You step aboard a low-slung catamaran as the trade winds push the hull away from the harbor; the sun warms the deck and the island falls into a ribbon of reef and white sand. The crew on Be Happy moves with practiced ease, lowering the anchor in bays where the water goes clear as glass and the coral gardens dare you to dive in.

You step aboard a low-slung catamaran as the trade winds push the hull away from the harbor; the sun warms the deck and the island falls into a ribbon of reef and white sand. The crew on Be Happy moves with practiced ease, lowering the anchor in bays where the water goes clear as glass and the coral gardens dare you to dive in.
Sint Maarten/St. Martin is a Caribbean split in two: Dutch Philipsburg’s commercial hum meets French Marigot’s calmer coves, and that colonial history shows up in food, language and coastal land use. Geologically the island is volcanic, rimmed by fringing reefs and pockets of sand formed by coral and shell wash. Locally, Terres Basses and Baie Longue are known for secluded estates and long beaches; Creole Rock and nearby reefs are established snorkeling sites.
On a full-day private charter expect roughly eight hours aboard with stops for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding and lounging on a floating mat. The crew usually provides snacks, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, plus snorkel and SUP equipment. Plan for sun, salt and movement: reef-safe sunscreen, a secure bag for phones, and a light wind layer for the open-water stretches. Bring a legal ID if you want to step ashore on either side of the border.
This cruise is as much about pace as place—long quiet swims, short scenic sails, and the small discoveries of marine life beneath the surface. Timing trips around morning light and calmer seas improves visibility for snorkeling and keeps the day easygoing for groups of all ages.
