Current Fuel Prices in the Leeward

[capnmatt]

Hello, can anyone tell me what the current prices is in St. Martin for marine diesel? We are going to be chartering down there later next June and I am trying to decide whether I should pre-purchase fuel at ~$2USD/litre or just deal with it when we are there. Obviously, prices may be significantly different by the time our charter arrives, but I suppose knowing what they are right now would be a good starting point.

Thank-you!

I'll be there next week putting Callisto back in the water and I'll let you know.
If you are going out of Anse Marcel, the closest alternative fuel dock is Marigot or you would have to time the bridges to get to Island Water World. Go for the $2 liter. That's about what I was paying in July. Especially if the prepaid fuel is loaded on the boat and you don't have to mess with it. Just get onboard your fueled and provisioned boat, cast off and have fun!

The price for diesel at Island Water World today is $1.38/L.
IWW is in Simpson Bay Lagoon. You will have to hit the bridge(s) to get into the lagoon. Not sure the cost at the French side Marigot fuel dock but it will be in Euros.
