Kitesurfing in Saint Martin | Heimat am Meer (2023)

And of course the goal is...Saint Martin!

Saint-Martin is still not the best known Caribbean island for kitesurfing, but its reputation in this matter is not fairly judged. Which is great for us as we can ride alone in perfect spots most of the time ;)

We havemany stainsavailable with different properties, for exampleall tastes and all levels. Flat water in a crystalline lagoon, open sea area, waves... choose and we have it!

Warm water, crystalline sea, sunny days, gentle wind, ideal orientation: St. Martin has it all.

Most of the time all famous world kitesurfing peaks are the places where you can find a thermal wind that comes up at the same time every day and subsides in the afternoon. It's really comforting to trust a good wind when you go on a kitesurfing trip... And that's why they are so popular.

But being famous doesn't always mean being great!

Saint-Martin doesn't have that kind of wind. But during the winter period (December to April), which is also our high tourist season, strong winds are part of everyday life in Saint-Martin.

Average wind strength during this time is between 15 and 18 knots. The months of April and May are usually calm and the wind tends to return to the island regularly in July and August.

STRONG AND HOT WIND

Our winter in summer in terms of temperature, but also comes with strong winds most days.

MODERATE HOT WIND

During this time of year, the wind is more erratic and less consistent than the rest of the year.

CONSTANT WIND

Our summer is ideal for kitesurfing! The island is also less crowded and the spots are almost empty.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Our low season is not the best for kitesurfing in terms of wind... But also because it is our hurricane season.

Saint-Martin belongs to the golden triangle of three islands:Saint-Barth, Anguilla e Saint-Martin.

Enjoy some kitesurfing sessions in the most beautiful shallow lagoons with excellent white sand beaches on the side.

Anguilla is a British island on the west side of Saint-Martin.

It is a very flat island with vast white sandy beaches facing endless crystal clear waters. Every year, Anguilla is voted one of the top 3 beaches in the world... So how about kitesurfing in the lagoons on these stunning beaches?

If you're looking to kitesurf in an idyllic location with absolutely no one else, Anguilla is a must. No kitesurfing schools there, no kitesurfing community, it will basically be you on the water!

Anguilla Island is just a 30-minute ferry ride from Saint-Martin. When should we book this trip for you?

Enjoy kitesurfing in light winds in the perfect setting of this precious Caribbean island.

Known as the island where all the famous and rich vacation, Saint-Barth is not just that!

St Barth is a cute island where everything is top notch, as is the kitesurfing school there. "7eme ciel kite surf", owned by our partner Enguerrand, is located on the Grand Cul-de-Sac lagoon.

The place is in a bay with a sandbar in the middle and small waves in the background. Everything you need is there. Furthermore, St. Barth is easily accessible from Saint-Martin, either by ferry (45 minutes), charter plane (10 minutes), a private chartered boat or even a helicopter!!

There are 3 kitesurfing schools on the French side of Saint-Martin and none on the Dutch side.

Each of these kitesurfing schools are located in different areas of the island and use different brands of equipment.

Each of these schools offers a great service with professional advice.

They offer every service you can imagine: kitesurfing and foiling lessons, supervised sessions, equipment of the year (daily, weekly or more) and even kitesurfing trips to sister island Anguilla.

Depending on the type of spots you are looking for and the type of equipment you want to ride, choose the school that best suits your needs! And we will make the arrangements for you.

The Orient Beach location is the most popular in Saint-Martin. Here you will find everything you need: open sea, shallow and clear lagoon, restinga and waves.

Cul-de-sac is a small place with shallow water and a rather large sandbar in the middle. It's the perfect place to practice your freestyle moves and pop as much as you want!

Galion Bay is another great big spot in Saint-Martin with calm waters thanks to a wide barrier reef that closes off the bay and creates the famous Galion surf spot.
