Two services, one team: We charter private yachts for the day and arrange the classic 45-minute boat transfer from St. Martin. Same contact, same standards.

By sea

St. Barth,
from the water.

The island looks completely different from the sea. The hidden coves, the protected anchorage at Île Fourchue, the swim-up bars and the long lazy lunches at Colombier, they're all part of why people come back.

Whether it's a 45-minute crossing or a 9-hour charter, we match you with the right boat, the right captain and the right route.

How it works

Brief, board,
unwind.

Three steps and you're at anchor.

01

Tell us your day

Group size, date, what you want to do, sail, party, snorkel, swim, eat. Even a vague brief is enough.

02

We match the boat

Two or three vessels with crew bios, photos, and a route. Honest pros and cons of each.

03

Show up at the dock

Your driver brings you to Gustavia. The captain meets you, briefs the day, and casts off.

Good to know

About yacht days.

The questions we hear most often before a charter, and our straight answers.

What's the difference between shared and private boat transfer?

Shared transfers run on a fixed schedule (usually 4–5 crossings per day) and you share the boat with up to 11 others. Private transfers depart when you're ready, take only your group, and handle luggage with no limit.

Is it rough? I get seasick.

The crossing can be choppy in winter trades. Take medication 30 minutes before. For day charters, catamarans roll the least; pick one if seasickness is a concern.

Can we have lunch on board?

Yes. We arrange anything from simple platters to full plated lunches with a chef on board. For full-day charters, lunch is usually included; we tailor the menu.

Do we need passports for the boat transfer?

Yes. SXM and SBH are different countries (Sint Maarten / France). Bring passports, and we handle the ferry tickets and clearance.

How much luggage on a private transfer?

Effectively unlimited within reason. Hard cases, golf bags, ski bags, surfboards, fine. The boat has a covered front compartment and the captain handles loading.
