Why St. Martin is a Top Sailing Destination for Spring Break and Summer 2024

Multiple vacations, fewer crowds in one trip, perfect for spring break and summer sailings, plus St. Barts on a budget are top reasons why St. Martin is forecast by sea-vacation company, Dream Yacht Worldwide (DYW), as being popular among travelers this year.

St. Martin: A Leading Caribbean Sailing Destination

After the British Virgin Islands, St. Martin is Dream Yacht’s most popular sailing destination in the Caribbean, according to a February 5, 2024 company press release. Last year, the company saw a 40% increase in inquiries for St. Martin sails. This year, DYW has sent even more boats, 16 total, to St. Martin.

Chartering: Leeward Island-Hopping from St. Maarten

Experience Three Islands in One Trip

This northernmost France-owned Leeward Island is one of the few destinations where travelers can have three different island experiences in one trip. That is, to St. Martin, St. Barts, and Anguilla. While travelers can reach these islands when visiting St. Martin, a yacht charter adds more flexibility plus the ability to access the most pristine islands and beaches which can only be reached by small boats.

Why Choose a Yacht Charter in St. Martin?

Without a boat, travelers are limited to crowded ferries and restrictive schedules while exploring these islands. A yacht charter allows for greater flexibility and the opportunity to discover secluded beaches and serene islands away from the tourist crowds.
