Jon Ferlise

Founder and Owner

Hi there! 👋 I’m Jon, an American 🇺🇸 and Canadian 🇨🇦 who fell in love with Saint Martin the first time I visited back in 2009. Since then, I’ve traveled to Saint Martin countless times, both with family and solo.

I consider the island of Saint Martin a second home, and a heavy favorite to be my first home someday. I love the culture, the community, and the beauty of this small, incredible place. The people have always made me feel at home and welcome.

Following Hurricane Irma, on September 6, 2017, I started SXM Strong to support the island and share information I was gathering to help the island recover. Today, SXM Strong is a place I share everything I know and have learned about this incredible island. 🏝️ 🇫🇷 🇸🇽

If you have any questions or comments, you can reach me here. Thanks for swinging by and hopefully we’ll meet someday in Saint Martin!

Cheers,

Jon
