 Saint-Pierre : Profile
Saint Pierre on the south-west coast welcomes yachts. The port entrance is quite difficult but there are clear range markers. The approach heading leading to the first pair of markers is 354 degrees true. The second pair of markers leads through the entrance on a bearing of 029 degrees true. When level with the port side breakwater (red light) favour that side and pass between a red beacon and two green buoys to reach the marina. The water on the starboard side of those buoys is shallow.
Thanks to the resident yachting community, there are repair facilities here.
The marina has a 25 ton travelift but they have no other equipment and no way to secure your boat on land unless you bring your own poles etc. Supplies are very limited. There are no chandleries, however essential spares can be flown in from France. Note however that this can take one week and must be picked up at St Denis in the northern part of Reunion.
