How do guests rate Vital Charters?
We could not have had a better experience with Vital Charters. They helped us book a yacht charter vacation in the BVI. Super responsive and professional. Jason helped us pick a great yacht for our family trip. Our crew was amazing too!

Our trip to the British Virgin Islands was one of the best trips we’ve ever done with family. Vitals Charters did a great job of making it easy for our first time. Thanks so much!
Marco · September 2026 · Google
Had an awesome time chartering a yacht with a bunch of buddies to celebrate our 40th birthdays. A lot of fun and the crew was exceptional. We decided to try the Caribbean this time and will most likely do the British Virgin Islands (BVI) our next time around. Probably won’t wait till 50 though! We’d like to get back out with the crew as soon as possible. Unreal experience!

Who actually manages the crewed yachts?
23 companies manage the 40 crewed yachts that name St. Martin, St. Barts or Anguilla. The five largest are below.
| Managing company | Crewed yachts | Share of the 40 yachts |
|---|---|---|

| Above Deck | 4 | 10.0% |
| Pyper Yachts | 4 | 10.0% |

Every broker on this page draws on these same managing companies, so the yachts you are shown will overlap from one broker to the next. What differs is the advice: which yacht and crew suit your group, and how the booking is handled. Choose a broker on that. Why do different yacht charter brokers all offer the same boats?
What does a crewed week in St. Martin and St. Barts cost?
A crewed week on a yacht that names St. Martin, St. Barts or Anguilla has a median rate of $35,750 all-inclusive and $55,000 plus expenses.
Swipe sideways to see every column
| Charter model | Median week | Typical range | Yachts priced |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-inclusive | $35,750 | $32,000 to $52,725 | 18 |
| Plus expenses | $55,000 | $36,720 to $85,000 | 21 |

For context, 219 crewed yachts are available to cruise the wider Leeward Islands: the median all-inclusive week is $32,000 (119 yachts) and the median plus-expenses week is $65,000 (98 yachts). Many are Tortola-based boats that move south for the season or run one-way charters.

How do you choose a St. Martin or St. Barts charter company?
Choose the French side or the Dutch side
The north of the island is French Saint-Martin, with the bareboat bases at Marigot and Anse Marcel. The south is Dutch Sint Maarten, with Simpson Bay. US dollars are accepted on both sides.
Decide where St. Barts fits
Day boats cross between St. Martin and St. Barts. 7-day St. Barts itinerary
Ask where a crewed yacht is based
Only 40 crewed yachts name St. Martin, St. Barts or Anguilla. In all, 219 are available to cruise the wider Leeward Islands, many of them Tortola-based boats that reposition for the season. Ask us where yours starts.
Expect a short bareboat list
Three companies have a bareboat base here today, all on the French side. Book early for peak weeks.
Ask about clearance
Sailing between St. Martin, St. Barts and Anguilla means clearing in and out. Ask us which fees apply to your yacht and route.
Read what the weekly rate covers
On an all-inclusive yacht the rate takes in food, drinks and fuel. On a plus-expenses yacht those are paid from an advance provisioning allowance on top. Crew gratuity is extra on both.
Plan the arrival
Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) is on the Dutch side, and all three bareboat bases are on the French side, so plan the transfer. Getting to St. Martin
Fleet figures: Vital Charters' crewed-yacht database, as of October 6, 2026
Book direct or through a broker?
For a bareboat, booking direct with one of the three bases is simple. For a crewed yacht, a broker quotes the yacht's own weekly rate, the same figure you would get by going direct, because the yacht pays the broker and the guest does not.
What changes is the choice. A broker can look beyond the 40 yachts that name these islands to the 219 available to cruise the wider Leeward Islands, and tell you which will start a charter from St. Martin or St. Barts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many yacht charter companies serve St. Martin and St. Barts?
This page lists 36 companies that sell St. Martin or St. Barts yacht charters, each confirmed on its own website on October 7, 2026: 3 bareboat bases, 3 crewed operators, 13 brokers (Vital Charters among them), 6 booking platforms and 11 day-charter operators. Six tourist bodies and trade associations are listed separately.
Is it cheaper to book a St. Martin yacht charter direct?
For a crewed yacht, no. The yacht sets its weekly rate and pays the broker out of it, so a broker's help is free to the guest. Do you pay the yacht charter company directly or through the broker?
What does a crewed yacht charter in St. Martin and St. Barts cost per week?
For the 40 crewed yachts that name St. Martin, St. Barts or Anguilla, the median all-inclusive week is $35,750, with a typical range of $32,000 to $52,725 across 18 yachts. The median plus-expenses week is $55,000, with a typical range of $36,720 to $85,000 across 21 yachts. Figures are from Vital Charters' crewed-yacht database as of October 6, 2026. Neither figure includes crew gratuity, and a plus-expenses rate also leaves out food, drinks and fuel.
Which companies have bareboat bases on St. Martin?
Three, all on the French side. The Moorings and Sunsail share Marina Fort Louis in Marigot, and Dream Yacht Charter sails from Anse Marcel Marina.
Should a St. Martin charter start on the French side or the Dutch side?
Bareboat charters start on the French side, at Marigot or Anse Marcel. Of the crewed operators on this page, Funseaker Yachting sails from Marigot on the French side and Pyratz Boat Charters from Simpson Bay on the Dutch side. US dollars are accepted on both sides.
Is there a charter broker with an office in St. Barts?
Yes, one on this list: IYC, in Gustavia. No other broker in the table lists an office on St. Barts.
How far is St. Barts from St. Martin by boat?
Roughly 17 to 20 nautical miles, depending on where you start. Day-charter operators on both islands run the crossing as a day trip or a private transfer.
How we built this list
- Company check
- Each company's own website was opened on October 7, 2026. To be listed, the site had to load and name St. Martin, Sint Maarten or St. Barts as a base or a destination. Base, charter types and fleet details are printed as that site shows them; a fleet size appears only where the company's own site shows one. The Best for column is our own summary.
- Other sources
- The Saint-Martin Tourist Office's listings were used to find operators and for the distance to St. Barts, and the Sint Maarten Tourist Bureau's travel tips for currency. The other bodies in the associations table are listed for reference.
- Fleet and price data
- Source: Vital Charters' live crewed-yacht database, pulled October 6, 2026. Active yachts only.
- A yacht counts when it lists the cruising area for a season ending after October 6, 2026. This page counts only yachts that name the islands themselves: St. Martin, St. Barts or Anguilla.
- Each yacht is counted once, at its lowest weekly base rate for that area, in US dollars. "Typical range" is the middle half of yachts (25th to 75th percentile).
- All-inclusive rates cover food, drinks and fuel. Plus-expenses rates add an advance provisioning allowance (APA) for those on top. Neither includes crew gratuity.
- Not listed
- Left out, with the reason: Horizon Yacht Charters and Navigare Yachting (no St. Martin base), VPM Bestsail (its site would not open), Star Voyage (a Martinique operator), Kiriacoulis (its web address now redirects to another company's site), Imagine Sailing (its home page does not mention St. Martin or St. Barts), Sibarth (villa rentals) and Le Radeau Bleu (an anchored platform, not a boat charter). Four operators have a tourist-office listing but no website to check: Captain Jo, Dexter Boat Charter, Caraïbes Watersports and Creole Rock Watersports.
- Updates
- This page is re-checked every quarter. Each company link is opened again and the fleet and price figures are pulled again. The dates on this page change only when that check has run.
- Corrections
- Run a company that belongs here, or see a detail that is out of date? Email info@vitalcharters.com and it will be checked.
