Hurricane season 2025
Published on 16/07/2025
Categories: Notices
The hurricane season began on June 1st and will last until the end of November. We invite you to take precautions as soon as possible.

The authorities of the port of Saint-Martin invite all sailors to take preventive steps for their boats.
→ Secure all objects which, in the event of strong winds, could become dangerous projectiles.
→ As a reminder, Marigot bay and Grand-Case bay, Cul-De-Sac bay, and the lagoon are not shelters in the event of a hurricane. We recommend that you seek shelter on islands further south. Note that mooring is prohibited in public bays upon the announcement of an ORANGE weather alert.
→ The Collectivité of Saint-Martin has implemented an official protocol to manage vessels during hurricane season. It regulates access to Simpson Bay Lagoon, enforces a mooring ban under weather alerts, and outlines responsibilities for boaters and professionals to reduce risks and protect the environment.
→ Find weather links and hurricane warnings on our weather page.
