Island Water World - St.Maarten

St. Maarten is the 'home base' of this excellent chandlery, where shopping is a pleasure in the air-conditioned comfort of their well stocked store. “The Island Water World staff are very helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and give a great service.” 

Don’t have time to shop? Their knowledgeable staff can put together your order for either in store pick up or delivery to your boat. They also offer a free of charge ‘loyalty’ IWW Advantage Card Program, allowing customers to accrue and redeem points in all their locations. Check the website for more information.

All Island Water World stores have ample parking and dinghy access. The Marigot Store also offers very convenient yacht clearance for boats on the French side. 

Elsewhere in the Caribbean, IWW can look after yachts throughout the island chain, with a store in St. Lucia, and two stores in Grenada - including a large waterfront store in St. George’s (opposite Marina Port Louis). 

With a strong focus on providing custom services for the professionally crewed yacht market,
IWW’s Mega Yacht Wholesale Program offers the IWW range of close to 25,000 stock items - for shipping anywhere - at very attractive discounts of between 10 - 50%. 

The Island Water World stores are continually rated as: “Excellent chandleries with very helpful staff and hard to beat prices.”
Their online store, showing freight rates and allowing store pick-ups at all IWW locations throughout the Caribbean has also proven to be a much appreciated convenience. In St. Maarten, IWW Cole Bay offers free deliveries to mega yachts and the IWW ‘Free Courtesy Bike Scheme’ is as popular as ever. Customers have use of an IWW liveried bicycle – requiring a $50 deposit. 

Island Water World’s highly respected Superyacht Tender Service Centre located at their dock in the South East corner of the lagoon (see 'Tender and Dinghy Sales / Service' section) has a workshop / storage facility, 

Positive comments for the IWW chandleries were numerous from yacht crew we talked to in St. Maarten this season:

• “Excellent stock for Superyachts on the shelves.” 
• “IWW have a great range of fishing equipment.” 
• “Very good selection of stainless steel fixtures and fittings.” 
• “IWW have a great product range especially in paints and parts.”

In the south eastern corner of the Lagoon, Island Water World has a dock from where they operate a service centre for superyacht tenders in St. Maarten.
They can haul out tenders up to 29 ft. with their forklift and can handle or project manage most repair / refit works as required.
They have first class sub-contractors on hand to help out with any welding / fabrication works, fine carpentry, epoxy and gelcoat repairs or electrical works – as required.

Dedicated tender storage facilities are available. Island Water World is the Caribbean dealer for Highfield and Caribe dinghies, stocking new dinghies and RIB’s from 8 till 20ft.
