Yacht Charters for a villa stay in St Martin

How it works with Coral Villas

St Martin sits in a small archipelago, and some of its best places are only reachable by boat. A private charter takes your group out for a half or full day, a sunset sail, or an overnight trip to a neighboring island, with a captain who knows where the water is calm that day.

The closest trips stay within the Réserve Naturelle de Saint-Martin on the French side. Tintamarre, a flat and uninhabited island off the east coast, has a long empty beach and good snorkeling. Pinel Island is a short hop from Cul de Sac, with calm water and beach restaurants. Creole Rock, off Grand Case, is a snorkeling stop where turtles are often spotted.

Further out, Anguilla is about an hour away by boat, with white beaches and quiet cays such as Prickly Pear and Sandy Island. St Barths is a longer crossing, for lunch in Gustavia or a swim at Colombier. Trips to either island mean clearing customs, and everyone on board needs a passport; we arrange the paperwork with the boat.

Boats range from sailing catamarans, stable and roomy for families, to motor yachts that cover distance faster for island hopping. We match the boat to the size of the group, the route and the sea, and on the day the captain decides where it is best to go.

Lunch and drinks can be served on board or at a beach restaurant along the way. The price depends on the boat, the length of the charter and the route, and we send a written quote before you confirm.

Questions and answers

Where can we go on a day charter from St Martin?

Close by: Tintamarre, Pinel Island and the snorkeling at Creole Rock, all within the French-side nature reserve. Further out: Anguilla, with Prickly Pear and Sandy Island, or St Barths for lunch in Gustavia. We plan the route around your group and the sea that day.

Do we need a passport for a boat trip to Anguilla or St Barths?

Yes. Both trips mean clearing customs, so everyone on board needs a valid passport. We arrange the paperwork with the boat before the day.

How many people can come on a charter?

That depends on the boat. Tell us the size of the group and we find a boat that suits it; for large groups we can arrange a bigger vessel or two boats.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The captain decides on the day. Often a sheltered route works; otherwise we move the charter to another day. The terms for rescheduling are set out in the quote before you confirm.
