18° 2.3′ N · 63° 5.3′ W

Resort marina on its own islet in the Dutch half of the lagoon, home base for day-charter and private sailing operators, with Carrefour supermarket just behind it in Cole Bay.

Practical

Located in Simpson Bay Lagoon at Cole Bay (Princess Port de Plaisance Resort, portdeplaisanceresort.com). Day-charter boats such as Renegades Sailing depart from the marina waterfront. A 2019 cruiser report noted no wi-fi at the time. The Carrefour behind the marina allowed cruisers to use its dinghy dock as of 2026 (about a 10-minute walk through the parking lot). Berth specs, VHF and rates were not published in sources reviewed - contact the marina.
