Funseaker — French-Side Catamaran Charters from Marina Fort Louis
Premium private catamaran charters departing from Marigot's Marina Fort Louis, with gourmet lunch, premium drinks, and Anguilla day trips.
Why Go
Funseaker departs from Marina Fort Louis in Marigot — one of the few charter operations based on the French side. This departure point gives Funseaker faster access to the northern destinations: Anguilla's Rendezvous Bay, Shoal Bay, and Prickly Pear Cays are all closer from Marigot than from the Dutch-side marinas.
The Experience
The Marigot departure changes the geography of a charter day. While most operators leave from Simpson Bay or Philipsburg on the southern Dutch side and spend 30-45 minutes motoring north, Funseaker starts from the French capital's marina at the base of Fort Louis, which sits on the northern coast. Anguilla — the destination that draws the most enthusiasm from charter guests — is visible from the marina on a clear day. The crossing takes less time, which means more time on Anguilla's beaches and in its waters. The catamaran handles the crossing comfortably, and the professional crew manages the itinerary based on conditions. Anguilla options include Rendezvous Bay (soft sand, calm water), Shoal Bay (rated among the best beaches in the Caribbean), Little Bay (accessible only by water), and Prickly Pear Cays (uninhabited sandbars with reef snorkeling). Local St. Martin stops include Tintamarre, Pinel Island, and Creole Rock — the same destinations other operators visit, but reached faster from the northern starting point. Gourmet lunch with an open bar featuring premium drinks, wine, beers, and soft drinks makes the day feel like a floating restaurant as much as a boat tour.
What to Try
Book an Anguilla day trip from Marigot for the shortest crossing and maximum beach time. Request Shoal Bay as a stop — it consistently ranks among the Caribbean's best beaches. Snorkel at Prickly Pear Cays where the reef is healthy and the water is crystal-clear. Enjoy the gourmet lunch while anchored in a calm bay.
Insider Tip
The Marina Fort Louis departure is within walking distance of Marigot's waterfront market, Fort Louis, and several French restaurants. Arrive early for the charter and spend an hour exploring Marigot's most photogenic neighborhood — the fort viewpoint over the harbor is spectacular.
