 Pointe des Galets (Le Port) : Profile
Located on the NW of the island, about 15km west of the capital, St Dennis. Port de la Pointe des Galets is usually referred to simply as "Le Port".
It is an artificial harbour in the western part of Le Port area.
One should tie up alongside the fisherman's wharf south of the entrance, or proceed farther south to the marina and tie up alongside the reception pontoon, in front of the Port Captain’s office that had been inspired by the Sydney Opera House.
Deep-drafted boats should not proceed beyond the finishing wharf, where the depth is 14 ft (4.5 m). Yachts should contact the Capitainerie du Port on VHF Channel 16 and they will advise on the correct procedure.
Yachts which arrive outside working hours usually have to wait until offices open.
