St. Maarten Ship Yard Marina
St. Maarten Ship Yard sits in Cole Bay and runs a serious 20,000 m² facility with both 150- and 75-ton Travelifts, meaning you can haul out vessels with up to a 12-foot draft without breaking a sweat. It's one of the largest and most capable yards in the Eastern Caribbean, so if you need real structural work, bottom jobs, or mast handling done right, this is where you bring your boat. The industrial no-frills setting means business gets done, and the Dutch-side location keeps you close to Simpson Bay's chandleries and marine services.
