Simpson Bay Lagoon, Sint Maarten · 18.037°N 63.114°W
The Caribbean's technical and crew-change capital. A lagoon behind a bridge: air draft and opening times are as important as berth length. Isle de Sol and the French side are neighbouring, not identical, products.

Traffic is not availability. Capacity is not occupancy. A reservation flag is not a live berth. EMODnet density is historical context. Forecast is deferred.
SPEED: Dead slow, no wake inside the harbour.
HURRICANE_PROTOCOL: Hurricane / cyclone plan is first-class operational truth here. Haul-out priority and evacuation rules override ordinary reservations.
BRIDGE: Air draft is constrained by a bridge at approximately 4 m. This is not a soft guideline.
BRIDGE: Lagoon entry is bridge-controlled. Treat openings as a lock/bridge allocation, never as a berth reservation.
UNKNOWN — upcoming warning coverage is not a global feed.
