Celine Charters — 62-Foot Lagoon 620 Day Sails with 25 Years of Experience
Shared and private charters on the 62-foot catamaran Enigma, operated by Captain Neil Roebert with over 25 years on these waters.
Why Go
Celine Charters puts you on a 62-foot Lagoon 620 catamaran named Enigma — one of the largest and most luxurious day-sail vessels operating out of St. Maarten. Captain Neil Roebert has been running these waters for over 25 years, and the operation reflects that experience: smooth, professional, and generous with the gourmet food and top-shelf open bar.
The Experience
Size matters on the water, and the Lagoon 620 at 62 feet is significantly larger than the standard 40-45 foot catamarans that dominate the charter market. This translates to more deck space for sunbathing and socializing, more shade structures for escape from the midday sun, more stability in open-water crossings, and an interior that feels like a floating apartment rather than a boat cabin. Captain Neil's 25-year track record means the operation runs with the confidence that only comes from thousands of trips. The day sails follow routes refined over decades: local waters around St. Maarten for snorkeling and beach time, Anguilla crossings for pristine sand and turtle encounters, and private charters to St. Barths for exclusive French Caribbean experiences. The shared charter option keeps groups intimate enough for personal service while making the luxury accessible at a lower per-person price point than private charters. The gourmet food and top-shelf open bar are not afterthoughts — they are central to the experience, with quality that reflects the opulent positioning. Water toys, spacious decks, and professional crew round out a day that balances activity with relaxation.
What to Try
Book a shared day sail for an affordable taste of 62-foot catamaran luxury. Upgrade to a private charter for birthdays, weddings, or group celebrations. Request the Anguilla trip for turtle swimming and beach time. Settle into the spacious deck with a cocktail from the top-shelf bar and let the crew handle everything.
Insider Tip
The Lagoon 620's size means the catamaran handles rough weather better than smaller vessels. On choppy days when some operators cancel or passengers get queasy, Enigma's stability keeps the experience comfortable. Book with confidence regardless of sea conditions.
