Avoid traffic congestion, park at Port de Plaisance on Sunday March 9th! |
 Heineken St. Maarten and the Sint Maarten Yacht Club, organisers of the 28th St Maarten Heineken Regatta, today announced improved parking facilities for the general public during the final party night of the St Maarten Heineken Regatta on Sunday march 9th when international superstar Shaggy will perform at Kim Sha Beach.
In partnership with Port the Plaisance Princess Casino, Heineken St Maarten and the Sint Maarten Yacht club, the parking capacities for the final party at Kim Sha Beach have been greatly improved. The general public is advised to park at Port de Plaisance on Sunday March 9th – the final night of the St Maarten Heineken Regatta.
The big parking lot at Port de Plaisance will be open to the public on Sunday March 9th from 4.00 PM to 2.00 AM and will be guarded. A shuttle boat service will operate from the dock next to the parking lot. The boat shuttles will transport people from the parking lot across the lagoon to the dock of the St Maarten Yacht Club in Simpson Bay. The drop off location at the St Maarten Yacht Club is within walking distance from Kim Sha Beach where the final Regatta party will be held.
Norbert Kout, marketing manager Heineken states: “We operated this shuttle boat service during last year’s Regatta as well and it worked well for the people that used it. However this service was not communicated widely, so most people were not aware of the possibility of parking at Port de Plaisance and ended up parking in the very congested Simpson Bay area on the final night of the Regatta.” Kout ads “As organizers of this great event, not only are working with the police and traffic departments, but we are trying our own initiatives to alleviate the traffic situation in Simpson Bay. That is why we created this parking & boat shuttle facility at Port de Plaisance on Sunday March 9th. We advise all people coming from direction Marigot and Philipsburg to direct their vehicles to Port de Plaisance and avoid the Simpson Bay area.”
The shuttle boat service will operate on Sunday March 9th between 4.00 PM and 2.00 AM. Cost of the shuttle is 4 US dollars for a round trip.
And for the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta? It is March 6-9, only 10 days to go!
