ABOUT US
Over the years, the Yacht Club at Port de Plaisance, a BluWater Destination, has continuously evolved and enhanced its facilities and services to meet the diverse needs of the vessels that grace our docks. Our unwavering mission is to provide a safe, friendly, and service-oriented environment, which has only improved each year.
The Yacht Club at Port de Plaisance, a BluWater Destination, was established with the inauguration of the South Marina in 1991. Following much success in the marina industry, Phase 2 was constructed in the summer of 2001 and officially opened in the winter of 2002 with the vision of becoming the premier marina in the Caribbean. To achieve this, we have developed specially tailored packages to accommodate the unpredictable schedules of vessels, particularly larger yachts. Our facility has expanded its capabilities from accommodating yachts of 150 feet to now servicing yachts exceeding 260 feet. With our experienced team, we possess a deeper understanding of the yachting industry’s needs and demands than our competitors and invite you to experience our exceptional service.
Why Choose Sint Maarten?
As a prime tourism destination, Sint Maarten is a paradise for global travelers. This 37-square-mile ‘Friendly Island’ offers stunning beaches, a tropical climate, and a captivating blend of European and Caribbean cultures. But what sets it apart is its status as a completely duty-free and tax-free port. This unique feature attracts yachtsmen from around the world, making Sint Maarten a coveted destination for the mega yacht community. Sint Maarten truly offers everything—from five-star provisioning to repairs and refits. Marine parts and equipment can often be purchased locally at lower prices than in high-traffic areas like the United States, Canada, or Europe. Furthermore, excellent air and sea freight connections provide daily access to an extensive selection of goods, without the burden of taxes, import duties, or typical delays in procurement. Thus, even if a desired item is not immediately available, it can easily be ordered and delivered, making Sint Maarten a convenient and cost-effective choice for yacht owners and operators.
Getting to Sint Maarten is a breeze. The island boasts direct air links to Europe, North America, and the Caribbean through the renowned Princess Juliana International Airport. This airport accommodates wide-bodied passenger jets, private aircraft, and cargo planes. Equipped with a heliport and facilities for private jets, this cosmopolitan Caribbean hub (destination code SXM) serves as a convenient fixed base operator for passengers joining vessels throughout the region. With such easy access, choosing Sint Maarten as your marina destination is a clear choice!
