SINT MAARTEN YACHT CLUB

Welcome to The Sint Maarten Yacht Club & Sailing School!

We’re here to promote Sailing and Youth Sailing on the beautiful and sunny island of Sint Maarten!

Here’s what we do:

•  We organize races and regattas for our members & non-members

•  We provide instruction and training for sailing and racing

•  We offer both group and private Youth and Adult Sailing classes

•  We have a lot of dinghy sailboat for rent

•  We organize a monthly Trivia Night and more social activities.

One of our goals is to make sailing available for as many individuals as we can. In an effort to make sailing accessible to a broader audience, The Sint Maarten Yacht Club pursues this goal through two projects:

• The Sint Maarten Yacht Club sailing school provides free sailing classes for primary schools on Sint Maarten, during school hours. These classes are funded by private / business donations and the sport department of the Sint Maarten government. A part of this program is the SWIM 2 SAIL – program. This is a program especially for the students that are not able to swim yet or don’t feel comfortable being in/around the water.

• The Sint Maarten Yacht Club sailing school provides free sailing classes for students challenged with a mental or physical disability.

Full-service Premier Yachting Destination.

St. maarten yacht club.

St. Maarten has become one of the Caribbean’s premier yachting destinations hosting some of the most exclusive and luxurious vessels in the world. We also have a thriving long-term and stopover cruising sector. The Simpson Bay Lagoon, in the island’s west houses the main facilities for yachts. The border cuts through the lagoon and divides St. Maarten from St. Martin. The Dutch side has most of the major marinas as well as a wide range of service companies and suppliers.

Yachting has great growth potential. The Simpson Bay Lagoon Authority Corporation (SLAC) has plans to further market and expand this sector. A subsidiary of Port St. Maarten, SLAC is responsible for both the lagoon and the John Sainsborough Lejuez Bridge which spans the only channel in Dutch St. Maarten between the lagoon and the sea. Endless sailing events. Year round. Organized by the Sint Maarten Yacht Club. Yachts of all sizes from across the region come to the main annual sailing event, the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta.

LANDMARK PROJECT Causeway Investment has not been limited to the harbor. In December 2013 construction was completed of a 760-meter causeway connecting Airport Boulevard to Cole Bay. The idea of the causeway was first considered in 2001 and the landmark project has been realized. The principal aim was to ease congestion in the area by providing an alternative route to the Simpson Bay Bridge.

It includes two traffic lanes, walkways on both sides and protective barriers. Located almost along the Dutch-French border, the causeway includes a state-of-the-art swing bridge. This allows yachts to pass in both directions when open. When closed, it has an overhead clearance of 6.0 meters.

MARINAS Anything a captain or a ship might need can be found in St. Maarten. We’re boat country! Over 10 marinas can provide provisioning stores, sail makers, boat builders and chandleries. Haul-out services are available at various locations with three travel lifts with 75-150 ton capacity. 

DIVERSE. VERSATILE. ACCOMMODATING. Elsewhere in St. Maarten, Dock Maarten in Great Bay, the closest marina to the cruise terminal, can accommodate 40 vessels of up to 120 ft in length, while Captain Oliver’s Marina offers 150 berths in Oyster Pond on the east side of the island, which straddles the French/Dutch border. Yachts up to a maximum beam of 56 ft (17 meters) and a maximum draft of 17.0 ft (5.0 meters) can enter the Simpson Bay Lagoon through the John Sainsborough Lejuez Bridge.

GIGA YACHTS Giga yachts and vessels too large to enter the lagoon can be catered to elsewhere, including at designated windjammer berths beside the cruise facility in Great Bay or, depending on the cruise ship schedule, can berth alongside the cruise pier.

Fueling services are available to giga yachts in Great Bay; a fuel station has been installed at the windjammer berth. St. Maarten Harbor Fueling Company NV, a subsidiary of Port St. Maarten operates this facility and handles all refueling operations.

FUEL STATION Opened in 2011, the fuel station was set up solely to handle giga yachts unable to enter the Simpson Bay Lagoon due to depth restrictions. Three 20,000-liter tanks are for delivery at the berths and larger volumes can be delivered by road tanker.

LAGOON AUTHORITY FULFILS VITAL ROLES.

The Simpson Bay Lagoon is a vast enclosed area of relatively shallow water on the western side of St. Maarten, and is separated from the sea with a narrow strip of land on three sides. Straddling the border between St. Maarten/Saint Martin it is a haven for yachts and mega yachts from across the region.

One draw bridge allows vessels out into Simpson Bay and the open sea. The Simpson Bay Lagoon Authority Corporation (SLAC) is responsible for managing this stretch of water as well as the operation of the bridge.

In addition to managing, developing and controling Simpson Bay, the Simpson Bay Lagoon and the John Sainsborough Lejeuz Bridge (the Simpson Bay Bridge) also strives to enhance and improve the environment. It encourages visitors and vessels to comply with local rules and regulations and to keep the lagoon and its facilities safe and free of pollution. It aims to ensure that St. Maarten is one of the best, most pleasant and enjoyable yachting destinations in the Eastern Caribbean. SLAC is also a driving force in the development of economically and environmentally-sustainable and durable yachting tourism in St. Maarten.

LAGOON MANAGEMENT Within the lagoon, SLAC collects mooring fees and is involved in the maintenance of the lagoon. The Lagoon Authority also manages issues concerning dredging and navigation systems. SLAC works in conjunction with the St. Maarten police force and the coastguard to ensure users operate safely. The maritime police force, the St. Maarten Police Force and the coastguard work together.

BRIDGE Opened three times a day for both inbound and outbound traffic, a nominal fee is charge. Small vessels with a clearance of less than 8.6 ft can transit the bridge free of charge while closed. The bridge was installed in 1986 and the current structure will require replacement around 2017.

SECURITY In 2012, cameras were installed on the bridge for security purposes. Improved monitoring and security supported by the airport and the Ministry of Justice. As a result, illegal activity has been significantly reduced.

CUSTOMER CARE FROM SHIP TO GATE Port St. Maarten is known for good customer relations practice. Ensuring smooth, safe and efficient operations is of utmost importance. The key to this objective is a well-trained staff. Cargo handling, vessel services and the passenger experience can depend on it.

SAFETY Vast numbers of passengers as well as transshipment containers pass through our harbor daily. Security and safety is a priority at Port St. Maarten. The GLS has revolutionized the secure handling of port cargo. A police sub-station is strategically placed on the Captain Hodge Wharf. Security measures and practices are visible across the terminal – a comforting message to the passenger far away from home.

Arrival Information Details

Advanced reservations are strongly recommended at Simpson Bay Marina. Berthing is not guaranteed without a confirmed reservation. We ask that you provide advanced notice, when feasible, of your approximate arrival time so we can be fully prepared for your arrival and minimize any inconvenience to you.

After passage through Simpson Bay Bridge, you will be escorted to your slip by an IGY Marinas tender. Dock attendants will guide you in and assist you with docking. Once comfortably settled, we ask that you visit our marina office to check-in. The staff will quickly register you and answer any questions.

Please Note:  Captains and his/her assignee must check-in/check-out with the marina office for each stay unless otherwise arranged with marina management.

Early Check-In / Late Check-Out

If a slip is occupied after 10:30am on the day of your scheduled departure, an additional night’s dockage will be charged to your account.

We will do our absolute best to accommodate your requests whenever possible. In most cases, if your slip is available prior to 4:30 pm on the day of your arrival, or after 10:30 am on the day of your departure, we will allow you to remain in the slip at no additional charge. Prior arrangements must be made with the marina office for early arrival or delayed departure in order to avoid unnecessary charges.

Temporary Slips

In the event an early check-in and/or late check-out is unable to be accommodated in your current slip, we will try to accommodate by making another slip available until such time your slip is available or you are ready to depart the marina.

In the event a temporary slip is made available to you, and you do not relocate the vessel, the marina reserves the right to charge you two times (2x’s) the original daily rate for each night you occupy the temporary slip.

This is necessary as the Simpson Bay Marina has limited availability and at times operates at full occupancy. Failure to relocate the vessel could negatively affect other guests.

CANCELLATION POLICY

All non-peak season reservations require a 72-hour cancellation notice.

*Peak Dates & Restrictions: Peak dates December 1st thru April 30th are not eligible for a refund.

Inspire Giving through You – February 23, 2019

Simpson Bay Marina teamed up with The Yacht Club at Isle de Sol and held a charity fair to raise money and awareness for the following charities:

• St. Maarten Nature Foundation
• St. Maarten Animal Welfare Foundation

Each charity held events at each of their booths and around the marina to help raise money for their charities.  There was a reef clean-up, mangrove clean-up, sail boating demonstrations, swim lessons, tournaments, and lots of items for sale throughout the day.

Charities like the  Nature Foundation St. Maarten  work towards educating the youth on conservation issues and promoting environmental awareness in the community to stop environmental pollution, protect the environment and reduce single-use plastics.  Also, they help to protect and enhance wildlife and marine life species on St. Maarten.  To donate directly to the Nature Foundation St. Maarten click  here .

Simpson Bay Marina Rules

To make your stay with us more enjoyable, the following set of guidelines should be followed. These are merely suggested rules of etiquette and regulations to make the Marina and its facilities more enjoyable for all customers.

• Do not leave garbage on the docks to be picked up.  Garbage should be bagged and tied and then properly placed in designated receptacles, or be placed in the garbage truck, not loosely scattered or abandoned.
• Oils and fuels should be disposed of properly and not in Marina trash can.  Please ask for assistance when disposing of oils, fuels, or chemicals, your concern for the environment helps.
• Try not to introduce any effluents into the Marina lagoon.  Use holding tanks if possible.
• Do not attempt to turn on your own water and electricity.  Please have a dock attendant do it so you can be properly metered in and out.  Using pliers or screwdrivers will damage the equipment and you will be charged.  It is suggested that you read meters along with our dock attendant to ensure accuracy in your metered charges for utilities.
• Anyone caught taking water from another yacht’s tap shall be responsible for the entire water cost of the metered yacht.  Please use your own water.
• Keep power cords and water hoses in a neat and orderly fashion so that no one will trip in the dark or while carrying objects.
• Please wash sails on lawn areas where water outlets and drying spaces are available, or do it aboard your yacht.
• When marking anchor chains with paint, use paper or cardboard beneath your chain to keep wet paint off the docks and other customers’ shoes.
• When cleaning dinghies, make sure you rinse debris and growth off of the docks when finished.
• Lock your boat when leaving it unattended.
• Lock your dinghies and outboard at night, especially Friday nights.
• Try to keep excessive noise down after 10 pm as some people do need their rest.
• Boat repairs being performed at the docks should probably not include grinding and/or power sanding.
• Barbecue and cooking on the docks is prohibited.  Barbecue and cooking should be done on board in suitable equipment and self contained.  Any other way is dangerous and frowned upon.  Kindly clean up after yourself when finished.  Charcoal ash and debris are not to be disposed of into the lagoon.
• When docking, keep bowsprits and davits over water’s edge and not protruding across the docks.
• If bright deck lights or spot lights are to be used at night, avoid pointing them at nearby boats, especially down or into their cabins.
• Try to control your pets.  Some people do get upset by animals, especially when nature calls on their boat.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
