Business Point Shipping and Mailing
Marina-based mail hub, package shipping, and yacht crew support at Lagoon Marina.
Why Go
Business Point is not your typical shipping office. Located at Lagoon Marina in Cole Bay, it has evolved into a one-stop support center for the sailing and yachting community while serving the broader population's mail and package needs. With mailbox addresses in both Miami and Amsterdam, internet cafe services, SIM card rentals, and DHL shipping, this is the Swiss Army knife of island logistics services.
The Experience
The Lagoon Marina location tells you a lot about Business Point's clientele and character. Accessible by both land and sea, it serves as a lifeline for yacht crews, long-distance sailors, and the international boating community that uses Simpson Bay Lagoon as a Caribbean base. The core service is mail and small package shipping: fixed mailbox addresses in Miami (US) and Amsterdam (Netherlands) provide receiving points for online purchases and personal mail, with forwarding to St. Maarten on weekly delivery schedules. This dual-address system covers both US and European origins, solving the fundamental problem that most international retailers will not ship directly to a Caribbean island. Beyond shipping, Business Point stacks on services that traveling professionals and boat crews need: internet cafe and office facilities for catching up on work, SIM cards and mobile data packages for communications, short and long-term storage for items you cannot keep on a boat, and even a book exchange for reading material. DHL service provider status adds express shipping capabilities to the standard freight offerings.
What to Try
Set up mailbox addresses in Miami and Amsterdam to cover US and European online shopping. The SIM card and data packages solve connectivity issues for new arrivals. Storage services handle items between trips or boat refit periods.
Insider Tip
If you are arriving by yacht, dinghy into Lagoon Marina and handle mail, connectivity, and shipping in one stop. The book exchange is a sailing community tradition — bring a book, take a book. Lagoonies Bistro next door provides food and drinks while you wait.
