Explore the Caribbean by sea — from sunset cruises to full-day island adventures.
Saint-Barthelemy's turquoise Caribbean waters, dramatic coastline, and secluded coves are best explored by boat — and a day on the water is one of the most memorable experiences you'll have during your stay. Villa ONLY VIEW's concierge works with a trusted network of local captains and charter companies operating out of Gustavia harbor to arrange yacht charters, catamaran cruises, fishing expeditions, and boat excursions tailored to your group's size, interests, and budget. Visit Colombier's pristine bay — accessible only by boat or hiking trail — snorkel among sea turtles at the Ile Fourchue marine reserve, or sail along the western coast into the sunset with champagne and canapes. Half-day charters typically start from approximately €800, full-day excursions from approximately €1,500, and sunset cruises from €500 for the boat.

Maximum flexibility: design your own itinerary with a private 25-30 ft speedboat and captain. Beach hop, snorkel, visit neighboring islands, or simply cruise the coastline. Half-day or full-day options. Ideal for small groups of 2-6 who want complete freedom.
Your captain knows every cove, reef, and anchorage around St Barth. Colombier Bay (northwest coast) offers pristine snorkeling with green sea turtles in water so clear you can see 20 meters to the bottom. Ile Fourchue, an uninhabited volcanic island 30 minutes northwest, is a designated marine reserve with dramatic rock formations, exceptional snorkeling, and a sheltered bay for swimming. The Pain de Sucre islet (near Gustavia) is a postcard-perfect swimming and photo spot surrounded by coral. Anse de Colombier is the famous Rockefeller Beach, accessible only by boat or a steep 25-minute hike from Flamands — arriving by sea is effortless. For the adventurous, full-day trips to Anguilla (1 hour by speedboat) offer some of the Caribbean's most stunning white-sand beaches, or St Martin/St Maarten (45 min) offers world-class restaurants and duty-free shopping in Marigot.
If you do only one excursion during your stay, make it the sunset cruise. This is the defining St Barth experience — the one that guests remember and talk about for years. Depart from Gustavia harbor in the late afternoon, cruise north along the western coast past Shell Beach, Corossol, and Colombier, then turn south past Pointe Milou (you'll see Villa ONLY VIEW from the water) as the sun descends toward the horizon. The captain drops anchor in a calm spot and serves chilled champagne and freshly prepared canapes as the sky turns gold, amber, and coral. Two to three hours of pure Caribbean magic. Every evening is different — the light, the clouds, the colors — and every sunset is unforgettable. Book through the Villa ONLY VIEW concierge and we arrange everything: the boat, the captain, the champagne, the moment.
Let the Villa ONLY VIEW concierge arrange the perfect boat day — from catamaran cruises to sunset champagne on the Caribbean.
