to wane, cruise along the coast to Orient Bay on St Martin’s French side. Orient is the island’s longest beach, known for its vibrant scene, but by late day it’s peaceful. Anchor off the bay or tuck into the Cove of Green Cay (Caye Verte) for a sheltered overnight. Enjoy sunset cocktails on board with a panoramic view: the sky here often explodes in cotton-candy colors reflecting off the Atlantic. For dinner, you might savor a fine French meal on board (imagine filet mignon with local island spices, or a classic bouillabaisse soup made from the day’s catch). If you’re inclined to go ashore, Orient Village has a few beachfront restaurants and bars where you can dine with your feet in the sand. As night falls, relish the gentle trade winds and the sound of waves lapping the hull. (Overnight at Orient Bay or Green Cay, St Martin.)

Day 4: Circumnavigating St Martin – Dutch Side Glitz

• Morning – Sailing and Sightseeing: Today you’ll make your way around to the Dutch St Maarten side again, completing a near-circle of the island. After a leisurely breakfast, the yacht sets out, passing by the rugged coastline of French St Martin’s windward side. Gaze at the lush mountains and small villages from the water. If conditions permit, you might stop at Île Fourchue (a deserted islet between St Martin and St Barths) for a remote snorkeling spot – it’s a bit out of the way, but offers excellent underwater scenery with chances to see rays and schools of reef fish. Otherwise, continue toward the Dutch side directly. By midday, you round Phillipsburg (the Dutch capital, visible with its cruise ship pier and boardwalk) and enter Great Bay or round the corner to Simpson Bay Lagoon entrance.
• Midday – Lunch in Simpson Bay Lagoon: Cruise into Simpson Bay Lagoon, one of the Caribbean’s largest natural lagoons, via the Dutch side bridge opening. Inside the lagoon, it’s a different world – calm, lake-like waters dotted with impressive superyachts and sailboats from around the globe. The crew finds a tranquil spot for lunch at anchor. Enjoy watching the comings and goings of luxury yachts; this is a prime hub of elite yachting, and you’re right in the heart of it. Lunch could be a festive affair – perhaps a beach picnic setup on the aft deck, so you dine with 360° views of the lagoon’s marinas and the hills beyond. If you’re up for activity, the lagoon’s flat waters are perfect for trying out the yacht’s water toys: zip around on jet skis, bounce on a towable tube, or test your balance on a paddleboard.
• Afternoon – High-Energy Fun: In the afternoon, your captain can take you on a brief lagoon sightseeing tour. You might pass by the premium marinas like Yacht Club Port de Plaisance or Isle de Sol, where gleaming mega-yachts are moored (keep an eye out for any celebrity-owned vessels!). Exiting the lagoon, consider a final exhilarating stop at Maho Beach(if you haven’t already or if you want to feel that thrill again). Times your arrival for a big aircraft landing if possible – the crew can check the airport schedule. Toast with champagne each time a jet roars low over the yacht – this never fails to elicit wide grins and awe, no matter how many times you’ve seen it. Then perhaps move a short distance to Mullet Bay(adjacent, with calmer swimming) for one last swim in the Caribbean Sea.
• Evening – Farewell Dinner & Celebration: On this final evening of your charter, anchor in Simpson Bay or dock at the marina as per your preference. This is a night to celebrate an incredible journey. Boatcrowd can arrange a special farewell dinner: whether it’s a private beach barbecue on a quiet stretch of sand, a custom tasting menu crafted by your chef, or reservations at one of St Maarten’s top fine-dining restaurants – we’ll make it magical. Many charter guests choose to dress up a bit and hit the town: the Dutch side offers casinos, live music clubs, or chic rooftop lounges if you wish to end on a festive note. Alternatively, enjoy the yacht’s amenities – soak in the deck jacuzzi under the stars or have the crew mix your favorite cocktails for a low-key night. Either way, a toast is in order to the memories made. (Overnight in Simpson Bay or Marina, St Maarten.)

Day 5: Goodbye Paradise – Return to Port

• Morning – Last Sunrise and Leisure: The final morning greets you gently. Perhaps take in one last sunrise from the bow – the sky over St Martin often comes alive in pinks and golds at dawn. Enjoy an indulgent breakfast of tropical fruits, Johnny cakes, and omelets made to order. There’s time for a last dip in the sea or a relaxed hour of sunbathing on deck. You might reflect on your favorite moments – was it the serene isolation of Anguilla’s beaches, the thrill of snorkeling with turtles, or the simple pleasure of quality time with loved ones on a luxurious yacht?
• By Noon – Disembarkation: As mid-day approaches, the yacht returns to the harbor (typically back to the original port on St Martin). The crew assists with your bags and any duty formalities. It’s hard to say goodbye, but you depart richly filled with the experiences of two islands: the laid-back luxury of Anguilla and the vibrant allure of St Martin and Sint Maarten. In five days, you’ve savored French boulangerie pastries and local BBQ, snorkeled coral gardens and swum in sapphire lagoons, danced under the stars and basked on hidden sands. This is the essence of a luxury yacht charter St Martin – so many worlds in one, all enjoyed at your own pace.

As you step ashore, you’re not just leaving a destination – you’re leaving what felt like a floating private resort staffed with a crew who have become friends. The good news? The Caribbean has more to explore, and St Martin with Sint Maarten will gladly welcome you back. Boatcrowd is ready to assist with your next adventure whenever you’re ready. Until then, cherish the memories and thank you for chartering with Boatcrowd.

Week-long Yacht Charter St Martin (8 Days/7 Nights)

For the ultimate yachting getaway, consider a week-long yacht charter from St Martin or Sint Maarten, which typically spans 8 days and 7 nights. With a full week at your disposal, the possibilities expand to a truly grand tour of the north-eastern Caribbean – all in VIP style. St Martin’s prime location in the Leeward Islands means you can easily include excursions to the exclusive French island of St Barths and the tranquil British island of Anguilla, crafting an itinerary that hits three distinct destinations in one seamless journey. This is the kind of charter cherished by families celebrating milestones and experienced charter guests seeking a deeper exploration. The pace is unhurried, allowing you to fully immerse in each locale’s unique atmosphere while your professional crew caters to your every need.

Imagine starting in St Martin, where you experience the best of both worlds – chic French-inspired towns and the bustling fun of the Dutch side – then embarking on a leisurely loop to neighboring gems. Over 8 days, you could spend time on Anguilla’s uncrowded beaches and coral cays, enjoying its famously serene and upscale ambiance. With extra days, you might anchor off Anguilla’s Sandy Island for a full day of beach relaxation and a lobster BBQ, or explore hidden coves like Little Bay with its crystal-clear snorkeling and dramatic cliffs. The added time lets you linger longer at each stop: no rush to leave that perfect beach or cut short that impromptu beach bar revelry – you have all the time to savor the moment.

A week-long charter also means you can venture to Saint Barthélemy (St Barths), the crown jewel of Caribbean luxury living. Just 22 miles southeast of St Martin, St Barths offers a striking contrast – it’s where ultimate luxury meets quaint island charm. Spend a day or two in St Barths’ chic capital, Gustavia, which boasts high-end boutiques (from Cartier to Hermès) and vibrant cafés lining the harbor. Your yacht can dock in Gustavia’s exclusive marina, putting you steps away from designer shopping and people-watching at waterfront bistros. Beyond the town, St Barths’ pristine beaches await: shell-laden Shell Beach for a unique sunbathing experience, stunning Colombier Bay accessible only by boat (a favorite anchorage for its beauty), or St. Jean Beach next to the famed Eden Rock Hotel, where you can sip cocktails at Nikki Beach club alongside celebrities. Evenings in St Barths might mean fine French dining at a gourmet restaurant or an onboard soiree under the stars – the island’s sophisticated vibe will surely inspire a bit of glamor.

Back in St Martin, a week charter allows you to delve deeper into the island’s lesser-known treasures as well. You could sail to the southern tip of Sing Maarten to visit Phillipsburg by day for its historic Dutch charm and duty-free shopping, or include a stop at Creole Rock or Crocus Bay for any snorkel spots you missed. With the luxury of time, there’s also the option for a further flung adventure: perhaps a day sail to Saba, the “Unspoiled Queen” of the Caribbean, known for its dramatic peak and world-class diving – though it has no beaches, its sheer uniqueness and old Caribbean feel make it a standout excursion for the intrepid. In one week, your yacht can truly be your floating five-star hotel, effortlessly moving between these islands while you wake up to a new paradise each day.

Throughout an 8D/7N St Martin charter, Boatcrowd’s crew and specialists ensure every day is tailored to your desires. Want an adrenaline day? We’ll set up water-skiing in the morning and perhaps an onshore ATV tour in St Kitts (yes, even that is possible on a longer charter hop). Craving pure relaxation? We’ll find the most secluded anchorage for a beach picnic and arrange spa treatments on board at sunset. The extended itinerary means more flexibility for spontaneous moments too – like chasing an extra day of perfect sailing because the wind is just right, or staying an extra night in a favorite bay because the stars are particularly brilliant. By the end of the week, you won’t just have visited destinations – you’ll have woven a rich tapestry of experiences: three countries, countless beaches, world-class dining, snorkeling, sailing, and indulgent relaxation, all in one journey.

In essence, a week-long yacht charter St Martin and Stin Maarten is the ultimate Caribbean yachting experience. It’s a voyage where each island adds its own flavor: the cosmopolitan flair and natural beauty of St Martin, the untouched tranquility of Anguilla, and the glitz and glamour of St Barths. All the while, your luxurious yacht – be it a sleek motor yacht or a wind-catching sailing catamaran – is both your transportation and your private sanctuary. Every sunrise sees you in a new breathtaking locale, and every sunset is celebrated in style. This is the kind of trip that redefines what a vacation can be, turning moments into lifelong memories.
