Guide
Approach and anchoring
Entry from the Atlantic through a pass in the reef. Cruisers report the pass unbuoyed and charted depths unreliable, so enter in good light. Since a France and Netherlands treaty of May 2023 the border runs down the middle of the pond and its entrance. Inside, sand bottom and shelter from every direction.
Practical
Landing pontoon and water available according to Navily. The former Captain Oliver's marina on the French shore has been out of use since Hurricane Irma in 2017.
