Sea Grapes International · Sint Maarten
An agency that knows the island
Locally owned, with more than 20 years of maritime industry experience. We help yachts and ships make a call here work, from the approach to the last departure detail.
The work behind the visit
A port call rarely stays on one page
An ETA moves. The berth changes. A crew member needs a flight while the yacht still needs clearance, fuel and provisions. Those requests touch different people ashore, but they all affect the same visit.
Sea Grapes is the agency conversation that holds those details together. Tell us what is known, what is still moving and who needs an answer. We coordinate the practical arrangements with the relevant ports, authorities and providers, then confirm the details of your particular call with you.
Based in Simpson Bay, we work across Sint Maarten and Saint-Martin, including the island’s marinas, bays and anchorages. The arrangements and procedures depend on where and when you arrive.

How we work
From the bridge to the plans ashore
The important part is knowing how one request changes another. We keep the yacht’s needs in view while each arrangement is worked through.
Before arrival
Port formalities, a berth, a fuel window or a bridge-opening request all need the right information early. We help put the questions to the right people; approvals and timings are confirmed separately.
While you are here
Provisions, freight, crew movements and guest plans have to fit around the yacht’s actual schedule. We coordinate the shore-side pieces as the visit takes shape.
Until departure
Changes do not stop once the yacht is alongside. We stay with the call through its onward arrangements and departure details.
Part of the Arthur Black Group
One agency, with the right specialist connections
Sea Grapes leads the yacht and ship agency relationship. Within the wider Arthur Black maritime group, other businesses focus on different parts of a vessel’s visit: Soualiga on provisions, SM Caribbean on fuel and waste, and The Safety Pelican on safety equipment and liferafts.
They are distinct businesses, not departments of Sea Grapes. When a call needs specialist support, we can help make the connection and confirm what each provider can arrange.
