Cruising the Dutch side of St. Martin offers affordable dockage during the low season, with easy dinghy access to shops, marine stores, and restaurants in the Simpson Bay Lagoon.7:21 Dock rates in the lagoon can drop to $50 per day or less between June and November.7:52 Navigating the island by dinghy avoids traffic, though docks often become crowded.6:02 Sailing from the Dutch side to the French side requires clearing customs and immigration at both ends.8:23 The 10-mile passage around the island to Marigot Bay involves a downwind sail, often manageable under genoa alone.10:21 Marigot Bay features narrower bridge access and more derelict vessels compared to the Dutch side, though it offers high-quality French dining.11:06 Further north, Grand Case provides additional beachside dining and a popular dinghy dock.13:28 The owner of the Ta Chaio Shipbuilding Co. (TAIWAN) Ct-56, Naughty Dogs, is listing the vessel for $160,000 following a raffle winner's choice of a cash payout.14:45
