Private Powerboat Charters – Center console fleet:
The most cost-efficient of all Boat Charters is to rent a private powerboat for the day, these amazing center console powerboats are perfect to visit St Martin or going over to Anguilla. For St. Barths, we generally recommend a yacht charter or visiting by Ferry as it’s a 1.5 to 2 hours not comfortable ride over there.
Choose between the selection of center console powerboats from 27ft up to 55ft starting at $750 for a half-day charter. We guarantee the best possible rates here on We Are SXM with no additional charges or hidden fees.
Choose your preferred powerboat, ask us questions if you have any, and plan a fun day on the water with us!
Private Catamaran Charters fleet:
A Catamaran charter is a perfect option for comfort and yet at a lower budget than a yacht charter. Another advantage a catamaran has is the number of passengers it can take, making it the perfect option for larger groups. See here the catamaran charters available in Sint Maarten | Saint Martin, of which some are licensed to visit Anguilla and St. Barths. We carry catamaran charters up to 72 feet and the larger catamarans are licensed to take up to 28 passengers as this is the maximum allowed in the French waters of Saint Martin. Some boats can carry more passengers but then they can only go into the Dutch side waters.
See here our selection of power cats, sailing cats, full-service cats, and so forth. We guarantee you the best possible rates here on We Are SXM with no additional charges or hidden fees.

Frequently asked questions about Powerboat and Yacht charters, all about boats.
What is the Booking procedure?
You either book via the online booking calendar (if available) and pay everything in advance, or you request the dates; if available, fill in a credit card authorization form, and 20% will be charged on the spot, and the remaining 80% a week in advance. If booked within a week before the charter day, 100% will be charged.
What is a Damage waiver?
All boats are insured, and most charters come with captains, so your risk for damage to the ship is minimal. A damage waiver is for you to defend and hold harmless and indemnify the releases from any and all liability for any property or personal injury.
With a bareboat rental, you sign a damage waiver, in which you agree that the deductible for the boat is for your bill as companies always have a part not covered by their insurance.
Is gratuity included?
Generally speaking, NO. Unless specified otherwise the gratuity is not included. A standard tip for the crew is 10% of the charter fee.
What tip or gratuity is usual for a boat charter?
As it’s about a far larger amount a tip of 10% is sufficient. And 15 up to 20% if the service was exceptional.
What is the power boat or yacht charter rate for half a day?
Prices vary per boat between $900 and $6000 for half a day; some boats only do full-day charters as the time to prepare is very similar.
Are we currently doing fishing charters?
Yes, there are several fishing charter options available. Some fish can only be caught at certain times of the year. Usually, after booking, you can link with the captain directly, who will inform you about the best options.
What is the cancellation policy when booking a Boat Charter?
- 1 Week before = FULL REFUND
- 72h before = 50% REFUND
- 48h before = 30% REFUND
- 24h before = NO REFUND
Do Power Boats or yachts have insurance?
Yes, most are insured for a specific rate. Note there’s always a deductible.
What is the difference between a yacht and a ship?
Yachts are large, fancy boats used for recreation. They might do crossings but could as well stay docked in one area alone. Ships are usually larger, used commercially or by the navy, and meant to operate worldwide and cross the ocean.
What is the difference between a Powerboat & yacht?
The maritime definition of a “yacht” is a private vessel built for recreational use of at least 33 feet long. We tend to consider anything in the 35-40-foot range (or larger) constructed to allow the ability to cruise farther over deeper, rougher waters a yacht. Anything below 35 feet or without a regular-sized dining room, cabin, and restroom is considered a powerboat.
