Best time of the year to rent a boat

The best time to rent a boat in Sint Maarten is during the high season, which runs from December to April. The weather during this time is sunny and dry, with temperatures averaging in the mid 80's°F. The water is warm and calm during this time, making it perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and other water activities.

If you're looking for a quieter time to visit, the months just outside of the high season can also be a good option.
