Check out VPM Bestsail in St Martin. They are on the North side of the island in Anse Marcel. French company, prices in Euros so you can get some good deals now if you have dollars to spend. I enjoyed the anchorages on the French side of the island, Marigot and Grand Case. Big open air fish market in Marigot on Saturdays. Nice easy sail to St. Barths. Go to Gustavia if you want to see mega yachts and mingle with the rich folks, go to anse de Colombier for a more unspoiled beach. If the seas are calm and you have 10 days, a trip to Saba is worth it. No beaches, but you can take a cab to the top of the island and hike down through beautiful rainforest. I haven't been to Anguilla, but I hear it's nice. Have fun!
