What are the best superyachts based in Saint Martin during the winter season?
Spectacular French villages, vibrant Dutch settlements, vast coral reefs, numerous sandy beaches, and duty-free shopping throughout the island. This is how we can summarize the reasons for the great success of Saint Martin (or Sint Maarten), the Caribbean island with a soul divided halfway between France and the Netherlands.
The beautiful St. Martin is an island that is part of the Leeward Islands of the Caribbean. Its approximately 90 square kilometers of territory are owned about 60% by France, in the northern part, and 40% by the Netherlands, in the south. This feature makes St Martin the smallest island shared by two nations in the world.
However, this is only one of the peculiarities that have made it a paradise for tourists and a half coveted by boaters from all over the world.

Both sides in fact share beautiful beaches, a mostly hilly area of volcanic nature rich in fertile agricultural land, and lush rainforests that cover entire mountains. No less are beaches and bays, with over 37 pristine beaches including the most famous: Maho Beach, Baie Longue, Mullet Bay Beach, Happy Bay, and Pinel Island Beach.
Despite their close proximity, both cultures, French and Dutch, have been able to maintain the individuality of their native land, which makes the two different realities and therefore both full of attractiveness.
The rhythm and personality of each part differ enormously. While the Dutch side of St. Maarten has a larger population and is dotted with art galleries, jewelers, casinos, and a more active nightlife, the French side is more picturesque, offering a more classic lifestyle and cuisine which is very close to the French continental one. The village of Grand Case, for example, is known for its many excellent restaurants.
