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.
