A 60 to 70m motor yacht based at St Martin in the 2026 December through April Caribbean winter window runs $850,000 to $1,280,000 per week plus 30 to 34 percent APA, takes 12 to 14 guests across 7 to 9 cabins, and carries 18 to 26 crew. The bracket's St Martin reality is that the 37-square-mile dual-territory Dutch and French island runs the structural eastern Caribbean guest-transfer hub on the Princess Juliana SXM Cat A helipad framework, with the Simpson Bay outer-roads anchor on the Dutch southern face at 18 degrees 02 minutes north as the bracket-fit overnight structural at-anchor base, and the IGY Yacht Club at Isle de Sol on the western Simpson Bay Lagoon as the structural 60m-plus alongside option on the lifting-bridge transit window. The Port de Plaisance Marigot on the French western face runs the smaller-LOA inner-basin and the daylight call structure, with the Marigot Baie at-anchor on the French western face running the secondary at-anchor structure. The week runs the St Martin overnight base on the Dutch-side Simpson Bay and runs the Anguilla, St Barths, and Saba day calls inside the wider eastern Caribbean weekly product.
Why Simpson Bay outer-roads and IGY Isle de Sol narrow at the bracket
The Simpson Bay outer-roads anchor on the Dutch southern face runs the bracket-fit overnight structural at-anchor base on the protected basin in the lee of the Pelican Key and the Mullet Bay headland, with the bracket comfortably accommodated on swing at 4 to 6 slots at the structural overnight base. The IGY Yacht Club at Isle de Sol on the western Simpson Bay Lagoon runs the 60m-plus alongside outer-T on the IGY Marinas framework with the lifting Causeway Bridge and the Simpson Bay Bridge transit on the daily 9am and 4pm opening window structure, capping the bracket's inside-lagoon programme on the bridge-window coordination. The IGY Simpson Bay Marina on the southern Simpson Bay Lagoon caps at the 50 to 55m envelope on the inner-basin and slot structure. The Port de Plaisance Marigot on the French western face caps at the 45 to 55m envelope on the inner-basin structure, with the Marigot Baie outer at-anchor running the secondary at-anchor structure on the daylight call. The St Maarten Yacht Club at the Simpson Bay Lagoon western face runs the smaller-LOA fit. The bracket runs the Simpson Bay outer-roads anchor as the structural overnight base on the daily Dutch-side embarkation structure.
St Martin as the eastern Caribbean structural transfer hub
The Princess Juliana SXM airport on the Simpson Bay southern face runs the structural eastern Caribbean guest-transfer hub on the Cat A helipad shuttle framework, with the cross-Atlantic long-haul direct service and the regional inter-island connection to Anguilla, St Barths, and Antigua. The bracket runs the St Martin SXM as the structural arrival and departure airport on the wider eastern Caribbean weekly product, with the cross-island 8 to 12 minute helicopter shuttle to the Gustavia St Barths outer-mooring on the SXM-to-SBH framework, the 8-minute shuttle to the Anguilla heliport, and the regional ferry connection to Anguilla through the Blowing Point terminal. The bracket runs the St Martin-Anguilla-St Barths weekly product on the eastern Caribbean rotation with the structural multi-island geography as the daily payoff, and runs the wider St Martin-Anguilla-St Barths-Antigua 10-night product on the southbound transit on the Antigua English and Falmouth Harbours bookend.
Weekly rate map for the 2026 calendar
Rates below are firm winter pricing (December 2025 through April 2026) before APA at 30 to 34 percent (the IGY Yacht Club at Isle de Sol outer-T coordination fee on the IGY Marinas framework, the Simpson Bay outer-roads anchor coordination on the Dutch-side Customs framework, the Sint Maarten Cruising Permit on the Dutch commercial framework, the French Marigot droit de port on the French-side commercial framework, the Princess Juliana SXM Cat A helipad shuttle, and the structural shore-tender daily anchor consumption) and gratuity at 12 to 18 percent on the Caribbean winter framework.
| LOA bracket | Motor yacht (low to high) | Sailing yacht (low to high) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 to 63m | $850K to $960K per week | $640K to $770K per week |
| 63 to 67m | $960K to $1,120K per week | $730K to $870K per week |
| 67 to 70m | $1,120K to $1,280K per week | $850K to $980K per week |
The NYE-Three-Kings-Day cluster (December 26 through January 6) holds a 30 to 50 percent premium on the wider St Martin winter base pulled east through the St Barths Gustavia outer-mooring slot allocation, with the February US-Presidents-Week and the March US-school-spring-break holding a 15 to 25 percent premium. The December early-month and the April late-month shoulder window runs 15 to 20 percent below the central winter base. For wider context see 60-70m St Barths, 60-70m Anguilla, 60-70m Caribbean, and the lower-LOA comparison at 50-60m St Martin.
What is in the bracket in this bracket
Cabins. Seven to nine. Bridge-deck owner suite plus on-deck VIP plus five to seven main and lower-deck doubles on the 12 to 14 guest envelope.
Crew. Eighteen to twenty-six. The St Martin captain bench rewards prior Simpson Bay outer-roads anchor coordination on the Dutch-side Customs framework, prior IGY Yacht Club at Isle de Sol outer-T allocation routine on the IGY Marinas framework and the Causeway and Simpson Bay Bridge transit window coordination, prior Port de Plaisance Marigot French-side daylight call coordination, prior Princess Juliana SXM Cat A helipad shuttle coordination on the SXM-to-SBH cross-island framework, prior Anguilla and St Barths port-of-entry clearance, and prior MYBA Caribbean addendum coordination on the Dutch and French commercial frameworks. The chief stew bench with prior Snoopy's Smokehouse at Simpson Bay, La Brasserie de Marigot, Le Pressoir at Grand Case, Sky Beach at Maho, and Le Tastevin at Grand Case shore-coordination is the client-facing load.
Tenders. Primary 14 to 16m fast tender plus a 12m beach tender plus a chase boat plus a dive tender plus an 11 to 12m limousine tender. The Simpson Bay outer-roads daily at-anchor shore-tender rotation runs the tender bench on the Dutch-side daily structure. The IGY Yacht Club at Isle de Sol inside-lagoon daily call runs the limousine tender on the lifting-bridge transit window coordination.
At-anchor stabilizers and beach club. Load-bearing on the Simpson Bay outer-roads anchor and the Marigot Baie French-side at-anchor. The Christmas Winds northeasterly trade-wind pattern at force 4 to 6 in the December through March central winter window runs the at-anchor zero-speed product as the structural daily-comfort load-bearing question on the Simpson Bay roads chop.
Helipad. Cat A load-bearing on the Princess Juliana SXM 6 to 10 minute shuttle to the Simpson Bay outer-roads anchor touch-and-go and the cross-island 8 to 12 minute shuttle to the St Barths SBH airstrip on the SXM-to-SBH framework, with the Grand Case L'Esperance regional airport on the secondary French-side guest-transfer.
Trip shape that fits the bracket
The 7-night St Martin-Anguilla-St Barths routing runs Princess Juliana SXM embarkation through the Cat A helipad shuttle to the Simpson Bay outer-roads anchor or the IGY Yacht Club at Isle de Sol outer-T alongside, one night at the Simpson Bay or IGY base with the Snoopy's Smokehouse, Sky Beach Maho, and Karakter Beach shore programme, transit to Anguilla on the daylight crossing, one night at the Road Bay Sandy Ground outer-roads with the Veya shore-tender, one daylight at Prickly Pear East Cay, transit south to St Barths Gustavia outer-mooring, two nights at the Gustavia and Colombier Bay with the Bonito shore programme, one daylight at the Anse du Gouverneur with the Maya's shore-tender, and a final night on the Simpson Bay or IGY disembark with the SXM Cat A helipad shuttle. The 10-night extension routes the southbound transit to Antigua English and Falmouth Harbours after the St Barths leg.
What the bracket does not do well in St Martin
The IGY Yacht Club at Isle de Sol bridge-window walk-up. The inside-lagoon transit to the IGY Yacht Club at Isle de Sol runs the daily 9am and 4pm Causeway Bridge and Simpson Bay Bridge opening window structure, and the walk-up without prior bridge-window coordination reads as the structural blocker on the lagoon entry and the inside-lagoon daily structure. We would pass on the walk-up bridge transit and route the booking with the prior bridge-window coordination confirmed in writing through the captain's office at contract, or default to the Simpson Bay outer-roads anchor on the Dutch-side overnight structure.
The Port de Plaisance Marigot French-side alongside plan. The Port de Plaisance Marigot on the French western face caps at the 45 to 55m envelope on the inner-basin structure, and the walk-up to overnight the 60 to 70m bracket on the French-side stern-to reads as the structural blocker. We would pass on the French-side alongside plan and route the booking with the Simpson Bay outer-roads anchor on the Dutch-side overnight structure and the Marigot Baie outer at-anchor on the secondary French-side daylight call.
The Simpson Bay-only weekly plan. St Martin as the sole destination exhausts the bracket's overnight geography in 48 to 72 hours on the Simpson Bay outer-roads and the cross-island French-side daylight programme. We would pass on the Simpson Bay-only week and route the booking with the wider St Martin-Anguilla-St Barths eastern Caribbean weekly product, with the multi-island geography as the structural daily payoff.
The June through November St Martin plan. The hurricane season closure runs from June 1 through November 30 on the wider Caribbean Tropical Cyclone Season framework, with the post-September-2017 Hurricane Irma rebuild on the shore infrastructure continuing through 2026 and the structural commercial calendar shut down on the seasonal framework. We would pass on the June through November plan and route the bracket on the Mediterranean summer rotation.
