Yacht anchorage in Arlets Bay

Arlets Bay (Anse d'Arlets) is located on the west coast of Martinique, 14 miles north-west of the southern tip of the island.

The yachts are anchored at depths of 3-15 meters to the east of the yellow buoys. The bottom is a thin layer of sand and seaweed. Anchor should be dropped at a depth of more than 7-8 meters, where the layer of sand is sufficient for good holding. With a strong south-easterly wind it is possible to ripple in the bay.

There are paid mooring buoys in the northern part of the bay. On the shore of the bay is a small village with a grocery store.
