St Martin is the perfect progression after your first or second yacht charter in the BVI. Perfect for sailing, it has good winds, moderate seas and several short distance sails to fantastic spots. Within a week sailing adventure you will experience the French West Indies (St. Martin and St. Barts), the Netherland or Dutch Antilles (St. Maarten) and the British independent island of Anguilla.. Off the beaten path you will also encounter little outlying islands, many of them deserted, such as Dog Island, Prickly Pear, Sandy Island, Ile Pinel and Tintamarre. Novice and experienced sailors alike will find the charter experience ideally suited to match their competence as the skipper. Sail from island to island on the 20 to 25 knot northeasterly prevailing winds during the winter months or the southeasterly 10 to 15 knot winds in the Summer. Paradise found. more

Split between French and Dutch ownership, the island of St Maarten has grown an amazing culture in line with both of its mother nations. An intriguing island with distinct personalities, you can experience the vibrant mixture of cultures that is matched by the island’s diverse scenery. In the Dutch side you’ll find beautiful Caribbean beaches, lively nightlife, casinos and discos to dance through the balmy evenings. Throughout the year the Dutch side hosts events and carnivals, with the colourful April festival lasting a month. A short drive south and the mood shifts to a more European feel, with the French influences lending an effortless style to the region and bringing gourmet cuisine. On this side you can embrace the carefree European attitude and work on your tan at one of the nude beaches.

Many charter yacht vacations begin in Simpson Bay, a sheltered lagoon accessible to yachts and home to many marinas where large superyachts moor. A short drive from the international airport, this spot is a perfect base from which to explore the nearby islands and further into the Caribbean. Across Saint Maarten you will find a beach, restaurant or trip to suit your mood. From busy urban areas to isolated beaches where you can anchor and enjoy some of the best Caribbean rum, the island has everything to offer. With true duty free shopping and chic boutiques offered by the French side, you can be sure to head home with some real treasures and Caribbean style. Saint Maarten is perfectly located with Anguilla, St. Barth’s and Antigua in easy sailing distance, so a week’s charter yacht vacation could see you touring some of the most beautiful spots in the Caribbean. As your trip comes to an end, you can sit on the beach right up until boarding time, as the runway almost touches Simpson Bay – quite a spectacular sight to watch the planes touch down to take you home.

St. Martin-St. Maarten was colonized in the late 1600s by both French and Dutch settlers. The island was officially divided into two territories in 1648, and has been dual-governed ever since. The French side is known for its fine restaurants and bustling beaches, whereas the Dutch territory is home to hundreds of casinos, bars and other nightlife. There are plenty of attractions to enjoy on the island, and beautiful waters to explore during your sailing vacation to St. Martin. here

I apologize for the delay. We have been out of the country for almost a month. The sailing was great. The Exuma Islands were amazing. The staff at Navtours were helpful and professional. On the last day (on the crossing back)—the impeller went bad. W…

Picture this: You wake up, and you are in the middle of the Caribbean. You’re relaxing on your yacht’s deck, soaking in the sun, and letting the fresh ocean breeze flow through your hair. The only thing that could make this blissful: Eggs Benedict and a chilled mimosa. more
