About Sint Maarten

Sint Maarten is a compact Dutch-Caribbean cruise stop famous for Philipsburg's duty-free Front Street, Great Bay's gentle water, and the surreal low-flying jets over Maho Beach. It is best experienced as a one-day port call with a private driver or small group, because the island is small enough to see without a herd and big enough to reward independent pacing.

Typical routes

  • Eastern Caribbean round-trip from Miami, Port Canaveral, or Fort Lauderdale: 6–8 nights, typically with St. Thomas/St. John, San Juan, and sometimes Perfect Day at CocoCay.
  • Southern Caribbean one-way from San Juan or Bridgetown: 7–10 nights, combining Leeward and Windward Islands with calls at St. Kitts, Guadeloupe, Barbados, and sometimes St. Lucia.

Ports overview

Philipsburg's A.C. Wathey Cruise & Cargo Facility sits at the edge of Great Bay, a short walk or water-taxi ride from Front Street. On multi-ship days the town fills quickly; a private taxi or small-group excursion is the best way to avoid being herded. The port is the main gateway for the Dutch side and a common call on both Eastern and Southern Caribbean itineraries.

Cruise season

Ocean cruise season runs year-round with a peak December–April; June–November is hurricane season.
