Boat Charter Worth It?

[KJune]

Hi all!
I am planning a celebration trip to St.Barths this April with a small group - we are all around late 20s and this will be our first visit for context. Since we’re only around for a short period of time, I’m wondering whether we should charter a boat for either 1/2 day or sunset. Currently deciding between this or instead going to a beach club for the day. Does anyone have any tips/opinions on boat charters from their experience? Any advice is appreciated!

You can do both! Lunch /afternoon at a beach restaurant . . . and a sunset cruise. For the latter, I recommend St. Barth Sailor — https://www.stbarthsailor.com/. Miguel is a great Captain & has fantastic people working with him.

Consider a half-day sail to Colombier. It’s a short trip, and arriving by water is nicer than hiking in. There’s not a lot to do there other than hang out or snorkel. You’ll have a better chance of seeing sea turtles there, as it’s part of the Marine Reserve.

I have not sailed with Miguel, but he has an excellent reputation. Other options include Jicky Marine, which also offers Sunset Champagne Sails. Jicky used to offer shared sunset sails too, but I don’t know if they still do.

If you opt for a beach club on a Saturday or Sunday in April....you better make a reservation quickly.
