One-Way Yacht Charters & Caribbean Island Hopping

Not every perfect day on the water is a circle. A one-way charter lets you begin in one island and end in another — turning a transfer into a highlight. Between Saint Martin, St. Barts and Anguilla, point-to-point chartering is one of the smartest ways to travel.

One-way arrangements may be possible depending on the yacht, owner, captain, schedule, embarkation and disembarkation arrangements, fuel expenses and required clearances. We verify every element — including customs, immigration and commercial charter requirements — with the operator before confirming your route in writing.

We never guarantee that every yacht can undertake every route, and we do not publish flat one-way rates — each route is quoted individually.

Ways to Island-Hop

Saint Martin → St. Barts

Depart Simpson Bay or Marigot in the morning, cruise the open-water leg southeast, and end in Gustavia — with an optional snorkel stop en route.

St. Barts → Saint Martin

Begin with a Gustavia morning and finish among the marinas of Saint Martin — a favorite for guests changing islands mid-holiday.

Saint Martin → Anguilla

A short northern run to Sandy Island or Prickly Pear, ending at an Anguilla drop-off — or returning the same day.

Anguilla → Saint Martin

Start with an Anguilla cay morning and cruise south into the lagoon for a Saint Martin evening.

Multi-island day

Combine two or three destinations — for example Saint Martin, a St. Barts lunch and an Anguilla swim — in a single tailored itinerary.

One-Way Charters — FAQ

What is a one-way yacht charter?

A one-way (point-to-point) charter starts in one location and ends in another — for example departing Saint Martin and finishing in St. Barts, or starting in Anguilla and ending in Sint Maarten — instead of returning to the original departure point.

Which one-way routes are possible?

The most requested are Saint Martin ↔ St. Barts and Saint Martin ↔ Anguilla, in either direction, plus multi-island itineraries combining two or more destinations. Feasibility depends on the yacht, owner, captain, schedule and clearances — every route is confirmed individually.

How do I request an island-to-island charter?

Tell us your preferred starting point, your desired ending point, date, guest count and any stops you want along the way. We check which yachts can undertake the route and reply with a written quotation covering logistics, timing and costs.

Why do some customers prefer ending in a different destination?

Because it fits their travel: a charter can double as a transfer. Guests fly into one island, cruise to another and stay on — or end a charter at a beach club or harbor where their holiday continues. One-way planning turns travel time into charter time.

What information is needed for a one-way quote?

Start point, end point, date, guests, luggage considerations, preferred yacht, desired stops en route, and any timing constraints such as flights or hotel check-ins. With those details we can price the route accurately.

Why do route-specific costs differ?

Distance, fuel consumption at the yacht's cruising speed, repositioning the yacht and crew after disembarkation, possible overnight arrangements, and port or clearance fees all affect the price. That is why one-way routes are quoted rather than listed at flat rates.

How are departure and arrival locations confirmed?

In writing, before booking. We confirm the exact embarkation marina or tender point, the disembarkation location, expected timings, and what happens if weather forces a change. Nothing is left assumed.

Do customs and immigration rules affect one-way charters?

Yes. Moving between Saint Martin, St. Barts and Anguilla crosses borders — French, Dutch and British territories. Commercial charter requirements, customs and immigration formalities must be verified with current official sources and the actual yacht operator, and we do this before confirming your route.

Can every yacht do every route?

No — and we say so openly. Open-water legs to St. Barts suit larger or faster yachts; some vessels are licensed or insured for specific areas only. We match the route to a yacht that can genuinely and safely undertake it.

Can a one-way charter include sightseeing en route?

Usually, yes — that is the point. A Saint Martin-to-St. Barts charter might add a Tintamarre swim; an Anguilla run might pause at Sandy Island. Stops depend on timing, conditions and the agreed schedule, and are built into the quotation.
