Prices
Our website offers “St. Maarten Offshore Prices” for boats that have been registered and cleared by a foreign authority. They do not represent our St. Maarten in-store price tag or our selling prices in every location because most other areas impose additional shipping charges in addition to taxes and tariffs. The goal of every Budget Marine Group location is to provide you with the best pricing available in that area. As a result, there are numerous places that continue to provide intricate duty-free deals. However, the price on the website may differ due to the cost of maintaining these features. Our website displays all pricing in US dollars.
