Boat Charter in Saint Martin

Charter a private yacht in Saint Martin with Scansail

We aren’t referring to a Catholic saint when we mention Saint Martin. We are referring to an island which is part of the Leeward islands, located in the Caribbean. Saint Martin is divided between two countries: the northern part (Saint-Martin) belongs to France, while the southern half (Sint-Maarten) is Dutch. The border that separates these two parts is unique because it is the only European Union border that exists outside of the continent itself. While the entire island is a major tourist destination, the two halves have different things to offer.

On the French side, also known as “Sunsoaked Island”, you can visit Loterie Farm for an adrenaline rush, go swinging among the treetops (literally) or hike along its trails up to Pic Paradis, the highest point on the island. The French side also has beautiful beaches like Orient Beach where you can even wear your birthday suit, but only if you want to! For a small slice of paradise, sail over to Lle Pinel which is fairly secluded and a perfect place to surf or snorkel. For turtle-watching, set sail to Tintamarre Island where you can swim with the sea turtles!

Now, take your Saint Martin yacht rental to the Dutch side which is known as “The Resilient Island”, after surviving the wrath of Hurricane Irma. Here, thrill seekers will find the world’s steepest zipline, and those who like nature can visit The Butterfly Farm. For beaches, visit Mullet bay for soft, white sand and protected coves and then embark on a sunset cruise around the Dutch capital of Philipsburg.
