 Basse Terre : Profile
Although there is a customs post at the big dock in the town, it is better to use the Customs office at the maina as they are used to dealing with yachts.

Basse Terre is the capital of Guadeloupe and is on the southern end of the island.
The marina is about a mile further south but the visitors' section is not in a good state of repair. It is possible to anchor just north of the entrance. The holding here is good, but take care to remain on the shallower bank as the water around it is very deep.

The marina is about one mile south of the town. There is a visitor's dock, and fuel and water are available.
