Saint Martin stands apart in the Caribbean charter market: a single island, two sovereign territories, and an exceptional range of anchorages within easy reach. From 300,000 Euros per week, 14 yachts are available here, from sleek sailing yachts rounding the island’s windward coast to motor yachts based in Simpson Bay Lagoon. The island airport connects directly to major European and North American hubs, making embarkation straightforward.
Yachts in the 300,000 Euros per week bracket in Saint Martin deliver a well-rounded charter experience. Crew of four to six handles all deck and galley work, water toys include a tender, paddleboards and snorkelling gear, and most vessels carry jet skis or a dive compressor. The galleys are fully equipped, and chefs plan menus around daily market shopping in Marigot. Cabins are air-conditioned, and deck spaces are generously shaded for Caribbean conditions.
The base weekly rate of 300,000 Euros covers the yacht and crew. The advance provisioning allowance, usually around thirty percent of the charter fee, is collected before departure and covers fuel, food, drinks, marina fees and port dues, with any overspend or surplus settled at the end. Saint Martin’s peak season runs from mid-December through mid-April, when New Year bookings carry a premium. November and May offer equivalent sailing conditions with better availability.
Saint Martin offers some of the best day-cruising variety in the Caribbean. From Simpson Bay Lagoon, yachts clear Dutch customs and head to Marigot Bay on the French side for morning provisions and waterfront coffee. Ile Pinel, a short tender ride from French Cul de Sac, offers exceptional snorkelling across shallow coral heads. Tintamarre, two miles northeast, is a protected uninhabited island with a sheltered anchorage and clear water. Anguilla is forty minutes north, with Shoal Bay’s white sand and Road Bay marina for lunch. Saint Barts, one hour south, adds boutique restaurants and a glamorous harbour atmosphere to the itinerary.
