I am often operating equipment or I'm out on the water (or under water :) but lots of noise in most cases so please let the phone ring long enough as I might not hear it right away.

If I do not answer or you can't hear me (too much background noise from the engines, etc.) please call back a few hours later or send me an e-mail with your questions.

Your e-mail will be answered within 24 hours; if you don't receive a reply within that time please try sending your e-mail again because that means we probably never received it...

If you need an estimate for the inspection of your raft it is best to e-mail us with as much info as possible in order for us to make an accurate estimate so please send the previous inspection certificate or easier yet fill out this form→→→→→→

We sometimes receive e-mails like this :

Hello,

Please give me an estimate for how much it will cost and how long it will take to service my life raft?
Thanking you in advance,
Mr. D.

And this would be our standard reply :)

Hello Sir,

Thank you for your e-mail.

You do not give us enough information to be able to provide you with an estimate; with what you say it can cost anywhere between 300 and 1500 euro.....and it could take anywhere between 1 day and 3 weeks...

(This is a bit like calling a garage and asking how much it will cost to fix your car without telling them what type of car it is and what you think is wrong with it.... :)

To be able to make you an estimate I would need the following information:

- Brand name

- Model

- Fabrication date

- Date of last inspection

- Date of last hydro-test (of cylinder)

-Dates of perishable items (Flares, First Aid Kit, Anti-Sea-sickness Pills, Batteries, Etc.)

You can find all this information on your last inspection certificate or in the booklet of the raft.

Please scan that and send it so we can take it from there...

WorkShop Drop of and Pick Up Hours

We have very irregular business hours so please do not head over to the workshop in French Cul de Sac without making an appointment; as you have a 75% chance of meeting a locked gate :)

Please call or e-mail to make an appointment preferably at least one day in advance.

Other Drop Off and Pick Up Locations

Maritime School of the West Indies/Maritime Sercices & Training Building
Auberge des Mers
Marina Royale # 20
Marigot 97150
St. Martin French West Indies

If you do not have a car and you have a small raft (up to 10 Pax) you can drop it off at the Maritime School.
That is in Marina Port La Royale in Marigot; accessed through the Simpson bay Lagoon.
You can go dock the tender right in front of the door... as soon as you enter the marina by dinghy you will see a big new parking lot and new docks on your port side, then the first building next to that is the school. It is next to MP yachting; you will see some white flags on the dock that say "MP yachting" and "Jeanneau" and a bunch of little Jeanneau tenders are docked there.
You will see my logo (Life Rafts Etc.) on one of the metallic shutters that always remains closed, as well as Maritime School of the West Indies, No Limits Yachts, Maritime Services and Training, and Yacht Assistance logo's; that is all the same school building.
The school is open on weekdays from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. from October through May.
Drop off at that location is possible from 1 June until September 30 by appointment only.

St. Barth's

Pick up and drop off in St. Barth's can be arranged for a small fee (this only applies to 10 Pax or smaller rafts); it will be transported on the ferry.
