Sailing
Sailing can be a real thrill in French St. martin. Small boats, like Sunfish and Sailfish, may be rented out at many of the hotels, and larger craft can also be chartered from a number of different operators around the island for longer trips to more isolated spots like the Ilet Pinel.
For racing enthusiasts, a number of regattas are held here every year at the end of March.

Fishing
The offshore waters of St. Martin offer a wide and challenging variety of game fish including marlin, tuna, dolphin fish, barracuda, and kingfish. |
The Angers Big Fishing Tournament occurs at the end of March and the Blue Marlin Fishing Tournament takes place here every year in the month of June.
Boats can be chartered at reasonable rates all year long, although some of the fish are only in season in these waters from December through March. Charters typically include bait, tackle, and some form of refreshment.
