St Maarten Boat Rental, the perfect holidays

I. What time of year is the best for a boat trip in St Maarten? The Leeward Islands that include the island of St Martin are constantly cooled by trade winds, so it’s comfortable to visit them all year around. From the sailors’ point of view the best sailing is around Xmas time and the lightest is in the middle of the hurricane season.

II. How long should I rent the boat for? Prices for boat rental range from a minimum of one day to a week, you can of course negotiate a price for longer periods. If you are planning on sailing with a group, then it is a good idea to agree a basic itinerary with everyone in advance of your trip.

III. Decide what type of boat would like to charter. Boats come in various types, ask with the experts at the boat charter company to find out which type of boat is right for you.

IV. Contact a company with expertise in boat rental. A good boat rental company should have a large selection of boats available for charter and should also offer services such as reservation of moorings, itinerary recommendations etc.
