Changing island, not just anchorage
This is the shortest of our signature cruises, and the first that genuinely leaves Saint-Martin. Away from Grand-Case at 9 am, first stop at Tintamarre to swim with turtles, then the crossing to Saint-Barth — two hours of proper open-water sailing.
Île Fourchue comes up in the middle of the afternoon: an uninhabited volcanic rock, a horseshoe bay, and nobody. In the evening we drop down to Anse Colombier, which no road reaches. Dinner on board, a night at anchor.
The next day, a stop in Gustavia — time to walk the harbour and eat ashore if you want — before setting a course back to Grand-Case for 5 pm. In two days you will have crossed, slept on another island, and sailed four times.

How your two days unfold
This is a guide, not a schedule. Every detail adapts to sea conditions, your pace and the weather.
Day 1 — Tintamarre, then the crossing
-
Departure — Grand-Case, 9 am
Board at the jetty, safety briefing, the captain's cocktail. We cast off in the morning light.
-
Tintamarre, and the turtles
First stop in the nature reserve, under an hour away. The seagrass at the anchorage is a feeding ground for green turtles. Swimming, snorkelling, lunch on board.
-
The crossing to Saint-Barth
Two hours of open-water sailing, under canvas if the trade wind is in. This is where the cruise becomes a passage.
-
Île Fourchue
Five bare hills around a horseshoe bay, no buildings, no land access. Snorkelling in volcanic scenery, then apéritif on deck.
-
Night at Anse Colombier
We move down to anchor for the night in a bay no road reaches. Dinner cooked on board and served on deck, then silence.
Day 2 — Gustavia, and back
-
Morning at Colombier
Breakfast facing the bay, then a last swim in perfectly flat water. That is the hour when the turtles come through.
-
A stop in Gustavia
An hour along the coast to the harbour. You go ashore if you want — the shops, lunch on the quay — or you stay on board.
-
Back — Grand-Case, 5 pm
Two hours north-west, often quicker with the afternoon trade wind. Back at the jetty at the end of the day.
All routes are subject to weather and sea conditions. Kharim always chooses the safest and most beautiful route available.

Two days with real sailing in them
A passage, not a change of bay
Two hours of open water out, two back. That is what separates this cruise from a night at anchor: you actually go somewhere.
Four anchorages in two days
Tintamarre, Île Fourchue, Anse Colombier, Gustavia. Two of them can only be reached from the water.
Time ashore
Gustavia is part of the plan: time to walk the harbour, look at the shops, or eat ashore before heading home.
Everything is on board
The captain's cocktail, lunch, dinner and breakfast cooked on board — the price covers 2 guests, up to 4 on board.

Book your crossing to Saint-BarthQuestions about the Saint-Martin to Saint-Barth cruise
Is the price per person?
No. 2 030 € in low season is the whole boat with its crew and every meal aboard, for 2 guests. Each additional guest joins for 295 €, up to 2 additional guests.
How is this different from the night in Saint-Barth?
The night in Saint-Barth leaves from Gustavia: you need to already be on the island. This one leaves from Grand-Case, crosses over, stops at Tintamarre on the way, and brings you back. They are two separate trips.
Is the crossing rough?
It is two hours of open water, with swell on the beam depending on the day. A catamaran does not heel, which helps a great deal — but this is real sailing, not a sheltered coastal hop.
Is the itinerary guaranteed?
No, and that's intentional. Tintamarre, Île Fourchue, Colombier and Gustavia are the usual route, but sea conditions decide. Kharim always picks the safest and finest route available.
Do we need documents for Saint-Barth?
Saint-Barth and Saint-Martin are both French. An ID card is enough, but do bring one: you will be going ashore in Gustavia.
