Xisle Boat Charters — Upscale Private Charters for Special Occasions
Private luxury charters on catamarans and powerboats with gourmet meals, premium bar, and customizable routes to Anguilla and St. Barths.
Why Go
Xisle Boat Charters (operating under St Maarten Boat Charters) targets the intimate, upscale end of the charter market. Private-only, no sharing, with a focus on couples, proposals, anniversaries, and the kind of special occasions where the details matter as much as the destination.
The Experience
Xisle curates the private charter experience for moments that need to be perfect. The vessel selection — high-end catamarans and powerboats — provides the platform, while the gourmet meals and premium open bar deliver the onboard experience. The professional captain and crew handle everything from navigation to food service, freeing you to focus on whoever you are sharing the boat with. Customizable day charters explore St. Maarten's coastline, secluded coves, and reef systems. Sunset cruises turn the evening into a floating cocktail party with the Caribbean sky providing the backdrop. Island-hopping trips extend to Anguilla's pristine beaches and St. Barths' French glamour. The Cole Bay base at Red Plum Tree Drive handles booking and logistics, with departure points varying by vessel. For proposals, the crew coordinates timing and champagne delivery. For anniversaries, the personalized touches — menu preferences, music selections, route choices — create a day that feels designed rather than generic.
What to Try
Book a sunset cruise for an anniversary or romantic evening. Plan a proposal charter and discuss the moment's logistics with the crew in advance. Schedule a full-day Anguilla trip for the most pristine beaches in the region. Request specific menu items for the gourmet meal — the kitchen accommodates preferences.
Insider Tip
If you are planning a proposal, tell the crew but not your partner. They will stage the champagne, adjust the music, and position the boat at the most photogenic spot. The crew has facilitated dozens of proposals and knows exactly how to make the moment seamless.
