Two worlds come together in St Martin: it’s a unique cosmopolitan mix of Caribbean casualness and a fabulously French lifestyle. It is also one half of the world’s smallest territory – a 33 square mile island shared by the French and Dutch since 1648, making it the world’s smallest landmass under the rule of two sovereign states.
The French sector covers about 60 per cent of the island and the Dutch territory, St Maarten, the remainder. St Martin would be high on your Luxury Charter Group arranged itinerary if you are seeking secluded relaxation by day, and long, lazy French-influenced dinners by night. While the capital of St Maarten, Philipsburg, offers the rambunctious lifestyle of casinos and ‘fast-ish’ living, St Martin’s colourful capital, Marigot, presents the alternative: an easy-going and elegant lifestyle with sidewalk cafes, beguiling bars, modish dining and excellent duty-free shopping. Once back at sea, you will discover a bounty of beautiful anchorages, beaches and bays, all demanding your presence. This is certainly a memorable destination on any Caribbean cruise.
