St Martin / St Maarten

Sailing into St Martin / St Maarten offers breathtaking coastal vistas. Watch for Simpson Bay Lagoon and Tintamarre Island, both havens for marine life. The coastline boasts dramatic headlands, pristine beaches, and anchorages ideal for exploration.

St Martin is an island split between two nations—France and the Netherlands. The northern side, Saint-Martin, is a French overseas territory, while the southern part, Sint Maarten, is an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Despite the border, movement between the two sides is unrestricted, giving the island a seamless blend of European and Caribbean influences.
