If you’ve heard of Sint Eustatius, chances are it’s for an event that took place here at Fort Oranje on Nov 16, 1776. An American brig offered a salute to the fort, which responded in kind. It is considered the first official recognition of the United States. The flagpole was dedicated by FDR.

Planespotting at Maho Beach is an intrinsic part of a Sint Maarten experience. (Landing is more fun, as takeoff leads to sand blasting.) @visitstmaarten.bsky.social

Sint Eustatius used to have a large Jewish community. The ruins of this synagogue is all that remains. Haunting and beautiful. It was built in 1739 from yellow bricks used as ballast on merchant ships. #TravelAddicts

Another awesome Sint Maarten sunset. I love this place! @visitstmaarten.bsky.social

Some people are a bit scared flying in tiny planes, like this 20 seat DHC-6. Me? Give me the front and a view into the cockpit! 18 minutes of joy with WinAir!

NEW TODAY!! It is hard to put into words just how much I love this island. And really, it has everything you could want in a destination. Here is the culmination of all I learned and experienced. Enjoy! #TravelAddicts @visitstmaarten.bsky.social theroyaltourblog.com/2025/10/15/t...

@minbzk.bsky.social The great thing of having a live webcam on a famous airport, is that you can see guests land. Today, Visit St. Maarten welcomes Dutch State Secretary Eddy van Marum by #klm. #aviation #airplanes #travel #planespotting #pjia #avgeeks #aviationsky m.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZlW...

NEW TODAY! Of all of the places I’ve traveled in my life, perhaps none has such wonderful people as Sint Maarten/Saint-Martin. This island deserves its nickname, the Friendly Island. Check it out! #TravelAddicts @visitstmaarten.bsky.social theroyaltourblog.com/2025/10/08/s...

Sint Maarten has what is called the world’s tallest zip line, at more than 1000 feet. This is the Flying Dutchman, and yes, it goes all the way down that. It was awesome! @visitstmaarten.bsky.social

I’ve definitely had my morning coffee in worse spots than this. Life is good today. @visitstmaarten.bsky.social
