Saint-Pierre : Profile

Docking

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 a large resident yachting community, repair facilities are quite good. Visitors get one week free on arrival in St Pierre marina. Water and electricity are included in the docking fee which is about 1 euro per metre per day. The marina has a 15-ton travelift. Essential spares can be flown in from France, but this can take at least one week.
