A catamaran day sail in St Maarten runs along the west coast to Tintamarre or Creole Rock for a snorkel, with lunch and an open bar on board, and the public sails on this page are among the most reviewed boats in the Caribbean. We picked 16 catamaran sails by hand, read every listing and kept only operators rated 4.5★ or higher. The cheapest is a public day sail from €114 per person; the most expensive are private full day charters with a crew and a route of your choosing.
Public sails cap the guest count and sell by the seat, while private charters quote per boat for six to twelve and include the same food and drinks. The sail is five to six hours and the open bar starts after the snorkel stop on most boats. Simpson Bay and Philipsburg departures suit different hotels, and cruise passengers should pick the listings that name the pier. Rough seas move the snorkel stop into the lagoon rather than cancel. The best reviewed St Maarten catamaran sails come first below.
