Boat rental in St MartinBoat Day
SXM

Use the form above: it opens WhatsApp with your request. We confirm availability, you send us the required documents, sign the rental terms online and pay 30% up front through a secure link. The balance is paid before you leave the dock.

Yes. More than 3 days before your trip, the 30% is refunded. Within 3 days, it's kept. If you don't show up, the full price is due.

If it isn't safe to go out, we move your day or refund you in full. During a cyclone watch or tropical storm warning, the trip is cancelled automatically, with the same choice.

Before departure we place a hold on your card: €2,400 for One Life 29, €2,900 for Paloma. It isn't charged. It's released within 7 days of your return if the boat comes back in good order.

Minor damage, lost equipment (anchor, fenders, life jackets), exceptional cleaning, late return (€150 per hour after 15 minutes) and unpaid fuel. We show you photos and the quote or invoice, and refund any difference.

It's declared to the boat's insurer and you pay the deductible: up to €7,200 for One Life 29 or €8,700 for Paloma, or the repair cost if lower. A tropical storm, cyclone or hurricane carries its own deductible: 10% of the boat's insured value, €11,496.50 for One Life 29 and €12,775 for Paloma, in every case. If the rules weren't followed (night sailing, alcohol, outside the zone, unregistered driver, more than 10 on board), insurance doesn't cover it and the full cost is yours.

The boat is insured, but injuries and personal belongings aren't covered during the rental. Take out travel insurance that covers water activities.

Yes, with an independent professional captain whom you hire and pay directly. We can give you contacts of licensed captains; you agree the fee with them. Their fee is separate from the boat rental.

You remain the renter. The security deposit, the deductible, fuel and fees apply exactly as if you were driving. The captain is registered as skipper on the check-out form, signs it, and has their own professional insurance.

Only the person registered as skipper on the check-out form may drive. If your friend meets the conditions (licence, 30+ or 5 years of licence), we register them at departure.

A French coastal licence or a foreign licence valid for this engine power. The skipper must be 30 or older, or have held the licence for more than 5 years. Bring two IDs and a proof of address.

It isn't included. We read the fuel used on the engine display before and after, and bill it at €1.60 per litre. As a guide, count about €30 to €50 for the west coast, €40 to €80 for the north coast and €70 to €100 for Anguilla. Consumption can triple between gentle cruising and full throttle. Normal engine use is 5 h for a full day; beyond that, €30 per extra hour.

Anywhere around Saint-Martin: Grand Case, Creole Rock, Anse Marcel, Pinel, Tintamarre, Baie Rouge, La Samanna. Pinel, Creole Rock and Tintamarre are inside the nature reserve, where you moor on the buoys only. Anguilla is picked when you book, as a full day, and confirmed case by case; the clearance fees and taxes are yours. Sandy Island and Prickly Pear are shallow: anchoring is never allowed there, you moor on a buoy, and only with a professional captain at the helm. You must be back before dark.

The boats are approved for 14 and 15 people, but for comfort and safety we take up to 10 by default. If your group is bigger, ask us before booking.

Kids are welcome and count as passengers: tell us their weight so we bring the right life jackets. Pets aren't allowed.
