Horizons Customer Comments

We aim to provide the best service available when you charter with us in St. Martin.

Many larger companies cannot match the level of customer service and personal attention that you will receive from us at Horizon Yacht Charters.  Meticulously maintained yachts, one-on-one boat and chart briefings by our friendly and knowledgeable staff ensure a great sailing vacation and good value for money too.

Here’s a selection of what our valued guests have said about us:

St. Martin

Appreciated the little extra’s like provisioning put away – In/Out on time – Ian coming out on last day to pilot us in, and not to worry about cleaning the boat at the end of the charter! Wonderful. Mr. Brown – Bavaria 42 ‘Jennifish’ – January 2011

Great Service, Comfortable and well maintained yacht. Mr. Haugh – Lagoon 38 ‘Lom Dee’ – February 2011

The fact that I could speak Dutch with the office staff was really comfortable for me. Mr. van Wilgenburg – Jeanneau 494 ‘Adventurer of the Seas 2’ – March 2011

Carla was a very professional skipper and we all felt extremely safe in her hands. Mr. Fung – Leopard 43 ‘John Mons Legacy’ – March 2011

This is my forth charter with Horizon. Each had been excellent. Mr. Ashe – Leopard 40 ‘Agility’ – May 2011

Thank you for your help in planning and helping to make this past week's sailing trip great! All of my crew thoroughly enjoyed the vacation aboard Liahona. My brother, Tommy, is already wanting me to plan another trip! I guess he really enjoyed himself. It was the first time on a sailboat for 6 of the guys. In any event, we all had a good time and appreciate the help and support that you at HYC gave us. If our sailing plans call for St. Martin in the future, I will be back in touch. Mayotte 500 'Liahona', Stroud party, May 2010

Horizon was fabulous – great advice and helpful staff – loved our trip, Wilson, Leopard 4500, 'Triple Dog Dare', February 2010

We had an excellent trip, and as I wrote on my survey at the end, of four charter companies I have booked with, Horizon has been the best by far. We're already thinking about our next trip (probably the Grenadines) and Horizon will be our first choice! Brown, I Lean, April 2009

Thank you to all the staff at Horizon and for providing us with a boat in such good condition. We had a lovely trip and appreciate the service and quality of your operation. We carry warm memories of sailing in the islands! Lynn and John Ringseis, Triple Dog Dare, January 2009

“We were very happy with the boat and all the help + assistance of the Horizon Team. We saw a dolphin in Simpson Bay and it stayed with us for at least a half an hour! We are going to buy a boat ourselves and when we left Europe and did our crossing, we definitely going to say hi to the Horizon Team again!” Beryl and Urs Nadler, Flyer of Lorne, January 2009

"Very good service + hospitality, we come back every year!" Brown Eyed Girl, Browning, October 2008

We have chartered many times before- in the BVI, Grenadines, and previously in St. Martin- but have never chartered from Horizon Yacht Charters. We found the boat- Brown Eyed Girl- provisioned and ready to go the minute we arrived in St. Martin. The charter and yacht briefing was thorough and informative. The Horizon Yacht Charters team in Simpson Bay made our departure hassle-free and we even got off a bit earlier than expected. The Boat was well equipped and in good working order. We had a very enjoyable week seeing all that St. Martin, Anguilla, and St. Barths has to offer. I without question would turn to Horizon Yacht Charters for our next sailing vacation. - Martin O'Neill, Brown Eyed Girl, December 2008

'….thanks again for the fantastic time we had on our charter. Both of you provided a perfect service to us for all of the time we spent with you and on our boat. It is great having the personalize support that you gave us.' Triple Dog Dare, May 2008, Hartman

I would really like to thank both of you, and the staff at the Antigua and St Martin Bases for making this our best charter to date. The yacht was in excellent condition and sailed beautifully making both the long haul passages and the anchorages a real pleasure. This was our third Horizon experience, having previously sailed out of the BVI and Grenada, so we have now covered all the bases. I can, therefore, safely say that of all the charters we have done, from Australia to the Caribbean, we have consistently received the best service with Horizon. No small feat!! Best wishes, and, while it's a bit to early to plan next years trip, I have no doubt that it will involve a Horizon base! - January 2008, Sherwood

Great times were had by all. We will definitely be back! - Bavaria 46, Wilson, November 2007

It was such a pleasure to meet David, the Base Director in St Martin. He had such knowledge of the islands that it made our vacation. He was able to pass on the best tips on snorkelling and seemed to know the every single restaurant on the island - which was a great benefit! He couldn't do enough for us - it was a refreshing change.

Thanks, David, for meeting us at Fort Louis after our one way trip from Antigua. We had a great sail and your hospitality was welcomed. See y'all next year!
