Sailing into St. Martin is like discovering two countries on one stunning island. Split between the French north (Saint-Martin) and Dutch south (Sint Maarten), this lively destination offers a unique blend of European flair and Caribbean rhythm.
On the French side, you’ll find charming coastal villages like Grand Case, famous for its gourmet beachfront dining and pastel Creole houses. Anchor in the bay and step ashore for an unforgettable evening of fine cuisine, local music, and relaxed island vibes. Just a short sail away is Îlet Pinel, a postcard-perfect lagoon with calm waters, laid-back beach bars, and fantastic snorkeling.
The Dutch side offers a more vibrant scene—think duty-free shopping in Philipsburg, buzzing beach clubs at Maho Beach, and thrilling water sports from jet-skiing to parasailing. No matter your mood, St. Martin offers something for everyone.
