Tropical Sail Loft - North Sails

Tropical Sail Loft is run by Ernst Looser, originally trained in Germany, with over 25 years of sail making experience in St. Maarten. The loft, with Ernst at its helm, has the capabilities and experience to repair all types of sails, even the very latest hi-tech, 3di and superyacht sails, which they regularly service for the many superyachts visiting St. Maarten.

When considering new sails, North Sails Agents for St. Maarten, Ernst along with and Andrea Scarabelli are always happy to discuss and help you with your individual and specific needs – ensuring that you get the very best new sails suited to your requirements.

Tropical Sail Loft has also earned an excellent reputation for their quality custom canvas work (awnings, dodgers, Biminis, etc.) as well as their trampolines and tensile awnings.

The large, well designed and very well stocked loft is located at Lagoon Marina in Cole Bay, with easy access by dinghy or car, and a crane to hoist the heavier sails up to the loft. Ernst has a great reputation for honesty and integrity and for completing on time, every time.
