Basse Terre - Docking
The town of Basse-Terre only has docking available for commercial traffic. All pleasure vessels must berth at the Marina Riviere Sens, 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:
Marina Riviere Sens 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.

Marina Riviere Sens
Be careful of your draft; the entrance channel is shallow. I have read that if you draft 7′ or less, you should be OK. WiFi is still down at the docks due to the hurricane. There is WiFi at the marina office.
This is a fine marina and all facilities locally available. Recommended!
Clearance can be made at the Restaurant “Barrakuda” in the North end.
