Where to Meet
Departure & Return Times
Your Sailboat, Enigma, is anchored out in Simpson Bay on the Dutch Side of Sint Maarten.
We meet all guests at a small dock inside the Simpson Bay Lagoon. At the dock, we will pick you up and transport you out to the sailboat by dinghy. Once all passengers are aboard, we can set sail and your day begins.
Departure Time & Location
Our standard tours typically depart between 8:15 and 8:30 a.m. We kindly request that you arrive at least 15 minutes prior to departure time so that we can depart without delay.
(Actual Departure Time may vary on Private, Custom Charters, please consult your Booking Confirmation email)
Celine Charters SXM departs from the lagoon-side dock behind the restaurant Nowhere Special in Simpson Bay. Nowhere Special is located on Welfare Road, Simpson Bay, adjacent to (east side) the St Maarten Yacht Club and Simpson Bay Bridge.
Return Time & Location
At the end of the day, you will be returned to the dock at Nowhere Special. Return time may vary depending on the destination you have booked. Please check your confirmation email for specific times.

Something Missing?
Is there any information you can’t find after reading this confirmation? You can try taking a look at our Frequently Asked Question section.
Alternatively, use the quick inquiry form at the bottom of the page or reach us by conventional methods via email or phone.
The only dumb question is the one you don’t ask!
How you get to and from our meeting point at Nowhere Special is entirely up to you.
We highly recommend using a taxi or other form of public transportation, due to the limited amount of parking in Simpson Bay. We are only too happy to suggest one of the several taxi and limousine services we work with on a regular basis.
One cheap and convenient method of getting around is the many private small bus services that operate on the island. Prices are typically just a few dollars per passenger. Several popular bus routes pass right by our meeting point (e.g. Maho-Phillipsburg, Phillipsburg-Marigot).
If you must drive yourself, please ensure you leave yourself plenty of extra time for traffic and parking considerations. Traffic on our island can become quite congested, especially at peak times and most especially along Airport/Welfare Road in Simpson Bay. If you are coming from the northern end of the island, you may have several busy areas to get through to reach us (i.e. Marigot, Phillipsburg, Maho).
Parking
IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT park in the car park of Nowhere Special or St Maarten Yacht Club. These areas are reserved for direct patrons of each establishment. If you do park in these areas, your car may not be there when you get back and there may be a hefty fee to get your vehicle back.
There is limited public parking along the roadside to the east of Nowhere Special, in front of the empty lot that used to be Lee’s Roadhouse Grill.
You will also find a large open public car park on the opposite side of Welfare Road, about 200m east of Nowhere Special. Parking is free but spaces are limited and fill up quickly in the mornings, especially during high season (Nov through May)
