This may be our most important category that covers everything you can’t imagine needing, but suddenly do. This is where the Dockside team’s ingenuity comes into play. Perhaps you need a passenger ferry on standby for a big party to ensure compliance with flag rules? Or you need to discharge black water at anchor in St Barths? Perhaps you need a specific bathrobe the same day and the request comes in at 6:30pm – after stores are closed. Dockside can, and will, find a solution. We do whatever is required to ensure the smooth operation of your yacht and the best experience for your guests, even when it seems impossible.

With our network of amazing independent agents throughout the Caribbean, we are able to provide our clients full support throughout the region. We are more than happy to give you the details of our partners and let you handle the rest. Or, if preferred, we can remain involved to coordinate your charter and provide central billing. Regardless, you are able to use the best local and independent companies while also having the option of centralized coordination and billing.

The smooth arrival to, and departure from, a yacht is critical to the overall guest experience. It sets the first tone and makes a lasting impression. Dockside is at hand to make sure that perfect and timely transfers seamlessly compliment the cruising experience (and that is a tall order when it comes to St. Barths!).

Dockside will ensure your crew transit on and off the vessel with ease. From taxi transfers to ferries to hotel bookings and even international flight purchasing, Dockside can cover all crew travel needs from A to Z. We are also experts on travel within the Caribbean, and are happy to assist with even the most daunting requests.

When you need to bunker ahead of a short or long trip, you can reach out to Dockside. We can organize delivery for all your fuel, oil and lubricant needs in any port in St. Maarten at competitive prices.

The deck team has run out of a special teak product? The chief is out of oil sampling kits or is missing a tool? Or even worse, critical engine spares are needed? Talk to Dockside! Not only do we have the local and international contacts to help you swiftly source parts & products, we also have the know-how for rapid shipping. Most importantly, we will know what can be secured locally so can help you avoid the hassle and expense of importing where not needed.

Whilst most cruising is uneventful, yachting can be unpredictable, and health even more so. Working in tandem with local medical providers and your ship insurers, Dockside can assist with locating the right shoreside medical services for guests and crew. So, whether you need a prescription refill, a masseuse for a sore back, or to organize an ENG1 for crew, Dockside is here to help. And if that dreaded emergency does come to pass, we are experts in airlift and handling emergency situations in St. Barths and St. Maarten/St. Martin.
