In the ducht side Bobbys can haul your boat, expensive if you want to
liveaboard in
hurricane season, booking in advance is a priority in Bobbys , some people start booking now!!! Bobbys have mandatory
mast downs , the new Bobbys marina close to Island Waterworld dont drop masts down so you need to goo to FKG
rigging shop and drop the
mast there , after that move to the boatyard without mast.
St Marteen shipyard close to the
airport is another place, distant from town and stores, is clean , a big crane and a big
lift for hauling , some works are taken by the staff. expensive if you be aboard.
French side:
Polypat . sandy ground bridge , Haul by Crane, is fair in prices and you can
liveaboard without more
fees, some works are taken by the staff , mast down mandatory, straps to screws in ground , easy dingy
dock and close to town.
Time Out boatyard, dirty, but good people around,
Lift by crane, check the crane slings , very old crane,no
insurance, close to the
water as Polypat , in hig tides prone to flooding the whole boatyard , mast down mandatory, straps to ground, some shops inside of the boatyard, nice people.
JMC boatyard , a real nice prison, no
water, no toilets, boats stored in pit holes, no chance to
work in the bottom , you can keep your mast up , plenty of tiefs reports, no
security, a nightmare if you liveaboard.
Geminga boatyard, boats haul by crane lift, mast can be up, dirty, nice people , straps to ground , staff stay during hurricanes checking stands and straps, not expensive as JMC, 400 $ for a 42 ft
monohull , close to town and have a bar .
Cheers...
