Background

Domburg is a former coffee, cocoa and citrus plantation but still the inhabitants grow lots of citrus and vegetables. The square in the centre on the waterfront is a popular place where local people come to relax in the shadow of the huge almond and mahogany trees (planted by Princess Juliana) and "tak tori" (which means small talk in Sranan Tongo). Round the square you'll find lots of small restaurants and cafes, where mostly Javanese food is served. Especially on Sundays Domburg is quite crowded, as it is very popular with city people who come here to enjoy a lazy afternoon. Obviously in the weekends the menu is also more extensive than on weekdays. A special treat is "petjil" (Javanese vegetables topped with a peanut sauce and served in a banana leaf), but of course there is also barbecue chicken and if you're lucky you'll find even barbecue caiman!!

Weather

Local weather conditions?

Sources for Weather forecasts:

Approach and Navigation

The river is well buoyed, coming from Paramaribo keep red to starboard (IALA-B).

Check-in facilities

The small pontoon is reserved for the ferries to Laarwijk on the other side of the river. Pick up a mooring or anchor in 10 m deep water. The bottom is soft mud so the holding is rather poor and semi-floating tree trunks can be a hazard. The moorings are property of Holsu NV, the fishing company you passed on your right side just before arriving in the anchorage. Mooring fees depend on how long you are staying, €3,00 or €3,50 per night.

Marinas & Yacht Clubs

• There are currently no marinas in Surinam.

Anchorages

• Domburg. This is the only relatively safe anchorage in the area, as local traffic gives the place a wide berth, passing Domburg on the left hand side of the river. An anchor light is obligatory at night.

Tourism & things to do ashore

List places of interest, tours, etc.

Fuel, Water & Electricity

• Fuel at the service station next to the main square.
• Fresh water is available at Holsu, but arrange with the manager before you go there.
• Electricity only in case of emergency and on special arrangement at Holsu.

Laundry
