How much does it cost to charter a yacht in St. Martin?
Chartering a yacht in St. Martin costs roughly $25,000 to $80,000 for a week on a crewed catamaran, with motor yachts and superyachts climbing well beyond that. The island is a major charter hub (Simpson Bay Lagoon holds one of the Caribbean’s largest concentrations of yachts), so selection is deep and boats reposition here between seasons. Base rate covers the yacht and crew. On top sits the APA, about 30%, for fuel, food, and dockage, plus 10 to 20% crew gratuity. A bareboat runs less, from around $6,000 a week for a small catamaran. Season sets the price; December to April peaks. See a full yacht charter budget breakdown.
