Docking
The town of Basse-Terre only has docking available for commercial traffic. All pleasure vessels must berth at the marina, south of the town.
Anchoring:
It is possible to anchor just north of the entrance to the marina. The holding here is good, but take care to remain on the shallower bank as the water around it is very deep.
Marina:
The marina is approximately 1.6 kms (one mile south) of the town in Gourbeyre. There is a pontoon at the entrance to the marina reserved for visiting yachts, which usually has space for a few nights. There is also a good fuel dock.
Around the marina is a bakery, butcher, vegetable shop, small chandlery, mini-mart as well as a plethora of bars. There is a nice little beach behind the marina. A half hour walk along the promenade takes you into town with larger supermarkets for full provisioning.
