Sailing the East Caribbean requires understanding the distinction between windward and leeward routes, as well as the seasonal weather patterns that dictate cruising safety.

Arrival procedures in St. Martin involve checking in at Marigot on the French side, which is generally cheaper than the Dutch side.2:29 In Grenada, customs clearance is available at Carriacou Marine or Port Louis Marina in St. George’s.7:54 Using the SailClear website before arrival streamlines the immigration and customs process.1:43:34 Essential marine infrastructure, including Island Waterworld and Budget Marine, is concentrated in St. Martin and Grenada to facilitate repairs and provisioning.6:26
