Advance reservations are strongly recommended at
The Yacht Club at Isle de Sol and we cannot guarantee
available berthing for guests arriving without a confirmed
reservation. We also ask that you provide advance notice,
where feasible, of your approximate arrival time so that
we can be fully prepared for your arrival and minimize any
inconvenience to you.
Upon arrival at the marina, you will be escorted to your slip
by an IGY tender and our dock attendants will guide you
in and assist you with docking. Once you are comfortably
settled into your slip, we ask that you visit our marina office
in order to check in. Our office staff will quickly register you
with the marina and answer any questions that you have.
Check In/Out Times
Check-in time is at 5:30pm eastern, while check-out is at
11:00am.
• Early check-in/late check-out If your slip is available
before 5:30pm on the day of your arrival or after 11:00am
on the date of your departure, we will be happy to allow
you to use the slip in that instance at no extra cost.
Please request all early check-ins and late check-outs
directly with the marina office. We will do our absolute
best to accommodate your requests whenever possible.
• Temporary slips In the event that an early check-In and/
or late check-out is requested but not possible, the marina
staff will try to accommodate you by making another slip
available to you temporarily until such time that your slip is
available or you are ready to depart the marina.
• Procedure The captain or his/her assignee must check in
and check out at the marina office in each instance unless
otherwise arranged with the marina management.
• Additional charges If a slip is occupied after 4:30pm on
the day of your scheduled departure, an additional night’s
dockage will be charged to your account.
Bridge Inbound & Outbound
Procedures
The Simpson Bay Bridge is the main access into and out of
Simpson Bay Lagoon from the Dutch side of the island. The
Bridge can accommodate vessels up to a maximum beam
of 55 feet and a maximum draft of 17 feet. When the bridge
is closed there is 8.6 feet clearance in the port channel and
8 feet clearance in the starboard channel – all clearance
varies on the tide.
The Simpson Bay Bridge will only remain up for a maximum of 15 minutes during each opening so it is imperative
that all vessels follow the direction of the dock master in
order to maximize the number of vessels that we can get
through the bridge at each opening.
The dock master will contact each vessel prior to bridge
openings in order to line up vessels in a specific order
based on the marina and slip the vessels are using; this
procedure is coordinated with the other marinas in the
9
lagoon. The captains’ cooperation is necessary and appreciated in order to get as many vessels through the bridge
as possible during the 15-minute opening period. During
times when there is only one bridge opening for both
in- and out-bound traffic, the out-bound traffic will precede
the inbound traffic in all instances unless specifically noted
otherwise by the bridge operator.
BWA Yachting

Dockside Management
T 721 544-4096

In the event that the bridge closes before you are able to
enter/exit the lagoon, IGY will work with the bridge operator
to reopen the bridge as soon as possible and we will
coordinate with you so that you and your crew are fully
aware of the situation.
Immigration & Customs
Although our dock masters will try to get all vessels in line
and through the bridge in an orderly fashion, we understand
that ultimately the captain is responsible for the safe
navigation and care of the vessel and will thus make the
final decision on how to proceed. In all cases, safety is our
primary concern.
Contact Bridge Operator on VHF Channel #12 for
permission to enter or leave Simpson Bay Lagoon.
Daily Bridge Opening Schedule
Outbound traffic:
Inbound traffic: 9:00am,11:00am, 4:30pm
9:30am, 11:30am, 5:30pm
Special bridge openings are available with 24-hours’
advance notice. Please contact the marina office for details
and pricing.
ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE PROCEDURES
Advance reservations are strongly recommended at the
Yacht Club at Isle De Sol and we cannot guarantee available berthing for guests arriving without a confirmed
reservation. We also ask that you provide advance notice,
where feasible, of your approximate arrival time so that we
can be fully prepared for your arrival and minimize any
inconvenience to you. Upon arrival at the marina, you will
be escorted to your slip by an IGY tender and our dock
attendants will guide you in and assist you with docking.
Once you are comfortably settled into your slip, we ask that
you visit our marina office in order to check-in. Our office
staff will quickly register you with the marina and answer
any questions.
All vessels must clear in/out with immigrations and customs
when sailing between the Dutch and the French side of the
island.
Some of our guests elect to use a port agent in St. Maarten
to assist with the paperwork and procedures involved in
clearing in and out of the territory. Isle De Sol is pleased to
work with the port agent of your choice.
If you are in need of a port agent for St. Maarten, BWA
Caribbean and Dockside Management are our preferred
providers for port agency services.
The Immigration Department is in the Police
Station located adjacent to the channel into the
Simpson Bay Lagoon.
When arriving by boat please proceed immediately to a port of entry. No crew or passengers
may disembark before being properly cleared.
Ship’s documents, identification for all crew
members and passengers and clearance from
last port of call must be presented by the ship’s
master. Those reaching a port of entry after
closing hours are required to raise a quarantine
flag, remain on the boat and report the next
morning.
In order to clear in and out of the St. Maarten
Immigration Office you will need the following:
• Two copies of the immigration information
sheets
• A copy of the ship’s registry
• Two copies of the crew list
• Passports of all crew and guests
• These requirements change from time to time
so we suggest you contact your agent or the
marina office to insure that you have the
necessary paper work
Checking out of The Yacht
Club at Isle de Sol
Our office staff is dedicated to making your
departure experience from The Yacht Club at
Isle de Sol fast and hassle-free. Please visit the
marina office on the day of your departure to
obtain your account balance and pay before
leaving. Although your account can be generated while you wait, it will be most efficient for

Environmental Awareness
IGY and The Yacht Club at Isle de Sol are fully committed to preserving the beautiful environment which attracts
our guests to the Caribbean. We ask that you help us to
ensure that our land and waters remain clean and safe
– and we have adopted marina rules to properly regulate
activities that may cause pollution. We apologize for any
inconvenience that these rules may cause to you, but hope
that you will agree to help us preserve the environment for
future generations of boaters.
• We have preserved the mangroves that line our shore
as a barrier to erosion and as a key breeding ground for
fish. Please do not do anything that might damage these
important bushes. In particular, we ask that you not cut or
break the mangrove branches.
• We have garbage receptacles strategically located around
the marina property and the docks. Please use these
receptacles for your trash, and please do not dispose of
any (including food waste and other organic matter) into
the water.
• We ask that you not undertake any work in the marina,
which could cause the release of pollutants into the
environment. For this reason, sanding, painting and
similar activities should be done in a controlled area and
generally, should not be undertaken in the marina.
• Discharge of septic systems, fuel, toxic cleaning agents
and other pollutants into the water in the marina is a
violation of both our marina rules and St. Maarten law. It is
strictly prohibited.
• ALL used oil, black water, and grey water removal must
be done through the marina office in order to ensure safe
and environmentally friendly removal and disposal.
Please contact the marina office to schedule waste oil,
black or grey water removal, and for the most up-to-date
pricing.
• Because the improper delivery of fuel, oil and lubricants
also can cause pollution, delivery of any of the above
products that have not been ordered through the marina
office will not be allowed on the property.
We would be most appreciative if you would immediately
contact the marina office if you see any violations of these
rules.

Night Clubs
The most famous night clubs on Sint Maarten at the moment are Bliss, Tantra, and 1Eleven. Bliss and Tantra
are located in the Maho area (just past the Airport), and
1Eleven is located in Simpson Bay.
Bliss is an outdoor club, which blends state of the art sound
and lighting with a truly Caribbean ambiance of palm trees,
cool breezes, and waterfront views.
Tantra is located above Casino Royale in the Sonesta
Maho Beach Hotel. The club has a very cosmopolitan feel
to it and is quite different from what one would expect on a
typical Caribbean island.
1Eleven is located in above the Dolphin Casino in Simpson
Bay. They have a different guest DJ every week from all
over the world. 1Eleven is a Caribbean club with a Miami
vibe.
