Trois Ilets : Profile

Location

Trois Ilets lies due south of Port-de-France on the opposite side of the bay. It is a major tourist area.

Clearance

Whilst various guides say you can clear in at the fuel dock here, latest reports from cruisers are that the whole dock has now gone. Attempts to hail customs on the VHF were unsuccesful, so clearance was completed in St. Pierre instead.
