SAILORS TAKE NOTE! - Simpson Bay Marina - St Maarten, SXM, CARIBBEAN
For years we have been sailing ‘Sophisticated Lady’ in and through St Maarten on our ways North and South for each changing season.. it is our main stopover point for restocking the boat and getting repairs and parts at the most affordable rates in the Eastern Caribbean.. the place we have chosen as our home base during these stops has routinely been Simpson Bay Marina, an IGY Marina located in the Simpson Bay Lagoon on the Dutch side of St Maarten. And we’ve been supporting them for so long, that they decided to return the favor and are now a sponsor of AmbientRealLife! 🙂 So if you are ever in the area, be sure and stop by and tell them AmbientRealLife sent you! 🙂
