The nature reserves
Some of the anchorages sit inside the St Martin national nature reserve. The rules there are strict and we follow them to the letter.
- Anchoring on designated buoys only, never on coral.
- Fishing and collecting shells or sand are prohibited.
- Do not touch or feed the turtles: keep your distance.
- All waste is carried back ashore.
