Admiral Yachts, the Italian Sea Group yard based in Marina di Carrara, builds steel and composite motor yachts from 40 metres upward with a design language that is distinctly Italian in its proportions and material choices. The yard’s emphasis on hull volume and exterior livability produces yachts with large aft decks, generous beach clubs, and saloons that flow easily between indoor and outdoor living. Chartering an Admiral yacht in Saint Martin delivers a well-sized motor yacht to one of the Caribbean’s most cosmopolitan anchorages.
Saint Martin’s dual identity, French on the northern side and Dutch on the southern, makes it one of the most varied single-island destinations in the Caribbean. The French capital of Marigot holds a waterfront market known for local produce, rum, and crafts, alongside a cafe and restaurant scene influenced by mainland France. Grand Case, a short dinghy ride or walk to the north, is renowned across the region for the concentration of high-quality restaurants on its single main street. The Dutch side’s Simpson Bay Lagoon provides the practical base: protected anchorage, marinas, fuel, provisioning, and airport connections at Princess Juliana. Admiral charter rates in the Caribbean run from 70,000 to 180,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent.
Anse Marcel to the north and Oyster Pond on the east coast provide alternative anchorages away from the Simpson Bay main approaches.
