SINT MAARTEEN ๐ธ๐ฝ CRUISING THE LESSER ANTILLES WITH THE OCEAN POSSE
Sint Maarten is one of the most yacht-friendly destinations in the Caribbean, offering a mix of world-class marinas, vibrant nightlife, duty-free shopping, and easy access to nearby islands. The island is divided between the Dutch side (Sint Maarten) and the French side (Saint Martin), each offering a unique cruising experience.
Approach & Entry
-
Customs & Immigration:
- Clearance is straightforward, with offices in Simpson Bay (Dutch side) and Marigot (French side).
- Dutch side fees are higher but have better facilities, while the French side is often more relaxed.
-
Anchorages & Moorings:
- Simpson Bay: Good holding but can be rolly, best suited for short stays.
- Marigot Bay: More protected, easy access to provisioning.
- Grand Case: Great for a quieter anchorage with excellent dining ashore.
- Tintamarre: A remote, beautiful island just a short sail away.
-
Bridge Openings & Marinas:
- Simpson Bay Bridge (Dutch) and Sandy Ground Bridge (French) allow access to protected lagoon marinas.
- Marinas: IGY Yacht Club, Port de Plaisance, and Yacht Club de Marigot cater to everything from superyachts to liveaboards.
Provisioning & Services
- Chandlery & Repairs: Sint Maarten is one of the best places in the Caribbean for yacht repairs, haul-outs, and parts.
- Supermarkets: Carrefour and Cost U Less (Dutch) for bulk shopping; Super U (French) for gourmet European selections.
- Fuel & Water: Easily available at most marinas.
Shore Life & Entertainment
- Nightlife & Dining: Maho Beach for lively bars, Simpson Bay for casual restaurants, Grand Case for fine French cuisine.
- Beaches: Mullet Bay, Orient Bay (French, clothing-optional), and Anse Marcel for a more secluded feel.
- Activities: Sailing, diving, kitesurfing, and hiking in Pic Paradis.
Nearby Destinations
- Anguilla: 12 nm away, stunning beaches, and a quieter vibe.
- St. Barths: 15 nm away, a high-end luxury hotspot with fantastic anchorages.
- Saba: 30 nm away, excellent diving and hiking.
Final Thoughts
Sint Maarten is a near-perfect stop for provisioning, repairs, and socializing before heading deeper into the Caribbean. While it can be busy, it remains one of the most convenient and well-equipped destinations for cruising yachts.
