Twelve straight answers about private yacht charters in Saint-Barthélemy: prices, inclusions, seasons, itineraries and policies.
Rates depend on the yacht (Lagoon 55, Pardo 43 or Contender 39), the formula (half day, full day, sunset cruise, St Martin trip) and the season. Every charter is all-inclusive — professional captain, crew and fuel are always covered. Exact pricing for your date is shown in real time in our online booking; payments in euros or US dollars.
Every charter includes a professional captain and crew, fuel, soft drinks, snorkeling gear and water-sports equipment. Full-day charters also include a gourmet lunch served on board. Premium extras (champagne, chef, photographer) can be added when booking.
No. All our charters are fully crewed: a professional captain and crew handle the navigation while you enjoy the day. You just choose the itinerary with them.
Up to 25 guests aboard the Lagoon 55 catamaran, and up to 12 guests aboard the Pardo 43 motor yacht or the Contender 39. For larger groups, the Lagoon 55 and Pardo 43 can cruise together (Combicata formula).
All charters depart from Gustavia harbor, in the center of St Barts. Pick-up at your villa’s closest beach or at a hotel pontoon can be arranged on request.
Yes. The St Martin day trip (9:00 AM–4:30 PM) visits Fourchue Island, Tintamarre and Pinel Island, and is available on all three yachts. Fast one-way private transfers between St Barts and St Martin can also be arranged aboard the Contender 39.
The island enjoys warm water and 80°F+ weather year-round. High season runs from November to April with the calmest seas; the festive weeks (December 20 – January 5) are the most in demand and should be booked well in advance.
Our booking system shows live availability and confirms instantly. In high season (November–April) we recommend booking 2–4 weeks ahead; for the festive season, 2–3 months ahead.
Standard policy: a fixed €95 administration fee applies to every cancellation or modification, plus 5% of the total amount more than 7 days before the charter, 50% between 7 days and 48 hours, and 100% less than 48 hours before or in case of no-show. Festive season (December 20 – January 5) remains specific: 30% more than 30 days out, 70% between 8 and 30 days, and 100% within 7 days. Prepared meals remain payable and non-refundable if we cancel due to weather. For cruise passengers, a refund is granted only if Gustavia harbor is officially closed; a cancelled call while the harbor remains open is treated as a no-show.
You can pay online by credit card (secure Stripe checkout) or by bank transfer. Rates are in euros and US dollar payments are accepted. A deposit confirms the booking; the balance is due before the charter.
Absolutely. Families charter with us every week — tell us the children’s ages when booking so the crew prepares the right safety equipment. The Pinel Island and Colombier stops are favorites with kids.
Safety first: if conditions are unsuitable, the captain will propose an adapted itinerary on the leeward coast, another time slot or a full reschedule at no cost. Charters cancelled by us for weather are refunded, excluding meals or picnics already prepared, which remain payable and are handed to the customer.
