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.

- HURRICANE_PROTOCOLVerified
Hurricane / cyclone plan is first-class operational truth here. Haul-out priority and evacuation rules override ordinary reservations.
Harbour master / marina office published notices
- BRIDGEVerified
Air draft is constrained by a bridge at approximately 4 m. This is not a soft guideline.
National hydrographic office / chart catalogue
- BRIDGEVerified
Lagoon entry is bridge-controlled. Treat openings as a lock/bridge allocation, never as a berth reservation.
