I'm confused. Is the yacht club right at the bridge or behind Jimbo's?

Coming from Belair it’s immediately before the bridge on the right. There’s very limited parking and best to get there well before the bridge openings so you can see the yachts lining up, assuming they’re back. Not to be missed, for sure. They serve great Eggs Benedict and their afternoon apps are yummy.

There's no yacht's here now. Bridge openings are quick. Il the parking lot is filled when you go by, just keep going over the bridge to park. Lots of closed businesses.

By the bridge is Sint Maarten Yacht Club. The residences by Jimbo's are Simpson Bay Yacht club.

Mine weren't cold and soggy, but there was SO MUCH breading that I wondered where the fish was. Not for me. Thank you, Scuba and Linda, as that was pretty much my experience, too. They were okay but nothing that I’d rave over and certainly not what I expected given all the rave reviews I’ve read over time. But we all know I’m not much of a foodie so I assumed I was just missing something. And we can all have different expectations.

We just returned from a drive through Maho to Cupecoy and back. Stopped at SMYC for lunch. I had the grouper fingers and my wife had the coconut shrimp. Both were good, hot, crispy and delicious but we both agreed that the shrimp was awesome. Love the place and can't wait to go back for breakfast or dinner or both.

Sorry Carol, no pictures. I'm kind of over taking pictures of food, why I don't know.

I still plan on giving it a go Carol, and probably will have to try breakfast too, just to make sure its as good as advertised. Scuba, my wife loves Bloodys, so shes going to critique those!
