Going to St Maarten next Monday, and wondered if anyone has hired a light aircraft over there? Just want a short dual trip over to St Barts.

If you can't find a school/instructor book a ticket with St Barth Commuter from Grand case to avoid the departure tax from Juliana and ask the pilot for the front seat although it is strictly hands off.

This is a bit hit & miss, however try [email protected]
or try calling - 06 90 569104. UK mobiles do not seem to work on local numbers when you get there.

They had 3 a/c once upon a time prior to a hurricane.
I managed a flight in the one remaining PA-28 in Nov '09. It was an N reg, old but it flew okay, but last year could not get a reply and did not bother driving to Grand Case.
They have a small club facility to the east of the small terminal however I think is only manned by members as and when they go flying.
There is a chap there whose brother lives on St. Barth's and he may offer to take you along if they still have a serviceable plane. I may still have his e-mail address, but he did not reply last November.

If you manage to contact anyone please let me know as I shall be back there soon.
This may be a bit hit and miss however well worth the effort to make it happen.
