Be sure that all aboard have passports. More importantly, crew members joining a boat have sometimes experienced difficulty with Immigration officials if they are unable to show an onward ticket. Captains of yachts expecting crew are advised to contact Immigration in advance. On the French side, all yachts must clear in and out of St. Maarten, and all captains should report to customs and the gendarmerie. Immigration is situated in the ferry building at the dock, open from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and 2 to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. On the Dutch side, there are two ports of entry. In Great Bay, Immigration is located just outside the port gates, open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week. The Clearance Office is open from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to noon on weekends. In Simpson Bay, Immigration is located in the Police Station (599.542.2222) and monitors VHF 12. Be sure to also check in with the Simpson Bay Lagoon Authority (599.545.3183).
