St. Maarten / St. Martin Sailing Blog

St. Maarten has one of the most active sailing communities of the Caribbean. Sailing charters or tours can be booked here year round, but many sail in with their own ship. Around the Simpson Bay Lagoon, one finds a variety of marinas, services and restaurants with dinghy harbors for hungry and thirsty sailors. Most famous are St. Maarten sailing events like the annual Heineken Regatta and the Caribbean Multihull Challenge. Let us keep you in the loop with this blog!
