Airfare Ideas
Two airports available: SXM in Dutch St Maarten, and SFG in
French St Martin. The latter is preferred but it is small and
seemingly for inter-island hops. Found
| Travelocity - around $700/person SFO to SXM using US Airways on
a trip that has multiple connections. |
| Also another $700/person American Airlines with a stop in
Miami. |

Costs
About $1400 to $2100 per person Under age children cost about
$200 less.
This is a higher cost than a typical LIG trip as it is proposed as a 10 day
trip, not a 7 day trip.
This cost was estimated based on the expected
number of people who sign up, the cost of
the boat(s) that we have reserved, partial provisioning (the food on
board) with additional main course purchases, beverages, bar and a small buffer. Some items are estimates, and
are based on previous cruises. We usually come in under estimates with only minor
adjustments.
