Clearance hours at LSM in Îles des Saintes is 14h00 to 16h00 as of Jan. 17, 2023.
Thank you for this update. I wasn’t sure you could clear out in iles des Saintes. We are headed there now. Again thanks
Lovely Island(s) but the main marina Bas-du-Fort has the worst management I know. Despite confirmed reservation they cancelled on brief notice. And that came up by coincidence. Trusting on a written confirmation we booked flights, contractor und much more for a 14 days program. They ignored safety aspects and that they caused us immense issues and financial damage. They offered no support to find an alternative and everything else was too lat. They simply messed it up to inform me on time in order to meet other arrangements. Instead of accepting their fault and behave like gentlemen they lied to told ridiculous stuff “force major” which is 100% excluded. I can only strongly recommend to doubt any written confirmation or even better: avoid this marina completely.
The clearance process in April ran differently than described here.
When I contacted the Coast Guard they told me that the procedure is the same as for Martinique . Everyone has to report in advance via the internet and wait for permission. (See Noonsite: Martinique). Nevertheless, I was allowed to enter the country.
The restrictions for travel into and between French Overseas Departments have now been lifted (Oct 14, 2021). If this article is accurate, all you need is proof of vaccination.

Bon soir,
We are a norwegian sailboat (norway is included in eec, hence as eu), currently in Guadeloupe. We are planning to sail to St. Martin on wednesday but are unsure on the new covid guidelines coming from Guadeloupe.
1 – do we need to have a pcr test before leaving Guadeloupe?
2 – do we get into St Martin without quarantine coming from Guadeloupe?
3 – do we get back to guadeloupe without a pcr test or do we need one arrival? Is quarantine needed on arrival?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards

Batteries:
hello! Our experience with VARTA 165 amp batteries for service was very negative. They have very low lasting and they overheat just after the guaranty expiration. We had 3 on board. One of them exploded releasing toxic gas and acid. Never happened with other brands in our boat. U-SHIP where we bought them could not give us any assistance.
Hi Paul, as your crew are EU you shouldn’t have any problems. They should not need onward tickets. You really don’t see immigration any more, as you do all clearance online in a Chandlery or marina. Normally you just list your crew when you come in and same when you leave.
I am departing Southern Spain bound toward Guadeloupe with a couple of new crew. One is German, the other is Polish. They wish to exit in Guadeloupe and visit the Caribbean islands on their own. I will continue to Canada without them.
Does anyone know if it is possible to leave crew in Guadeloupe and if so what are the requirements? Thank you.
Beware if you anchor at Rocher de Malendure, close to Pigeon Island. Our dinghy with outboard engine was stolen 09-03-2018. It was well tied up to the yacht during the night but the line was cut.
Boat clearance can also be done in the Marina St. Francois for free.
In St. Anne you will find in the village a self-service laundry and there is also a sel-service laundry near Pigeon island, it is situated a little to the south near the diving center Bleu Passion Guadeloupe and reachable by dinghy. Also you will find there a Leader Price.
Diving Pigeon Island – Cousteau Park – Guadeloupe:
Do not try to dive there from your own private boat. We were chased away from a yellow mooring by a commercial operator. Park Rangers confirmed there are not enough moorings for commercials and private – so privates are no longer welcome.
La Desirade, Guadeloupe – from Doyle Guides:
Good news for those who may wish to stay in this tiny harbor. One of the ferries is now gone for good. The remaining ferry docks on the eastern side of the town dock. This means visiting yachts may tie up alongside the southern and western sides of the town dock, space permitting, which is most of the time.

Dinghy Sabotage
Just a warning for people leaving their dinghy tied/locked to the small pontoon at Pigeon Island anchorage, Guadeloupe. We returned from dinner to find our gas tank punctured and further punctures in all three of the flotation tubes – a total of 9 holes.
This from Chris Doyle via the Caribbean Navigator Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/341518759227037/
I was wing and wing in Guadeloupe, passing between the island of Gosier and the town, when I saw ahead of me a string of white buoys that appeared to go all the way across. However boats were anchored on either side of them, so I assumed there was a way through and behind one of the boat there did appear to be a larger gap. So I altered course onto port gybe and headed for it.
When I was about 60 feet away I saw that the gap was an illusion, one buoy was somewhat underwater, and all the buoys were roped together from the island to the mainland as a swimming channel with no passage of boats. I managed to swing into the wind, all sails flogging, and carry up far enough to drop anchor, which held me till I could get the jib furled, the main sheeted in and the engine started. I had not realized that towns could just close of a well-used navigable channel like that without at least some kind of warning. So, since they didn’t let you know I am!
I have been through that gap may times, to be safe I suggest in my guides people go round. It is very well used by local boats, especially the fishing boats and therein lies the problem. Apparently, a swimmer was killed by an outboard motor, so I have sympathy for what they have done, Some kind of warning buoy or notices to places like Compass would be helpful. I don’t think the rope is deployed all the time – it looked fat too new and shiny to have been in the water long. I am just happy I was not under spinnaker!
the river-bridges is closed, so you can’t go through the 2 island
