Pointe-a-Pitre - Docking

Anchoring:

There are two hurricane holes; Port de Plaisance and Riviere Salee. The passage north through the River Salee is tricky but do-able in daylight and good conditions if your draft is less than two metres.

However, the Bridges of the River Salee are closed until further notice.

There are moorings to the north of Ilet à Cochon which can be booked through the Marina Bas-du-Fort.

Anchoring is not permitted in the area defined by the following co-ordinates:

16°13’26.11 N / 61°32’44.71 W
16°13’32.43 N / 61°32’14.23 W
