Why this country

Sailing in St. Martin (French)

Saint-Martin is one island with two countries on it — French in the north, Dutch in the south — and that is only the beginning of the border arithmetic. Almost everything worth sailing to from here is a separate jurisdiction: Anguilla to the north-west, Saint-Barthélemy to the south-east, Saba and Sint Eustatius beyond. A week based here is a week of short hops between countries, which is unusual and genuinely part of the appeal.

Our thirty-six boats are almost all on the French side, at Marina Fort Louis in Marigot, and twenty-seven of them are catamarans. The sailing is trade-wind sailing, east to north-east at around fifteen knots through the dry season from mid-December to May. Distances are small — Anguilla is an hour or two, Saint-Barth half a day — but the channels between the islands are open water and they can be lumpy when the trades are up.

Practical consequence worth planning for: carry passports for everyone aboard, every day. Crossing to Anguilla or Saint-Barth means clearing in and out, and several of these places charge a small immigration fee in cash on arrival. It is not difficult, but it is not optional either, and it is the thing most crews are least prepared for.

Worth the detour

Where to drop anchor in St. Martin (French)

  • 1

    Marigot and Fort Louis

    The French capital, with a market by the harbour and the fort on the hill above giving a view across to Anguilla. Where most charters start.

  • 2

    Anguilla — Road Bay and Sandy Island

    An hour north-west, with some of the best beaches in the eastern Caribbean. Clearing in is required and the fees are modest but payable in cash.

  • 3

    Saint-Barthélemy — Gustavia

    Half a day south-east. A Swedish-built harbour town that is now the most expensive anchorage in the region — worth a night even if only to look.

  • 4

    Colombier Bay, Saint-Barth

    A protected bay on the north-west corner reachable only by boat or on foot. Mooring buoys and no development ashore.

  • 5

    Îlet Pinel

    A small island off the French north-east coast with shallow turquoise water between it and the shore. A short, easy first anchorage.

  • 6

    Tintamarre

    Uninhabited, just east of the main island, with a long beach and a nature reserve. Day anchorage rather than overnight.

  • 7

    Simpson Bay Lagoon

    A large enclosed lagoon shared between the two countries, entered through bridges that open on a timetable. Full services, and a hurricane hole.

  • 8

    Grand Case

    A single street of restaurants along a beach on the French side — the island's reputation for food largely comes from here.

Before you book

Local rules and paperwork in St. Martin (French)

Passports, every day
For everyone on board. Anguilla, Saint-Barth, Saba and Sint Eustatius are separate jurisdictions. This is the single most common thing crews are unprepared for here.
Clearance fees
Small, and often cash only. Several islands charge a modest immigration or cruising fee on arrival and do not take cards. Carry some cash from the start.
Experience expected
Around 20 days or 400 miles as skipper. On a comparable yacht. Most operators also want a recognised certificate — an ICC or ASA 104 — or evidence of previous bareboat charters.
If your experience is thinner
A skipper is the normal route. Below roughly 10 days or 200 miles as skipper, operators will ask you to take one rather than decline the booking.
Hurricane season
June – November. The island was severely hit in 2017 and operators take the season seriously. Mid-December to May is the charter window.

Checked October 2026. Rules change — confirm the detail that matters for your trip when you book.
