BOOKING:

  • Private Charters can start and end any dates. Please see Schedule.
  • When you are ready to reserve, contact us. We will place your dates "on hold" for you briefly. You then arrange your travel, then confirm the charter with a deposit.
  • Payments:
    • 6 months or less in advance: 50% to reserve
    • more than 6 months in advance: 25% deposit, with 25% more due 6 months before departure
    • Final 50% due 60 days before departure
OFFSHORE PASSAGE:

For an ideal offshore passage in open ocean at a higher cost we suggest a one-way charter starting in St. Martin and ending in the BVI (see map). This includes a stop at St. Barts/St. Barths and great downwind sailing. This adds an extra charge of 2 days for delivery. You avoid the notoriously difficult passage from the BVI to St. Martin, straight into the wind and waves.
