St Barthelemy Tours: Common Questions

How Much Does A St Barts Boat Tour Cost?

The shared sailing tour starts at $189 per person and visits Gustavia, Colombier Beach, and Île Fourchue with Boomerang Boat Charters. Private day charters range from $1,948 for a boat holding up to ten guests to $2,100 for up to eight, with a private sailboat charter from the same operator at $2,000, while luxury options such as the Nikki Beach trip and the two-day catamaran begin at $2,120 and $4,816 respectively.

Can I Cancel If My Plans Change?

Yes, all six tours here can be cancelled without charge. Five allow it up to 24 hours before departure, while the overnight catamaran asks for six days notice.

Group Tour Or Private Charter, Which Suits Me?

It depends on budget and privacy. The group sail-and-snorkel day is a shared boat priced per person from $189, departs Simpson Bay on the Dutch side of St Martin, holds up to 40 travellers and runs 12 May to 31 August 2027.

Do Any Tours Depart From St Martin?

Several do, and that matters if you are staying on the Dutch or French side of St Martin rather than on St Barts itself. Paper Boat Charter runs a private sailboat over for a 7.5-hour day, and its 8-hour private charter from St Martin to St Barth is one of the most reviewed trips here.

How Long Do The Tours Run?

Most are full days. The group tour runs about 7 hours, and the private day charters run 7.5 to 8 hours depending on the operator, which covers the crossing, stops for swimming and snorkelling, and time ashore in Gustavia.

What Extra Fees Are Not In The Listed Price?

A few extras sit outside the listed price. The group sail-and-snorkel tour adds a US$20 per person government fee.
