Nikki Beach St Barths private boat charter from Sint Maarten

Boat, open bar, and a day at the Caribbean's most famous beach club

A private boat charter from Sint Maarten to Nikki Beach Saint Barth, the luxury beach club on Saint-Jean beach known for its white sun beds, live music and global clientele. You travel by your choice of Center Console speedboat or Sunseeker 52 yacht with a professional guide, open bar and snacks included. The boat departs Porto Cupecoy Marina, and table reservations at Nikki Beach are arranged in advance.

The experience

The boat leaves Porto Cupecoy Marina, located at the border between Dutch and French Sint Maarten, and heads across open water to St Barths. A Center Console speedboat departs at 10:30 am. The Sunseeker 52 leaves at 9:30 am when the bridge opens. Both are fully equipped with music already playing, and the ride itself is part of the day. You arrive at Nikki Beach ready to settle in. The beach club sits on the sand at Saint-Jean and opens daily from 9:30 am to 5 pm.

Nikki Beach is the original luxury beach club concept, founded in 1998 and now operating globally from Miami to Dubai. Here on St Barths, it's known for white plush sun beds, chic drapery and the brand's signature teepees scattered across the sand. The music program runs all day with resident DJs and live percussionists. The menu emphasizes fresh seafood, salads, sushi and a raw bar, plus the "Amazing Sundays Brunch" with live cooking stations. Your table reservation is made in advance. The operator will need your credit card details to secure it, following Nikki Beach's booking rules.

The charter includes bottled water, snacks and an open bar with beers and sodas on board your boat. A professional guide fluent in English or Spanish travels with you. Round-trip private transfer is included in the price. You'll need a current valid passport on the day of travel, and the minimum age is 18. The exact travel time depends on the time of day and sea conditions.
