Before you book

Good questions

All questions
What is included?

Every charter includes a professional captain, fuel, snorkelling gear, light snacks, fresh towels and drinks: water, soft drinks, juices, beer, spirits, rosé and champagne. The VanDutch 55 also has a steward aboard; the Marlin 35 carries a floating mat and a paddleboard.

Where do we board?

From one of our departure points around the island, including Bobby’s Marina in Philipsburg, Simpson Bay, Porto Cupecoy and Fort Louis in Marigot. Which ones are possible depends on the boat; see Departures for details.

Do I need a passport?

Only if you visit Anguilla or St. Barths. The boat clears customs on arrival, and any customs or entry fees are confirmed with your quote. Local days around Tintamarre and Pinel need no passport.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Your captain has the final say on safety. If conditions are not right for the planned route, we will suggest a sheltered alternative or move the charter to another day.
