Marigot's waters at 5 knots

The French side of Saint-Martin, between Marigot bay and the big Simpson Bay lagoon with its lifting bridge: that is the setting. Weather-wise: constant trade winds turning every crossing into a fast reach — with 6 hp you pick the calm morning sea, and the exact area is drawn by the operator at the briefing.

Booking at the right moment

The useful season runs from December to April, the northern islands arc made for short hops. Six-hp fleets being the smallest in the harbour, aim for the morning slot.
