Welcome to Lagoon Sailboat Rental
What can you see? Where can you go?
The Lagoon
Practically nothing disastrous can happen in the
lagoon so enjoy the protected waters. There are no destructive
swells , cruise ships , freighters , whales or submarines.
The most consistent wind in the lagoon is to be
found on the leeward (Western ) side. The most variable wind
direction and difficult gusts are to be found closest to the
mountains.
There are shallows in the following areas : Mullet
Pond, in the bay behind Mont Fortune, Between FKG rigging and Budget
Marine,
If you visit the beach on Grand Ilet please
clean off all the sand before reboarding
The Sailing Area
The Simpson Bay Lagoon is inland water of French
and Dutch territory connected to the sea by two channels. The
western part of the lagoon is pristine large and undisturbed and
we recommend this area for pleasant day cruising. The Eastern
part is home to yacht marinas and yachting services.
95% of the lagoon is sufficiently deep for the
boats
