Saint-Eustache, a Dutch island in the northern Lesser Antilles, offers hiking and diving but presents a challenging, high-roll anchorage.0:24 The anchorage at the port remains consistently rough 24 hours a day, forcing the crew of Silkap to sleep on the cabin floor to mitigate the motion.3:41 Formalities for customs and immigration occur at the port, which also hosts dive centers and hotels.3:31 The island’s primary activity is scuba diving within a protected marine reserve that encircles the island, where reefs and marine life, including numerous lobsters and sea turtles, remained largely intact following Hurricane Irma.9:59 The Subaqua dive center, managed by Swiss and Dutch operators, serves as a primary resource for divers.8:55 Hikers can access the Quill, the island's highest volcanic peak, by purchasing an annual trail badge.6:12 Trails are marked with orange ribbons, and the Guru Maps application provides navigation support for the crater rim and surrounding paths.13:17 The island's historic fort remains under consolidation following damage from Irma, restricting access to the ramparts.1:37
