Marigot Bay - Docking

Marigot Harbour is a completely sheltered anchorage and one of the best hurricane holes in the region.

Anchoring

It is possible to anchor in the outer bay outside of the channel near the entrance to the bay. The outer anchorage can be busy with numerous tourist boats and hotel guests in sailing dinghies. It can also get very crowded with yachts anchoring, so a watch is recommended.

Marina & Mooring Buoys

There is a marina and resort located in Marigot's inner bay which operates 20 mooring buoys in the inner part of Marigot Bay and promotes itself as an exclusive superyacht facility.

The nightly mooring fee includes the use of the resort facilities, which are very nice, although prices are not cheap. Pay at the marina office once you are tied up.

It is likely a number of small boats will approach you as you enter offering to help with mooring. One of these may well be from the marina mooring field in the inner bay. Others may be touting unofficial mooring balls, so take care.

Security:

Incidents of theft and attempted boarding/theft, after dark and when owners are ashore or away from the boat, have been reported over the past few years and continue to be reported to both CSSN and Noonsite.  See Related Security Reports for the latest information.

It is recommended you remove all unsecured items of value from the deck/cockpit before entering the bay, and keep a record of serial numbers/photos stored in a secure place for purposes of investigation and proof of ownership should a theft occur. Be sure to properly secure all hatches and doors when leaving the boat unattended or asleep, hide all valuables, and secure your dingy and outboard at all times.
