Statia’s History

St. Eustatius was named in 1493 by Christopher Columbus and over the following 150 years was claimed 22 times by different European nations until it finally settled as a Dutch territory. St. Eustatius comes from the French saint “Saint Eustace” who is the patron saint of merchants. In 1756, the port town of Oranjestad was claimed as a free port, making it the most important trading port for the West Indies Company and the entire Caribbean, earning the island the nickname “The Golden Rock”. In fact, up to 200 large merchant vessels could anchor in Oranje Bay at any one time. During the height of the merchant trade in the 17th and 18th centuries, thousands of ships would anchor in our bay and it is estimated there are over 400 shipwrecks. The wooden ships have long since rotted away, but what remains is a delight for divers. Mounds of ballast stones have fused together and formed the bedrock for coral gardens, and you’ll spot enormous anchors and canons encrusted with coral, shards of pottery and ancient rum bottles.  

Marine Park

Statia is one of the best kept secrets of the Caribbean. In fact, National Geographic stated Statia's pristine waters have the “best diving in the Caribbean.”  And in 2023, the island topped the list of Scuba Diving Magazine Reader’s Choice Awards, which celebrates the best diving in the world. Statia was ranked  #1 for Best Wreck Diving, Best Macro Life and Best Marine Environment.
