If you’re planning to attend the Annapolis Sailboat Show this October, be sure to stop by and meet representatives from the St. Maarten Marine Trades Association (SMMTA) and the St. Maarten Tourism Bureau (STB).
From October 15–18, the organizations will be showcasing everything that makes St. Maarten one of the Caribbean’s premier sailing destinations while highlighting the broader cruising opportunities throughout the region. The Annapolis Sailboat Show attracts thousands of sailors each year, making it one of North America’s most influential gatherings for cruising enthusiasts, offshore sailors, and prospective Caribbean cruisers.
For many U.S. sailors, St. Maarten is more than just another island—it’s the Caribbean’s sailing crossroads. Home to world-class marinas, full-service boatyards, skilled marine professionals, and one of the region’s busiest yachting hubs, the island serves as both a destination and a gateway to some of the Caribbean’s best cruising grounds. Whether you’re planning your first winter escape, preparing for an offshore passage, or simply looking for your next adventure afloat, St. Maarten offers easy access, exceptional marine services, and endless opportunities to explore neighboring islands.
Visitors to the SMMTA and STB booth will have the opportunity to learn more about cruising in St. Maarten, discover what’s new in the island’s marine industry and tourism offerings, and connect with local experts who can help make a Caribbean sailing adventure a reality.
If you’re heading to Annapolis this fall, stop by, say hello, and see why so many sailors consider St. Maarten the ideal starting point for exploring the Caribbean by sea.
