Vieux Fort - General Info
Description:
Vieux Fort is located at the extreme southern end of the island by the international airport.
Entrance Notes or Cautions:
Security
Daytime break-ins have been reported from this port for over a decade (see security reports). In 2014, armed boarders attacked a cruising couple who were anchored overnight here, resulting in the death of the British skipper.
It is advisable to avoid using this port.
If you have to come here (and many yachts still do to collect or drop off crew for the airport), be sure to leave people on board at all times, conceal anything of value out of sight, lock everything and do not spend the night.
