OUR STORY

About Friendly Duty Free

Over two decades of serving St. Maarten visitors with the finest spirits, unbeatable prices, and genuine Caribbean hospitality.

Friendly Duty Free store front in St. Maarten

A Family Tradition for Over Two Decades

Friendly Duty Free was founded with a simple mission: to offer travelers the best prices on premium spirits without compromising on service quality. What started as a small shop in Philipsburg has grown into St. Maarten's most trusted duty-free destination.

For over two decades, we've welcomed millions of visitors—from cruise ship passengers exploring the island to repeat customers who make our store part of their annual Caribbean tradition.

Our success isn't measured in bottles sold, but in the relationships we've built. Many of our customers have been shopping with us for decades, and we've watched their families grow alongside our business.
