Although I think the reviews here are a bit over the top, it is definitely a great kite store. We brought back kites for the nephews. And for ourselves. Prices were very fair. They even have advanced professional kites. You don't see those too often in the stores back home. If you are in Phillipsburg, you should drop in, it's... More

We found this unique shop while walking down the beach in St. Maarten. You can stand in front of the store and look out to see the phenomenal sunset, the cruise ships coming into the harbor, the children dancing in the street to a one-man band playing on the beach. You can grab an ice cream cone on one side... More

I recently traveled to St. Maarten and a few other islands in the Caribbean and visited Caribbean Kites in Philipsburg. The store has a great selection of kites and souvenirs. The owners are also really friendly and took me to the beach to show me how to fly a controllable kite. Definitely worth a stop if you're visiting the island. More

Very nice and relaxing experience to fly kites with Caribbean Kites in St. Maarten. Haven't flown a kite in many years. Forgot how much fun flying a kite can be. Purchased double string kites for myself and children. Maybe with practice my skills will become as amazing as the staff from Caribbean Kites. They make it look so easy. Thanks... More

Salesperson were very helpful in guiding us to the correct kite(so many to choose from!) Then the owner took us out to the beach front and gave us lessons on the proper techniques to fly the kite. We bought the double string kite which was a BLAST, and actually quite challenging. Couldnt be more impressed with the personal touch recieved... More

We loved flying kites in St. Maarten. While shopping in Philipsburg, we discovered the shop, 'Caribbean Kites' and bought one for our day on the beach. We had so much fun, I went back and bought kites to bring home to my nieces and nephews. Really memorable and a great time. Also great photos! More

I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a fun and different activity in St. Maarten. It is conveniently located near the cruise dock so any... More
