8Advance reservations are strongly recommended at The Yacht Club at Isle de Sol and we cannot guarantee available berthing for guests arriving without a confirmed reservation. We also ask that you provide advance notice, where feasible, of your approximate arrival time so that we can be fully prepared for your arrival and minimize any inconvenience to you.
Upon arrival at the marina, you will be escorted to your slip by an IGY tender and our dock attendants will guide you in and assist you with docking. Once you are comfortably settled into your slip, we ask that you visit our marina office in order to check in. Our office staff will quickly register you with the marina and answer any questions that you have.
Check In/Out TimesCheck-in time is at 5:30pm eastern, while check-out is at 11:00am.
• Early check-in/late check-out If your slip is available before 5:30pm on the day of your arrival or after 11:00am on the date of your departure, we will be happy to allow you to use the slip in that instance at no extra cost. Please request all early check-ins and late check-outs directly with the marina office. We will do our absolute best to accommodate your requests whenever possible. • Temporary slips In the event that an early check-In and/ or late check-out is requested but not possible, the marina staff will try to accommodate you by making another slip available to you temporarily until such time that your slip is available or you are ready to depart the marina. • Procedure The captain or his/her assignee must check in and check out at the marina office in each instance unless otherwise arranged with the marina management. • Additional charges If a slip is occupied after 4:30pm on the day of your scheduled departure, an additional night’s dockage will be charged to your account. BRIDGE INBOUND & OUTBOUND PROCEDURESThe Simpson Bay Bridge is the main access into and out of Simpson Bay Lagoon from the Dutch side of the island. The Bridge can accommodate vessels up to a maximum beam of 55 feet and a maximum draft of 17 feet. When the bridge is closed there is 8.6 feet clearance in the port channel and 8 feet clearance in the starboard channel – all clearance varies on the tide.
The Simpson Bay Bridge will only remain up for a maxi-mum of 15 minutes during each opening so it is imperative that all vessels follow the direction of the dock master in order to maximize the number of vessels that we can get through the bridge at each opening.
The dock master will contact each vessel prior to bridge openings in order to line up vessels in a specific order based on the marina and slip the vessels are using; this procedure is coordinated with the other marinas in the

9lagoon. The captains’ cooperation is necessary and appre-ciated in order to get as many vessels through the bridge as possible during the 15-minute opening period. During times when there is only one bridge opening for both in- and out-bound traffic, the out-bound traffic will precede the inbound traffic in all instances unless specifically noted otherwise by the bridge operator.
In the event that the bridge closes before you are able to enter/exit the lagoon, IGY will work with the bridge operator to reopen the bridge as soon as possible and we will coordinate with you so that you and your crew are fully aware of the situation.
Although our dock masters will try to get all vessels in line and through the bridge in an orderly fashion, we understand that ultimately the captain is responsible for the safe navigation and care of the vessel and will thus make the final decision on how to proceed. In all cases, safety is our primary concern.
Contact Bridge Operator on VHF Channel #12 for permission to enter or leave Simpson Bay Lagoon.
Daily Bridge Opening ScheduleOutbound traffic: 9:00am,11:00am, 4:30pm Inbound traffic: 9:30am, 11:30am, 5:30pm

All vessels must clear in/out with immigrations and customs when sailing between the Dutch and the French side of the island.

Isle De Sol is pleased to work with the port agent of your choice. If you are in need of a port agent for St. Maarten, BWA Caribbean and Dockside Management are our preferred providers for port agency services.

USEFUL INFORMATION IN AN EMERGENCY
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS IGY and The Yacht Club at Isle de Sol are fully commit-ted to preserving the beautiful environment which attracts our guests to the Caribbean. We ask that you help us to ensure that our land and waters remain clean and safe – and we have adopted marina rules to properly regulate activities that may cause pollution. We apologize for any inconvenience that these rules may cause to you, but hope that you will agree to help us preserve the environment for future generations of boaters.
• We have preserved the mangroves that line our shore as a barrier to erosion and as a key breeding ground for fish. Please do not do anything that might damage these important bushes. In particular, we ask that you not cut or break the mangrove branches.
• We have garbage receptacles strategically located around the marina property and the docks. Please use these receptacles for your trash, and please do not dispose of any (including food waste and other organic matter) into the water.
• We ask that you not undertake any work in the marina, which could cause the release of pollutants into the environment. For this reason, sanding, painting and similar activities should be done in a controlled area and generally, should not be undertaken in the marina.
• Discharge of septic systems, fuel, toxic cleaning agents and other pollutants into the water in the marina is a violation of both our marina rules and St. Maarten law. It is strictly prohibited.
• ALL used oil, black water, and grey water removal must be done through the marina office in order to ensure safe and environmentally friendly removal and disposal. Please contact the marina office to schedule waste oil, black or grey water removal, and for the most up-to-date pricing.
• Because the improper delivery of fuel, oil and lubricants also can cause pollution, delivery of any of the above products that have not been ordered through the marina office will not be allowed on the property.
We would be most appreciative if you would immediately contact the marina office if you see any violations of these rules.

NIGHT CLUBSThe most famous night clubs on Sint Maarten at the mo-ment are Bliss, Tantra, and 1Eleven. Bliss and Tantra are located in the Maho area (just past the Airport), and 1Eleven is located in Simpson Bay.
Bliss is an outdoor club, which blends state of the art sound and lighting with a truly Caribbean ambiance of palm trees, cool breezes, and waterfront views.
Tantra is located above Casino Royale in the Sonesta Maho Beach Hotel. The club has a very cosmopolitan feel to it and is quite different from what one would expect on a typical Caribbean island.
1Eleven is located in above the Dolphin Casino in Simpson Bay. They have a different guest DJ every week from all over the world. 1Eleven is a Caribbean club with a Miami vibe.
17There are many casinos on the island and they are all located on the Dutch side. The most convenient ones in terms of location (distance from the marinas) are:
