Activities
On this island, your limit is the sky in one
direction and the bottom of the sea in the
other – for on St. Maarten there are no
limits other than the boundaries of nature
itself. You can sail the same 12-meter yacht
that won the America’s Cup, motor a giant
cat along the mythical line separating
the Atlantic from the Caribbean Sea, or
venture out for giant marlin aboard any
one of the fishing boat charters available
year-round. At the St. Maarten Museum,
you can follow the history of the island from prehistoric times.
At St. Maarten Park you will learn about plants and animals that
were here when the Arawaks of South America first landed, then
delight at the antics of the golden lion tamarins and baboons.
