Introduction
20thr Yea l
To all yacht captains, crew – owners and guests,
T
ia Spec on i Edit
his Guide of RECOMMENDED SERVICES will help support you in your role as Captain or senior crew, as owner or charter guest, or cruisers on your own yacht, as you make decisions about regions, seasons, services & supplies – to ensure everyone onboard makes the most of every Caribbean Island visited!
This need for a ‘database’ of reliable service contacts is something that stays with us. This was the very ‘raison d’être’ for Andrew starting the Superyacht Services Guides back in 2002... to collate an ‘Inside Guide’ of ‘Recommended Services’, for others to be able to access, in order to share the benefits of each other’s collective experience.
Before arriving in any new port or anchorage, you are probably looking for recommendations, ‘services’ for a job list, maybe a customs or provisioning agent, a dependable discrete driver to pick the owner and guests up – a florist… a reliable engineering firm, a good restaurant for an owner’s dinner ashore. So who should you use / where should you go?
We interview and receive feedback (usually good, though negative on occasions also!) & recommendations from Captains & crew throughout the year. These comments really do get listened to and ‘actioned’ accordingly by us... for in just the same way that we have researched / followed up new recommendations, we have also dropped services from last year, after receiving consistently poor feedback for them.
We often quiz fellow Captains & Crew, to find out who they recommend? With plenty of online search engines & social media groups, there’s no end to accessing information, we are often spoilt for choice! But now more than ever, who is reputable and good, WHO DO WE TRUST?
Recommended Services… As a ‘Captain’s Recommended Service’ they receive a free basic listing in the Guide and are offered the opportunity to advertise/ promote their service further, both in our printed Guides and online. It is important to understand the concept behind the advertising; for without it, there simply would be no book! As this is a relatively niche market, book sales alone could never support the cost of researching and publishing such a Guide.
Over time, Captains and crew slowly acquire a database of reliable service contacts: these quality contacts represent part of our ability to perform roles on board. We all know where the ‘buck stops’ as Captain on a charter or owner’s cruise, when the generator goes down... or when the guest’s specially requested provisions don’t arrive in time!

They are simply ‘your inside’ Guides... Over the past 20 years our regional Guides, in PRINT, DIGITAL and ONLINE, have really proved themselves as incredibly useful points of reference, most often on the Bridge or in the crew mess, full of ‘stickies’ and folds, marking certain pages and services!

You may meet some of the Superyacht Services Guide team researching or distributing Guides at Boat Shows and Regattas worldwide, once they resume. Our Guides are available in marinas & shipyards, some chandleries and yacht agents, as well as for sale through our website, at Bluewater Books in Fort Lauderdale and Stanfords in London.
Our website, www.superyachtservices.com, lists over 10,000 Captains Recommended Services worldwide – a unique SEARCHABLE global database.
Scan here for the DIGITAL FLIP BOOK versions of our Guides, making for easy reading & searching.
This special 20th Edition, The 2022 Caribbean Guide from The Bahamas to Trinidad & Tobago, including The ABC Islands, offers a useful summary introductory page about each Caribbean destination, with a country specific category index to help you find the specific service you are looking for.
Finally, a very special ‘thank you’ to our hard working adventurous SSG team, Mark, Clare, Bobbi and of course Jane, who have still managed to produce a Guide despite the challenges this year brought; our designer Simon Udal for his diligent commitment and superb graphic design skills and to our Admin team who do a lot of work behind the scenes. You are all very appreciated, thank you, and I know Andrew would be so proud of the legacy he left us, 20 years on.
During this unprecedented global COVID-19 pandemic, we have tried to update services as best we can. However please check individual websites to see if they are open and working as normal.
Keep well, stay safe and fair winds to you all.
Scan here for the latest up to date COVID-19 protocols and travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.
Respect this precious world of ours, ‘Leave only footprints in the sand’.

We say farewell to Andrew Blatter, founder of The Superyacht Services Guides… We are sad to share with you that Andrew passed away surrounded by his family, on 6th May 2021, aged 58. "He lives on in spirit... In the waves, the gusts of wind and in the rising and setting of the sun...Giving us strength and filling us with energy and inspiration. We feel his spirit and zest for life with us and in us, in all we are and do. Life is so very precious and boy did Dad live meaningfully, love deeply and seek adventure in all life holds. He taught so many of us to grab life by both hands, to look for opportunity in every hitch and hold on for the ride, that way living your dreams even if you’re not quite sure what they are yet!" By Jessica Blatter
Born and brought up in Hertfordshire, England, Andrew had a bright mind and a strong spirit. He left school at 16 to complete an engineering apprenticeship, before joining his father running a Ford Main Dealership in North London. He quickly earned the respect of the staff, through his mechanical knowledge and innate business acumen. When not playing Club Rugby and Captaining the 1st XV on weekends, he was by the sea, enjoying watersports from a young age.
In 1988 aged 26, after watching a powerful documentary on how Dennis Connor ‘Won the Cup’, he realized that dreams were there to be had. With only a backpack, he headed to Palma to walk the docks, and soon picked up a ride on a family cruising boat as deckie, all the way to the Caribbean. Though he found himself Captain after the hired delivery skipper hastily departed in Gibraltar! With very little experience, Andrew immersed himself in learning chart work and thankfully celestial navigation – embarking on this young family’s dream in the 1988 ARC to Barbados – a 26 day crossing where every challenge possible befell them, including losing all power and fresh water, he navigated the entire way by sextant, the last of the fleet to arrive!

ANDREW BLATTER
S U P E RYAC H T
From Antigua he found a passage on the Swan 61 ‘Windfall’, sailing trans-Pacific to Hong Kong, making lifelong friends along the way, including his now brother in law! During an interruption to his sailing in 1991, Andrew met Caroline again, his sister’s old school friend and a Physiotherapist working in a London Hospital. Antigua became their base, living onboard ‘Tatopani’ and cruising the islands south every summer, with the addition of young Miles to the Blatter crew in 2002. Andrew picked up delivery work and became a roving World Correspondent for Boat International after meeting and learning from the charismatic Roger Lean Vercoe.
On October 10th 1992 they were married, making Mallorca their first home – chartering ‘Windfall’ throughout the MED for a couple of years until a sale and delivery to St. Lucia in the 1994 ARC. Backpacking round India and trekking the Himalaya in Nepal followed for 5 months, before the new Southampton built 85ft Spirit of Tradition ‘Zanna’ beckoned, with another round of trans-Atlantics, wonderful cruising in the Caribbean, Bermuda and the Azores with her owners over two years.
Writing sparked his entrepreneurial spirit and by 2002 The Superyacht Services Guide was born. The Guide’s Recommendation concept was a huge success from the first edition, building a strong committed team and expanding to cover five main regions over the last 18 years. Under the careful guidance of Caroline in the last seven years, SSG continues to be the most respected and trusted ‘go to’ Directory for the yachting industry today. The family lost their adored boat ‘Tatopani’ in the 2004 Hurricane Ivan that devastated Grenada, and soon found themselves ashore in Antigua, with the 3 children settling into this special island community and school at Island Academy. In 2009 they were blessed with the arrival of their fourth child, Emily.
Andrew’s continued zest for learning saw him complete his STCW '95 MCA Class IV Master for yachts up to 3000 tons and become an RYA Yachtmaster Instructor.
Antigua and the Caribbean were very dear to the family’s heart. Andrew immersed himself supporting the yachting industry both locally & internationally, racing in the many regattas on both sides of the Atlantic, the J Class ‘Velsheda’ & SY ‘Rebecca’ being his all time favourites - as was meeting his hero Jimmy Buffett in St. Barth’s!
They were blessed with arrival of children, Tristan in 1997 and Jessica in 1999, basing themselves in Palma once again, on a 37ft cruising boat ‘Tatopani’ as their first home, with Andrew Captaining a tug yacht, and even modelling for Burberry’s on a classic yacht! The West Indies beckoned, with Andrew, Caroline and their two little ones under 3, along with brother in law Chris and his 7 year old son Finn (now of NZ AC fame!) completing ARC 2000 on ‘Tatopani’, in 23 days.
Andrew was a force of nature, with a big heart and voice, he loved to sing and where he started, others followed. His joie de vivre and bonhomie dragged everyone along for the ride, whether they were ready or not. continued...

In contrast, he was also a good listener, with time for everyone, he was able to give sage advice to all who seeked it, whether a corporation or a one-man band. 2011 saw the family move to England, a critical time in the children’s education. Andrew was at the helm of SSG until deteriorating health due to a challenging diagnosis of a Rare Dementia meant he retired in 2016. Andrew was utterly fearless and faced this cruel disease with stoicism, thankfully a lack of insight meant his happy disposition continued, often in song. Cared for by his devoted wife and loving family at home longer than it seemed possible to do so, he sadly had to move into a care home at the end of 2019, the family enduring the brutal challenges and separations COVID brought, heartbreakingly seeing a more rapid decline and deterioration in Andrew.
There has been an overwhelming outpouring of love, support and such kind special messages to his family… the impact of Andrew’s great spirit and force of positive energy felt around the world.
This devastating disease took all communication, mobility and ability for Andrew to care for himself, yet he still felt the presence of his loved ones in the last precious days the family finally spent together as they moved into his room to be with him.
Andrew’s legacy and love of life continues in Caroline and their four children, Tristan, Jessica, Miles and Emily. Written by Andrew Thompson, a lifelong friend of Andrew.

Authors Profiles To get in touch with us, please contact us by email: info@superyachtpublications.com or through www.superyachtservicesguide.com With their collective professional experience in the marine industry, and their knowledge of this region, Clare, Jane, Mark, Bobbi & Caroline are able to create an authoritative insight into the best services available in the Caribbean region.
Mark Acosta Mark Acosta is a Professional Yacht Captain, RYA Yachtmaster and holds a Bsc Honours degree in Economics. He has been working in the Superyacht Industry since 1994 - completing 9 Atlantic crossings, and sailing over 90,000 miles in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Europe and east / west coast of America... right up to Alaska. Mark has a well rounded background of professional experience - especially in the Caribbean region - which includes intensive chartering, major refits and an extensive knowledge of the island chain. Outside his professional work, he is a keen sportsman, competing regularly in OECS squash tournaments throughout the islands, and racing regularly on the Caribbean sailing regatta circuit. He now puts all his extensive efforts and experience into researching and writing the annual Superyacht Services Guides to the Caribbean.
Caroline Blatter Caroline was a physiotherapist working in a London hospital, when her life took a different turn in the early 90’s, meeting Andrew and setting sail on life’s journey together! With a love for the sea and boats, they sailed over 40,000 miles together as professional crew, in the Med and Caribbean: chartering, managing a prominent new build, then living on their own small cruising boat for 6 years with a growing young family. Over the years, home has been Palma, then Antigua for 11 years, and now England. Having set Superyacht Publications up with Andrew in 2002, Caroline now manages the operational & online side of the business, researching/writing & editing for all the Guides with the dynamic SSG Team. She continues to love the outdoors and the sea, embracing/learning from other cultures and those around her, as well as sharing family life with their four children. Tristan, Jessica, Miles and Emily have been pillars of strength and love, especially these last few years in helping care for Andrew, as his health deteriorated.

Clare Sudlow With an RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certification and CordonBleu diploma, Clare found employment in the Superyacht industry at an early age. Crewing aboard both motor and sail boats she gained wide experience in various different roles... as Deckhand aboard a 65' ketch; Mate aboard an 80' classic; Stewardess aboard a 180' motor yacht, and Chef aboard the very first Superyacht to carry a helicopter on her upper deck! In 2004 she joined the Superyacht Publications team to carry out research for the first edition of the Superyacht Services Guide to the Mediterranean before moving on to the Caribbean Guide. 2022 sees Clare moving on to pastures new. She has brought so much to SSG - in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean as well as in the Pacific, with her expertise, local island knowledge, her passion for sailing, good communication skills and wonderful friendly nature making lifelong friends wherever she travelled. Our sincere heartfelt thanks Clare, you will be sorely missed.
Bobbi Fawcett As a former charter skipper and holder of a 100 ton licence, Australian Bobbi enjoyed introducing guests to the pristine waters, the sights and sounds of the Caribbean over the years. Bobbi is now based in the British Virgin Islands, and with good yachting industry knowledge & contacts, she promotes the BVI to a much wider audience as a research author for the Superyacht Services Guides & media sales.
Jane Finch 1955-2021 Jane has been our knowledgeable ‘Research Author’ for The Antigua & Barbuda chapters of this Guide since 2013, and was completing her writings for the 2022 chapter at the time of her tragic death in early October 2021. Please turn to the Antigua Chapter, p404 for a tribute to Jane, a much loved lady in the sailing and English Harbour communities.

Bahamas
L
ying some 70 miles east off Florida’s east coast, the Bahamas archipelago of islands extends southeastwards amidst an ocean of brilliant colours, with turquoise seas and white sandy beaches. If one includes the Turks and Caicos, there are more than 700 islands (of which only about 30 are inhabited) in an area of almost 100,000 square miles. From Bimini in the north east of the chain and 50 miles due east of Miami, to Andros, the largest island in the Bahamas, New Providence with Nassau the capital to Long Island in the south – a fishing enthusiast’s haven! The islands are generally low lying, rising little more than 100ft above sea level, while the depth of water between the islands averages between 10 to 30ft over most of the area. All around the plateaus on which the islands and cays are perched, the Atlantic Ocean plunges to great depths, making for a really spectacular cruising area. The islands are renowned for their gorgeous turquoise clear waters and seemingly endless array of uninhabited cays, with excellent diving and exciting fishing, making them popular charter destinations out of Florida. There are some excellent marinas & resorts with full amenities that can accommodate larger yachts. Walkers Cay in the Abacos is being redeveloped for the largest of superyachts – with luxury facilities and a 2600ft airstrip nearby to accommodate the larger private jets. Likewsie renown IGY Marinas have the new Briland Club Marina in Northern Eleuthera for yachts up to 300ft LOA. For emergency haul-outs or planned maintenance, Bradford Marine Shipyard in Freeport has a 1200 ton Drydock and 150 ton Travel Lift. We have some new recommended local provisioning suppliers and excellent yacht services agents who will ensure those charter yachts on tight schedules are ready for guests, and in these challenging times of COVID, will help support yachts in any way they can. Finally The Bahamas Charter Yacht Show will be held from 24th-27th February in Nassau, welcoming brokers from around the world. Scan here to follow up to date COVID protocols & travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.

Cuba
C
uba is the largest island in the Caribbean chain and its ‘discovery’ and occupation by Spain dates back to Christopher Columbus’s ‘New World’ voyage of 1492. Cuba’s population is estimated at approx. 13 million and the island is approx. 42,803 square miles in surface area. Cuba is strategically placed in the Caribbean chain of islands and offers a pivotal ‘stepping-stone’ gateway to Honduras, Belize, the Cayman Islands, Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, Florida and Jamaica. In recent times, more and more yachts have been visiting Cuba’s shores, and there has been some exciting and adventurous feedback for this historic and culturally rich land from a variety of visiting yachts. Captains planning a Cuba itinerary should ALWAYS use a Cuba-based yacht services contact to organise their cruising itinerary (due mainly to the paperworks and occasional governmental restrictions) and should also continue to measure their expectations after arrival to avoid too many surprises. This cautious compromise, however, is more than outweighed by the unique and wonderful shore-side experiences that Cuba has to offer your guests after arrival. More good news is that visa restrictions for visitors are minimal, private jet entry is welcomed with prior arrangement, VIP handling at the airport is inexpensive (and strongly recommended for both clients and crew members) and direct flights for guests (as well as parts and packages) are available from Europe and Canada. Scan here to follow up to date COVID protocols & travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.

amaica has a rich maritime history in all senses of the word. After Columbus’ discovery of Jamaica and its Taino Indian inhabitants in 1494, the Spanish used Port Royal - then known as Cayo de Carena, on the south east coast - as a shipyard to careen, refurbish and repair ships.
Nowadays, Jamaica’s capital, Kingston, has the 7th largest natural harbour in the world. Port Antonio on the north east coast continues to invest in its former fame as a beautiful and idyllic cruising playground for the rich and famous. Yachts looking for a deep water safe harbour can moor up at Port Antonio’s Errol Flynn Marina. Errol Flynn Marina also has a useful boatyard and haul out facility with a 100ton Travel Lift on hand and there is also a helicopter landing facility onsite. Suitably sized yachts visiting Kingston and Port Royal’s historic site can tie up at the nearby Royal Jamaica Yacht Club Marina, which is just 15 minutes away from the Norman Manley International Airport. On the northwest coast, full FBO facilities are available from the IAM Jet Centre at the Montego Bay Sangster International Airport.

The Dominican Republic was one of the first Caribbean islands to be explored by Christopher Columbus during his maiden voyage of 1492, when he ‘discovered’ the New World for the Spanish and met the native indigenous Taino Indians – who had already been in residence there for over 5,000 years. Re-naming the island ‘Hispaniola’, Columbus marvelled at its natural beauty and resources. The relatively large size of the island requires pre-planning of any cruise. However, with nine international airports and an even larger network of domestic flight transfer networks, clients and owners can conveniently fly in to within easy reach of the yacht. Recommended marina destinations include Casa De Campo (south coast - La Romana), Capa Cana Marina (south east coast – Punta Cana), Marina Zar Par (south coast – Santo Domingo), Puerto Bahia (east coast – Samana) and Ocean World Marina (north coast – Cofresi). It was noted by several captains that securing the services of a good yacht agent in the Dominican Republic is essential. Aerial tours of the island’s dramatic interior and coastlines can easily be arranged and with airport-to-airport and international private transfers / charters also being readily available; clients and owners are never far away from ‘wherever they want to be next’. The north of the island also offers some great kiteboarding and surfing opportunities for crew, owners and guests alike. The Samana peninsular on the north east coast is said to be the most beautiful sub-tropical part of the country – hailed as being one of the best places in the world for whale watching! Casa De Campo and Cap Cana also offer some of the best bill-fishing currently available in the world. The Dominican Republic is increasingly being used as a staging post and gateway for boats moving westwards onto cruising itineraries in Cuba. Refueling and stop-over options also offer an excellent cruising bridge between the Virgin Islands, Turks & Caicos and the Bahamas.

Island Marine is a favourite with many professional yacht captains who have hauled out there and undergone a wide range of refit works – including complete repaints, and a variety of mechanical and technical projects. Business owners Ken Towne and Richard Carolus, along with their team of staff, work very closely with captains and crew in order to look after each yacht's individual needs.

S
t.Thomas represents a favourite ‘home port’ base for many large, professionally crewed yachts due to its easy access to the extensive cruising grounds of the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, the Spanish Virgin Islands and the Leeward Islands beyond, and for its direct air links with the United States. There are numerous daily flights between St. Thomas and the U.S. mainland.
This link with the U.S. also benefits superyachts with the proliferation of first-rate service companies that embrace the very concept of service in the way that the Americans do so well. This commitment to customer service is enjoyed from the first point of contact with your recommended Yacht Agent through to some excellent berthing options from a choice of first rate marinas who really understand the concept of customer service. Few marinas understand the importance of dockside service standards in the way that the team at Crown Bay Marina do and the excellent superyacht dockage facilities at Yacht Haven Grande Marina continue to attract some of the world’s largest yachts up to 450 ft. LOA. The provisioning services in the USVI are also first class, with a great selection of top end retail stores, well-resourced specialist provisioners and excellent wine merchants. Technical services are also well represented by a selection of professional companies including Reefco Services – one of the best refrigeration / air conditioning services available. Additionally, there is a choice of excellent technical service providers, such as Caribbean Inflatables and Offshore Marine. Attractively priced, ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel and quality marine lubricants are available throughout the USVI, with Tri-Island Energy, Carib Oil and Bunkers, of St. Croix, supplying some of the finest quality diesel bunkers available throughout the entire Caribbean. The fuel can be delivered to any dock around St. Thomas or St. Croix. Shoreside, there are some great restaurants to choose from, both in St. Thomas and St. Croix. For further rest and relaxation, there is a choice of excellent golf courses in St. Croix. Out on the water, there are some beautiful cruising grounds to be explored. For game fishing enthusiasts, this includes the Blue Marlin capital of the Caribbean, which can be easily accessed by chartering one of the recommended sport fishing boats at the American Yacht Harbor, Red Hook. Scan here to follow up to date COVID protocols & travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.

Subbase Drydock 8186, Subbase, Charlotte Amalie
(See advert on previous page) Subbase Drydock is a very well recommended versatile and professional full service repair / refit facility in the USVI, with gated 24hr security. Located conveniently close to Crown Bay Marina and immediately adjacent to the Cruise Ship wharfs at Subbase.
This makes the dry dock a good choice to ‘park up’ and get the work done. In recent times, large superyachts, (including some large Perini Navi and Benetti yachts) have been returning in greater numbers to haul and carry out services and repairs in St. Thomas…. and Subbase Drydock has certainly been up to the task of providing a reliable and professional service for even the largest of yachts.
It has deep water approaches, sheltered protection at the docks, and two dry docks of 600 ton and 1,200 ton respectively, which can accommodate large yachts, catamarans and other vessels up to 51ft beam with ease. They also have a 100-ton crane onsite. The facility integrates remarkably well with the other popular and respected service providers located onsite or nearby – including Island Rigging and Hydraulics (good hydraulics capabilities), Offshore Marine (Yamaha & Yanmar dealers) and a host of other recommended service providers.

CANVAS & COVERS MarineTech Buccaneer Mall (Havensight), Charlotte Amalie East These USVI sail and canvas experts at MarineTech continue to provide top class service to all yachts requiring exceptional custom canvas and related work – whether on deck or below decks – in the interior department. Located just a 5-minute walk from Yacht Haven Grande Marina. At the helm of MarineTech's talented and hard-working team are business owner Sandy Sturner and canvas wizard Annie Bellot. Their combined experience, expertise and commitment to excellence are evident in the quality and superb finish in all their canvas works.
Among the special services MarineTech provides is keeping all the patterns they make on file. So, no matter where you are when a duplicate product is needed, a call, e-mail, or fax to them will get a replacement product completed in the shortest time possible without the yacht needing to revisit the island. One of MarineTech’s true fortes is its ability to adapt quickly to ever-changing yacht schedules – especially when provided with scheduling updates as changes occur. As with all successfully busy companies, it is best to call MarineTech early and in advance of any scheduled service work or refit requirements. In summary, MarineTech understands the needs of the superyacht market, and they have the skills, experience and reliable temperament to successfully serve it.

and advice on the phone. It's rare to see that in the marine industry. Normally people want to send out a tech (and bill you for their time) before they even discuss what the problem might be. Great to see people like Reefco still around.
REFRIGERATION / AIR CONDITIONING Reefco Services Frenchtown, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas Reefco Services has provided top rated professional service in Marine Air Conditioning, Refrigeration, Water-makers and Pumps to yachts in the St. Thomas and USVI regions for many years. Their workshop and offices are located in Frenchtown, just behind Petrus Plaza (and very near to Yacht Haven Grand and Crown Bay Marinas). Reefco Services is run by the highly talented David Van Drieson and his wife Tracy, who bring over 30 years of experience to the Reefco team. Reefco Services continue to be one of the best respected technical service companies throughout the island chain, and Captains feedback for them over the past 12 years has been consistently first class: "They talked me though a fix for my busted AC unit. I did it myself and it was exactly as they described. Unit works perfectly now. Reefco didn't charge me for their time
“In 3 years we have sailed over 15,000 miles on our lagoon 500. During that time a lot of things have broken and required repair. In our experience nobody on the eastern seaboard or Caribbean delivers better service and value than the folks at Reefco in St. Thomas. Dave, Tracy and their team of competent professionals are knowledgeable, accessible, and most importantly, service oriented. I highly recommend them for water-maker, air conditioning and refrigeration issues.” Whether advising clients on new systems, knowing how to deal with difficult repair issues in a time crunch, or suggesting the best plan of action, Reefco consistently delivers caring, attentive, professional and personal service. The business also stocks a large inventory of parts for new and old systems. As agents for Dometic (Marine Air /Cruisair) and Frigomar AC; Frigoboat, Vitrifrigo, Seafrost, and Isotherm refrigeration; Eskimo ice machines; Parker (Sea

T
he protected waters and great variety of safe anchorages throughout the British Virgin Islands archipelago have always made it one of the most attractive cruising destinations throughout the Caribbean. The main, “Yachting centres”, of Tortola and Virgin Gorda offer a varied choice of full-service marinas and superyacht berthing options alongside a host of shoreside technical services. Easily accessible duty-free refueling is also available on Tortola. Technical services include: Mechanical engineering solutions from Parts and Power (who also maintain a massive inventory of parts and spares) and first rate electronics support from Cay Electronics, who have capable and experienced technicians specializing in shipboard electronics, satellite communications and high speed internet networks (their technicians will even fly to other islands to provide service). There are also some top quality sailmakers, riggers, a range of first class refinishers and yacht painters plus some of the technical and engineering companies even operate “Chase boats”, to help with emergency service or to deliver spare parts directly to yachts at anchor anywhere throughout the BVI archipelago. For the chefs and the interior crew, a choice of recommended provisioning companies are always standing by with dedicated staff to service yachting clientele and will deliver special provisioning orders directly to any marina. For rest and recreation, guests or crew can take advantage of some truly holistic massage and spa services; for entertainment, a choice of musicians can be hired to play onboard, or the BVI Skydancers, ‘Moko Jumbies’, can be booked for a memorable evening’s entertainment onshore. Enjoy some relaxing shoreside dining and please your palate at one of the highly recommended restaurants or beach bars. Guests can even take a bespoke trip to the exclusive Necker Island! For the less energetic, simply, “Step back in time on Anegada”, enjoy a beach lime with Tropical “Painkiller” rum punches on Jost Van Dyke, visit Cooper Island for a languid beach day.
With so many popular anchorages and sites of interest, the BVI really has something for everyone: Monkey Point, Diamond Reef, Diamond Cay or The Indians for snorkelling highlights, with a choice of recommended Dive centres and PADI courses available to suit your experience. Fly a kite, ride a bike, have a surf lesson or take a hike - Shop for hand-crafted pottery, visit art galleries and for live music, swing by Leverick Bay, Quito’s in Cane Garden Bay & Foxy’s... and every Full Moon, head out to a party in Trellis Bay and enjoy the infamous burning fireballs... just some of the delights that contribute to making the BVI so special! Scan here to follow up to date COVID protocols & travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.

Bitter End Yacht Club Quarterdeck Marina North Sound, Virgin Gorda The Bitter End Quarterdeck Marina at the newly reborn Bitter End Yacht Club provides secure deep draft dockage, either stern-to or alongside for yachts up to 230 feet. The all new Quarterdeck Marina Building is a two-story open-air complex featuring an upstairs lounge with expansive views of the North Sound and enhanced amenities such as marina-wide WIFI, upgraded bathing facilities and hospitality offerings that will make even the most sea-worn sailor feel right at home. The marina is staffed to assist yacht crews in any way they can, ensuring ‘hands on’ personal service to all visiting yachts. The renovated and rebuilt dock facilities provide an increase in berths and include 3 phase, 110v and 220v electrical hookup, fresh water, ice and private dockside bathrooms and showers. A fuel dock, well-stocked provisioning store, shopping experiences, and watersports center are located close by and 24-hour security at the marina and throughout the resort ensures peace of mind. As a visiting yacht, make sure you ask about availability of private venues for shoreside beach dinners, crew holiday packages, as well as concierge services for watersports activities, scuba, deep sea fishing, and Virgin Gorda tours.
For those looking for an exceptional shoreside dining experience, and to quench a captain’s thirst, Bitter End’s diverse village of dining experiences will include a re-boot of the iconic Bitter End Clubhouse - a proper yacht club dining room, plus an open-kitchen and pizzeria, and a yacht club lounge with inarguably the best views in the BVI. The menus at these new food and beverage experiences will be supported by “Bitter End Farms,” producer of amazing fruits, vegetables, spices, and eggs. With five unique dining and drinking experiences, Bitter End Yacht Club is sure to please the most diverse palates so definitely plan to dock for several nights.
Watersports Bitter End Yacht Club Bitter End has long been considered the Caribbean’s premiere watersports destination. And the re-birth of Bitter End would not be complete without a world-class watersports facility and fleet. Bitter End sits at the confluence of North Sound and Eustatia Sound, two natural watersports playgrounds. Perfect for sailing, kiteboarding, windsurfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and so much more. Watersports toys include sailboats, kayaks, SUPs, windsurfers, skiffs and boards. Join in for pre-breakfast SUP Yoga. Bitter End is a great location for kiteboarding with great launching beaches, and a variety of surface conditions ranging from flat water, to moderate chop. SCUBA also available through BEYC based Sunchaser Scuba.
Provisioning The Bitter End Market For yachts heading to points North, South, East, or West, the BEYC-based Bitter End Market stocks everything one needs to provision the galley for a day, a week, or an extended offshore voyage. Among the offerings: garden-grown produce, fresh caught local seafood, prepared dishes, all topped off by BEYC’s world-famous key lime pie and other bakery magic. Other cruising necessities include condiments, ice, paper goods, and a carefully curated selection of wines and spirits.

Shore Side Yacht Services (SSYS) Village Cay, Road Town, Tortola “Frances David’s Shore Side Yacht Services in the BVI’s, is simply one of the best, most knowledgeable agents in the Caribbean – and the world!” to quote one captain of a high profile world cruising superyacht. With offices conveniently located behind Village Cay Marina, this dedicated Superyacht service company is owned by Frances David. Frances has shared her wealth of knowledge, experience and contacts in the charter yacht industry accumulated over 30 years with her team: giving them the best insights to the various demands facing professional yacht crews... and how they can best be solved! Shore Side Yacht Services provides a one stop shop for any professional yacht crew whilst visiting the Virgin Islands. Customs and immigration clearance can commence once a vessel is at a port of entry by simply sending a tender with all the necessary documents to a pre-arranged location. Shore Side will complete the formalities (with no need for the crewmembers to be present) and return the documents to the yacht.
Provisioning is a major part of this company’s business – either for a charter start or mid charter top up. Provisions, along with mail, supplies, flowers or whatever you need, can be delivered directly to your yacht anywhere in the BVI. Shore Side Yacht Services is a thoroughly professional company. We continue to receive top end feedback from many captains and management agents of high profile yachts in the superyacht industry. Praiseworthy quotes of their appreciation include: “It was great having your superb shore support, which we could not have done without…! We will certainly back to see you next time!” “I would like to thank you and your team, as well as the band yesterday - Your assistance made all the difference.” And from another well known captain who appreciates Shore Side Yacht Services whenever cruising in the BVIs… “Thanks always for the special treatment you always afford us.” Contacts - Office: +1(284) 494 5135 Nia Cell & WhatsApp: +1(284) 441 8227 J’kyla Cell & WhatsApp +1(284) 541 8227 Email: info@shoresideservices.com Website: www.shoresideservices.com

Anguilla
A
nguilla rates as one of the best kept secrets of the Caribbean, frequented by few, yet lovingly enjoyed by those that do. It is an island where nature still holds onto its treasures... with 33 stunningly beautiful beaches, a choice of excellent anchorages and off-lying islands to take the boat to whilst on charter. Anguilla is a workable and reliable destination to include on any itinerary for guests or owners. Anguilla also maintains an element of exclusivity allowing high-end clients to feel at ease, enjoying the peace and privacy of the island with discretion. To this end, Anguilla has developed into one of the most exclusive and select destinations in the Caribbean, with a handful of up-market resorts that are welcoming to the patronage of discerning Superyacht clientele. They also have well recommended yacht agents to assist with clearance in Anguilla who can handle all your customs and immigration formalities prior to the yacht’s arrival and then look after all the yacht’s continuing needs throughout its stay in Anguilla (see ‘Yacht Services’ section). Beyond this, there are recommended health spas for yacht guests that would surely rate amongst some of the very best in the world; some delightful restaurants where one can step ashore to enjoy their culinary delights and a change of scenery. Finally Anguilla is the home of Bankie Banx, the ultimate ‘Rasta dude’, who will entertain guests, owners and crew alike with some of the best Caribbean / reggae music at his spectacularly unique ‘Dune Preserve’ beach bar. Hosting an annual ‘Moonsplash’ reggae extravaganza every March around the full moon, and putting on some excellent occasional concerts by internationally famous artists… the Dune Preserve is another one of those stops on the Caribbean circuit “that you just have to make”, as there is simply nowhere else like it!

St. Maarten / St. Martin
S
t. Maarten has carved itself a special niche as one of the most attractive ‘service centres’ for professionally-crewed yachts throughout the entire Caribbean. Last season, this was once again portrayed with the marina dockage space being heavily occupied by some of the most notable and well-known boats in the industry, which were choosing to base out of St. Maarten and take advantage of all the island has to offer.
St. Maarten has a superb range of technical services available to service yachts in 11 different marina facilities – from sails / canvas, mechanical engineering, carpentry, GRP works, painting, welding / fabrication, electrical and systems integrated electronics, CCTV, fuel cleaning, refrigeration and rigging, right through to a private aircraft charter company, a computer sales / service outlet, custom catering services, specialist Tender and Life Raft service centres and a variety of refit / repair companies, seriously worthy of consideration. There are a number of highly respected yacht services agents ready to assist in any way they can; and a first rate selection of provisioning options – from little gourmet stores and a choice of excellent supermarkets, through to some of the Caribbean’s top specialist provisioning outlets and dedicated fine wines suppliers. The island’s duty-free status, combined with its direct links to the USA and Europe, gives yachts the opportunity to purchase any spares / equipment / provisions without paying tax or import duties. With both Budget Marine and Island Water World - the Caribbean’s two largest chandlery chains - based from here, customers are assured the fastest possible access to any spares requirements. There are also some of the best dedicated electrical spares and galley hardware stocks to be found here, a selection of fine florists, fantastic dive shops, a superb retail electronics store and great surf shops. Beyond all this, when the week’s work is done, one can rent a Harley Davidson motorcycle to tour the island; enjoy scuba diving and great watersports; windsurfing and kite boarding at Orient Beach, rent a bicycle or kayak, take a guided hike, go horse riding or spend an afternoon at Loterie Farm enjoying their ‘Fly-zone’ extreme canopy tour; and sample fine dining at any of a great selection of top class restaurants, before taking St. Maarten nightlife to its infinite limits - and beyond! The 43rd St. Maarten Heineken Regatta, one of the most exciting and well-attended racing events in the Caribbean calendar, will be held from 3-6th March, 2022. Travel Requirements: https://stmaartenehas.com/travel-requirements/ Scan here to follow up to date COVID protocols & travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.

CANVAS & COVERS Marine Couture (see also Stores, Tissus & Co in the ‘Interiors’ section) #3 Golden Raintree Drive, Cole Bay Founded in 2006 with a team of just two, Risje van Eijk of Marine Couture now manages a staff of ten upholstery and sewing specialists to meet the indoor and outdoor upholstery demands of her ever growing superyacht clientele and luxury villas owners. Originally established as Home Couture, through references from Ernst at Tropical Sail Loft, she found that she was increasingly being asked to undertake work aboard superyachts. With rapidly growing interest for her quality services in this area, she extended to make another branch of her company named Marine Couture in 2008. Every year we pick up impressive captains’ recommendations for Marine Couture. As Risje explains, the aim of Marine Couture is to produce perfect design solutions for a yacht’s interior and exterior canvas and upholstery solutions, whilst working to each yacht’s different limitations and restrictions - both down below and above deck. The combination of competence, creativity and a large choice of fabrics and materials assure that all Marine Couture projects are realized with success and on time.
Home & Marine Couture’s new extended workshop with showroom is located in Cole Bay, between Ace Hardware and the Orange Grove Centre. Their newly designated fabric store –Tissus & Co – at the Hope Estate, St. Martin (see ‘Interiors’ section for further details), offers clients the opportunity to view the wide collection of indoor and outdoor fabrics, terrycloth, blinds, outdoor furniture catalogues and other decorative items. Marine Couture works with a French guild of craftsmen to ensure that the highest standards of workmanship are consistently upheld. At the workshop, Risje, Julien, her assistant Joan and their team of machinists pride their design and workmanship as meeting the needs to be both elegant and functional in shape and design – as much as in fine workmanship detail. They are able to make delicate light silk curtains and custom designed lampshades as well as heavy protective covers, sophisticated throw pillows, awnings, fitted motor covers, and stylish outdoor mattresses. Captains’ feedback for their works continues to tell the story well: “Marine Couture made some rushed curtains for us, the quality was excellent and they fitted beautifully.” “Very nicely done and good price!” “Excellent standard of workmanship at very reasonable prices.” “On time, good selection of materials and new ideas!” “Risje is fantastic.” “Top, top quality and on time.” And one of the most recent comments received: “We have upholstery work by Marine Couture done three years ago, still in good shape!” Contacts - Tel: +1(721) 523 0607 Cell: +590 (0)690 357 725 Tel: +1(721) 544 2214 Email: risjevaneijk@gmail.com Website: www.marinecouture.org

Marina Fort Louis Baie de Marigot, 97150 St. Martin This marina on the French side of St. Martin, in Marigot, offers 150 berths for yachts up to 260’ LOA/ 12’ depth, with European standard facilities & amenities. Superyachts here have the opportunity to enjoy a pleasurable taste of France, and a choice beyond solely berthing within the Simpson Bay Lagoon - a welcome option, with a significant number of large yachts last season making use of the easy access in and out of the marina, without the restrictions of ‘fixed bridge opening times’. Dockage rates are very reasonable, and available for longer term stays. The extension of the exterior sea wall has proven to be efficient in keeping out the surge in northerly swells, and plans are now in the making for a further large scale expansion of the marina docks. They currently have an outside wall providing alongside berths for yachts up to 65m LOA (with 3.5m draft), and a total of 20 slips for superyachts up to 60m LOA (with 3.5m draft).
Other services include 110v, 220v and 380v power, water, laundry, mail / fax / photocopying / internet services, fuel dock; along with close access by foot to the extensive shopping, bars and restaurants within Marigot itself. The marina is easy going and friendly, with the marina staff always on hand to help out in any way they can, even offering quick and easy clearance at the marina office. The highly recommended waterfront Yacht Club Marina Restaurant – located just outside the marina - is a further reason to consider berthing at Marina Fort Louis as the ‘open all day’ restaurant comes highly rated as being one of the ‘best places to dine’ in Marigot!

Saba
K
nown as the “Smallest and the Tallest!” of the Netherlands Antilles islands, this memorable little island has become an increasingly popular Superyacht destination since being featured in the best-selling book: ‘1000 Places to see before you die’! Saba is not only recommended as being a unique ‘get away from it all’ destination, but for Superyachts with energetic guests or owners on board, this small island offers exceptional diving and equally exceptional hiking in the island’s pristine mountainous lush interior. All large yachts visiting The Saba Marine Park are advised to contact the authorities ahead of time to be advised of the moorings available or for information on anchoring. As one of the most important Caribbean dive areas, the island of Saba boasts decompression chambers, and SCUBA diving within the National Park is only permitted when accompanied by an approved local dive shop (all details can be found within this chapter). Increasingly those Superyachts that carry their own ‘on board’ submarines are enjoying the stunning underwater world of this outstanding diving destination. Apart from the fabulous diving, Saba specializes in beautiful scenery, delightful little villages with friendly people; an island tour is essential, taking in a delicious lunch at one of the island’s highly recommended hotels or restaurants.
For busy crewmembers in need of a break, Saba offers a complete ‘de-stressing’ and ideal escape destination from the excesses of neighbouring contemporary St. Maarten. In fact, ‘getting high’ in Saba has a whole new meaning in itself… with its towering Mt. Scenery Volcano ascending to 2853ft above sea level and often above the clouds, this is a very different island experience! There are many recommended hotel options to choose from too, so whether you arrive there by Superyacht, by plane or helicopter (see ‘Airlines’ section) or Ferry (see ‘Ferry Services’ section), Saba really does offer a thoroughly enjoyable and revitalizing ‘getaway experience’. Scan here to follow up to date COVID protocols & travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.

aint Barthélemy - L’art d’être une île!
Tiny St. Barth’s is the jewel of the French West Indies, and has long been a favourite of sophisticated international travelers, jet setters, successful business executives and entrepreneurs, who come for its beauty, ambiance and casual elegance. Year after year, St. Barth’s attracts the highest concentration of superyachts in the Caribbean, with owners and guests really enjoying the island’s beautiful French sophisticated style, mixed with some charming Swedish touches that originated from its interesting early history. Besides gorgeous white sandy beaches, fine dining in chic restaurants and world class shopping, St. Barth’s also offers a selection of first-class superyacht services. Here, captains and crews can find everything – from top class provisioning, fine wines, beautiful flower arrangements, luxurious spas for their guests, and the support of efficient ‘Yacht Services’ agents, used by the majority of visiting yachts - with all the inside island knowledge one could wish for. The New Year’s Eve Regatta (see ‘Regattas’ section), along with the amazing street party, live bands and fireworks, is more than enough reason to ‘see in the New Year’ here. St. Barth’s also hosts one of the most popular regattas on the worldwide superyacht calendar at the end of March … the highly famed ‘St. Barth’s Bucket’. It is one of the friendliest, social (yet exclusive) events – not to be missed! With Les Voiles to St. Barth’s attracting some of the top world class racing yachts during a five-day regatta in April, as its legions of devotees attest, St. Barth’s is one of the Caribbean’s most unique islands, and a truly special place to visit. Scan here to follow up to date COVID protocols & travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.

fun and practical vehicles include convertible Mini Coopers, convertible, Suzuki Jimny automatics with a/c, Hyundai I10 and I20, Hyundai Kona and Tucson Open roof four-door automatics with a/c - and permanent 4 x 4 models - Wrangler five-door soft top, and comfortable and stylish Hyundai Santa Fe sevenseaters. They also boast Audi A3 Convertible, Volkswagen T-Rock convertible, Seat Ateca fr. Prices are said to be fair and highly competitive! The main office is at the airport, but they will pick up and deliver cars to the port or anywhere on island, providing this service literally 24 hours and day, seven days a week!
Speaking perfect English, Francis has been working within the car rental industry in St. Barth’s for many years and consequently, really understands the exact requirements of her superyacht clients.

DIVE CENTRES / COMMERCIAL UNDERWATER SERVICES DIVE CENTRES Birdy Dive – Island Diving Collectivity Dock – spot no 29, Gustavia This professional Scuba Diving Centre in St. Barth’s is run by charismatic Birdy who has been diving professionally since 1989! As former owner of St. Barth Plongée for 27 years, Birdy has supervised a massive 6,000+ dives – introducing and welcoming back approximately 16,000 people to the beautiful underwater dive sites of St. Barth’s. “Plus… plus… Plus… plus” is how highly one captain rated Birdy’s dive services, and further Captain’s quotes really back up the fantastic positive feedback we pick up for this outgoing and enthusiastic guy each year:
Birdy works with many high profile yachts and his incredible return rate tells the story best of all! He has NO set practice... and instead, uses his wonderfully sensitive personal nature, to listen / learn how he'll be able to help every new diver. He's an extremely personal and sensitive instructor, really into 'mental relaxation' for people who are unsure, scared or just need a little help. For those that need it, he'll be there to hold your hand; with the most personalized 'one to one' diving one could wish for (children included). As a qualified PADI Instructor, Birdy offers the full range of courses, 'rendezvous' diving in Colombier and for more experienced divers, a custom tour of all / any the top dive sites on island and the custom designed 35ft. boat (with Bimini and 'flipper friendly' boarding ladder) underwent a ‘Newer Than New’ complete repaint this year.
“I had him do a PADI resort course and a dive for our clients. They loved the experience and they loved him. He is well presented and on time.” Indeed, if you or your guests have ever thought of diving, but never know how / where to start, this is most certainly THE man to come to!

MARINAS & MOORINGS Port de Gustavia The Port of Gustavia in St. Barth’s continues to come rated as being one of the most popular and beautiful natural harbours in the world. Berthing in Gustavia, requires dropping an anchor and going stern-to the quay wall. Before entering or manoeuvering within the port, all yachts must obtain specific authorization from the Port Captain's office (call VHF Ch. 12 'Port de Gustavia'). Whilst they don't officially take reservations, yachts are well advised to fax / email them in advance of the dates they are planning to come, with the yacht’s dimensions. This will enable the Harbour Master – Ernest Brin, assisted by dock master Jacques – to plan their berthing accordingly, bringing a far greater chance of having one's own berth available upon the day of arrival.
Port Office opening hours are 0700-1800hrs, 7 days a week, all year round (Public Holidays included) and clearance can be carried out online, a maximum of 24 hours before checking in at the port office (see ‘Customs / Immigration’ section). There is a fuel facility for smaller yachts and tenders at the neighboring commercial dock at Public. Fuel bunkering by truck to yachts in the port can be arranged (see ‘Fuel Bunkering’ section for more details). Due to the optical cable running under the water from Shell beach, there is a ‘no anchoring’ channel off the beach, marked by yellow buoys topped with St. Andrew’s crosses.

St. Kitts & Nevis
S
t. Kitts and Nevis are two of the most natural and least developed islands in the Caribbean. With a past steeped in history, this twin-island state oozes appeal to ‘yachties’ who have come to ‘explore and discover’. The Christophe Harbour Superyacht Marina and Real Estate Development offers superyachts a full range of premier yacht services with an onsite ‘fuel farm’ – providing inslip bunkering at very competitive rates plus a host of other crew services and amenities (see ‘Marina / Real Estate Development’ section). Lying only 1.78 nautical miles south-east of St. Kitts, Nevis offers a host of other attractions that are easily accessible, too. There are also some excellent marina berths / docks at Port Zante Marina in Basseterre (St. Kitts), where they are capable of handling yachts from 50 ft in length to over 500 ft (see ‘Marinas & Moorings’ section). These facilities now allow many more yachts to visit and experience a wonderful taste of the island's history and its lush tropical rainforest interior. Looking back at its history, St. Kitts was the first British colony established in the Caribbean (then referred to as the West Indies) in 1623. A visit to one of the remaining historic plantation houses or inns of this era (see ‘Hotels & Resorts’ section) offers one of the most memorable highlights of any Caribbean cruise. There are a number of well-recommended ‘Island Tour’ options for each island (see ‘Taxis / Island Tours’ section): exploring the rainforest interior - either by car or foot - to see the green monkeys, amazing flora and fauna; and the beautifully restored UNESCO World Heritage Site ‘The Brimstone Hill Fortress’ – originally built in the late 1600s by African slaves. Besides the attraction of bringing owners or guests here on charter, with Christophe Harbour Marina now firmly established, St. Kitts & Nevis is increasingly becoming a useful port of call for a couple days. Vessels can re-fuel and undergo some regular maintenance; and owners can keep their crew fresh and happy by giving them some shore leave to explore the islands. There is also the opportunity to indulge in the thrill of kite surfing, or perhaps even a relaxing game of golf St.Kitts & Nevis have two of the Caribbean’s top golf courses (see ‘Sports & Fitness’ section) – with the Four Seasons’ course on Nevis, now easily accessible by water taxi service from Christophe Harbour. Last but not least, a visit to Christophe Harbour’s ‘Salt Plage’ beach bar / lounge and restaurant (in Whitehouse Bay) is not to be missed. Scan here to follow up to date COVID protocols & travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.

Montpelier Plantation and Beach (Nevis) (see also ‘Health / Beauty / Massage’ and ‘Restaurants / Bars & Cafes’ sections) No trip to Nevis would be complete without a trip to this beautiful plantation. Depending on availability, Montpelier Plantation offers special room rates to superyacht crew, upon request. It’s well worth a call for a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience! Nestled amongst the lush hills, the Montpelier Plantation is a sanctuary of breathtaking beauty, far from the stresses of modern life. Here, one can simply arrive, unwind, and become enveloped in the history of this 17th century sugar plantation – meticulously restored to create an environment of subtle elegance and charm, amidst a backdrop of stunning natural beauty. The hotel is managed by resident owners - the Hoffman family - who are committed to giving their guests the very best experiences, with the aid of their kind and attentive staff. Montpelier is elegantly embedded in the surrounding landscape, and at 750 ft above sea level, the air is fresh from the constant Trade Winds. There are 19 luxurious cottage-style guest rooms; each with a private veranda overlooking the ocean beyond. The carefree island is open to discovery at all levels – whether to stroll, hike or climb. The kitchens at Montpelier are dedicated to using local produce to create tastes that are modern and natural, yet outstanding. Nearby to the plantation’s mosaictiled swimming pool is the old sugar mill itself; which yachting guests may pre-book as a completely private dining location for up to 22 people. Early booking for private parties is highly recommended; and, with advance notification, the chef can also cater to all dietary requirements. From 1830hrs each evening, dinner is served at the stunning outside terrace ‘750’ Restaurant – where guests can also enjoy commanding
views of the floodlit gardens, palm trees, the ocean and the distant lights of St. Kitts. Pre-dinner drinks and canapes are served in the atmospheric setting of the Great Room. A 15-minute drive from the Plantation takes you to Montpelier Beach, which is situated within a hidden cove on one of the prettiest stretches of beach in Nevis. Montpelier Beach is available for full day trips, evening beach dining, and has cooking and restroom facilities. On-island support staff are available for full set up or general assistance for the yacht crew for all the beach activities. Montpelier consistently generates enthusiastic feedback. A captain once shared that a couple, who had been guests on one of his charters, had had such a fantastic time there that they booked a honeymoon trip for their daughter as a wedding gift. Other eminent captains have also enthused about taking long weekend escapes to Montpelier with their partners. Credit card details are required on both hotel and restaurant bookings. Get in touch for special rates and discount.

Continuous growth and development has transformed Port Zante into the ideal cruise facility, and in turn has created superb conditions for economic growth in St. Kitts & Nevis.

SUPERYACHT SERVICES GUIDE • MONTSERRAT
Montserrat
A
visit to the ‘Emerald Isle’ of Montserrat is a totally unique experience and one well worth adding to the cruising itinerary. Little Bay is the only port of entry, and whilst there are plans to build a marina here, at present the bay offers a reasonably protected anchorage for visiting yachts. Mooring and anchoring at Isle’s Bay is now possible but clearance must first be granted at the port office in Little Bay. Stepping ashore on Montserrat is like stepping back in time to ‘The Caribbean as it used to be’ and it is hard to believe that this gem of an island is within easy day cruising distance of both Antigua and Guadeloupe. A well recommended company which services the small boat moorings, is on hand to provide a range of yacht services to all visiting yachts (see ‘Yacht Services / Concierge Services’ section in this chapter for more details). Why the Emerald Isle? Where else in the world other than Ireland and the USA, does a country celebrate St. Patrick’s day? – and not just for one day – for the fun loving Montserratians celebrate their 15th century Irish roots by partying for an entire week! (See ‘Shoreside Activities’ section for more information on the festivals). Music too is in the blood of the island… the hills of Salem - home of the ‘Air Studios’ - still echo with the sounds of many a famous 1980’s rock band who recorded here. An island tour is a ‘must’ and there are some highly recommended tour operators to take visitors into the lush rainforests to viewing points overlooking the Soufriere Hills volcano; to the Montserrat Volcano Observatory, to learn a little of the mountain’s history and its future; and then to see the awesome legacy of this force of nature from safe vantage points around the ‘modern-day Pompeii’ - Montserrat's old capital, Plymouth. There are numerous hiking trails for all levels of fitness; and for nature lovers, a multitude of rare and lovely flora and fauna are to be found up in the rainforests, most particularly the national bird of Montserrat - the rare Montserrat Oriole – and there is a highly recommended expert ‘Forest Ranger’ hiking guide, who can actually whistle these birds from the trees! Offshore, the waters abound with over 30 pristine ‘virgin’ dive sites, and the reef snorkeling and free diving is fabulous too – and deep sea fishing was also said to be ‘World Class’. For crew looking for an exciting and ‘once in a lifetime’ getaway location, or for owners and guests wanting a short stay ashore on this special island - Montserrat is just a 20 minute flight from Antigua - and for a short stay, the many intimate guest houses offer high standards of varied accommodations; or for a longer stay of a week or more, fully serviced ocean front villas with pools are available at unbelievably low rates – providing an ideal option for guests looking for a week aboard and a week’s holiday ashore. There really is much to do and see here, and wherever you go, you will be greeted by the truly friendly Montserratians. Scan here to follow up to date COVID protocols & travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.

Antigua
W
hen Lord Nelson first sailed into English Harbour in 1784 on HMS Boreas, he could never have imagined how the view would transform centuries later with 200+ professionally crewed yachts arriving annually at the start of winter season! Beautiful, naturally protected harbours (such as English Harbour) played host to the start of recreational yachting in the 1950s across the Caribbean – with Antigua becoming the region’s prime base for professionally-crewed yachts. Present times now see yachts also based at several other islands; though Antigua still remains the ‘home port’ for many. The island is usually a hub of yachting activity with events such as: the annual Charter Yacht Show (the largest collection of superyachts in the Caribbean) in December; a selection of ‘world renowned’ and exciting regattas; the Superyacht Challenge in January and the RORC in February; and Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta and Sailing Week in April / May – which herald the yachts’ departure for East Coast U.S and Mediterranean waters. With yachting being such an important industry in Antigua for so long, it is no surprise to see the depth and breadth of locally-based services that cater to visiting yachts. Extensive refit works in Antigua are increasingly popular due to expanded services coverage and the island’s efficient geographical proximity around Falmouth Harbour, English Harbour, Jolly Harbour and North Sound Boatyard. A choice of quality project management / refit / repair companies are on hand – boasting major works on some of the largest yachts, with a broad base of technical skills that include: interior joinery, topside repainting, mechanical engineering, new teak decks, marble polishing, welding, lathe work, and even gold-plating of interior fittings. Some of these companies have also executed some of the most respected paint refinishing services throughout the Caribbean – on numerous large and high-profile yacht – over the past few years. Duty-free fuel is available for visiting yachts; the marina facilities in Falmouth Harbour are amongst the best globally (for yachts of any size); and Nelson’s Dockyard continues to see a large number of major yachts ‘home-porting’ there for the season. Antigua Slipway’s haul-out facilities give them the ability to haul yachts up to 200 tons (and up to 140ft LOA); a 150-ton Travelift is available at North Sound Boatyard with smaller 70-ton lifts available at Bailey’s Boatyard and Sammy’s Boatyard (both in Falmouth); and a there is a 75-ton lift at Jolly Harbour Marina Boatyard (see ‘Boatyard / Haul Out’ section for details). When the work is done, Antigua offers a great selection of fun-filled activities for all. Visiting guests / crew members can enjoy: sport-fishing in search of blue marlin; kitesurfing and windsurfing on the North coast; diving on the East coast; a weekend get-away to Barbuda via the high-speed ferry; or galloping along a beach on one of the horses from the Spring Hill Riding Stables. There is a great selection of bars and restaurants for all tastes and occasions. Great crew parties at Abracadabra’s; and a visit to Shirley Heights for a ‘sundowner’ while enjoying an amazing view and live steelpan music, is a ‘must do’ for all! For Antigua & Barbuda, its natural beauty, history and culture still remain their greatest attractions. With a multitude of stunning white and pink sand beaches to explore, Antigua & Barbuda still holds heavyweight allure as an ‘undiscovered’ gem. Scan here to follow up to date COVID protocols & travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.

Jane Finch A long time resident of Antigua and a well informed experienced ‘yachtie’, Jane wrote extremely efficiently, with a deep care and commitment for the services she represented and the Islands she loved so much. Jane took great pride in her work which was one of the qualities we most admired about her professionally. Jane was brutally and fatally attacked in her own home, and died on Monday 4th October 2021 in Antigua. She leaves a huge gap in many of our lives, not only as a work colleague, but as a dear friend. She is very sorely missed and her absence is almost tangible. Through her connections on social media, she kept so many of us up to speed on happenings in Antigua - and sharing the goings on of her daily life with those of us who knew her well and had been frequent visitors to the island ourselves.
Jane was our knowledgeable ‘Research Author’ for The Superyacht Services Guide to the Caribbean’s Antigua & Barbuda chapters, and was writing the 2022 chapter until her tragic death in October.
Jane had a beautiful spirit & strong energy for life and living. She was connected to mother earth, to people, to her treasured pets – especially her little dog Groucho, to her community and friends all around the world, sharing love and peace always. She was the epitome of a peace warrior - always looking for goodness in others and harmony in life.

In tough times, she kept going, standing tall and positive, still giving to others. Born in Canada and raised in Victoria BC, Jane was introduced to sailing in the mid 1970's in Malta, where she sailed throughout the Mediterranean on the beautiful 1936 Fife ketch Eilean. She then crossed the Atlantic to Antigua, where she chartered throughout the Caribbean Island chain as First Mate and Chef on board Eilean for the following 8 years. She moved ashore in Antigua in 1982 and worked at the Antigua Yacht Club for 4 years as Restaurant Manager, until the birth of her son Jareese in 1986. Jane worked for a local newspaper as a journalist, a tour Rep in Cruise Tourism and kept her interest in Yachting alive, being actively involved in various regattas and working with the Antigua Charter Yacht Show for several years, as well as proudly following Jareese’s professional sailing career.
Our heartfelt thoughts go out to Jane's beloved Jareese, her family in Canada and France, her friends around the globe and the close knit community in Antigua. She truly was one of a kind. Caroline Blatter and Karen Pranschke

Due to their excellent trade credibility, they carry out ongoing warranty works for new builds, along with a number of shipyards – including Royal Huisman, Nautor and Oyster. Their reputation for high-quality stainless and aluminium fabrication continues to grow. For these works, they stock a comprehensive quantity of stainless, aluminium, bronze, titanium and bearing plastics. They also carry out custom fabrication – including fixed frame stainless steel Biminis – and are happy to undertake any custom job one might require, including exhaust systems complete with custom lagging and any 'on board' welding (for which they have a portable TIG welder, and carry specific stocks of welding elbows / flanges etc).
MPS also performs well in the field of hydraulics (looking after vangs, cylinders, backstays, steering pumps etc.) and now stocks a good inventory of stainless fittings in both metric and imperial sizes, plus large quantities of Shell Tellus hydraulic oils. Beyond this, MPS will source any other hard-to-find mechanical spares and also offer an oil disposal service. Duty-free oil is supplied and delivered from their bonded warehouse. We have continued to receive consistently good captains’ feedback about MPS over past years: “MPS saved us by fixing our forestay furling the day before the start of the RORC 600… completed the job at 11pm at night!” “We had a serious problem with our main engine, and were under real pressure with Charter guests about to arrive… but MPS were real stars by getting the whole thing back ‘up and running’ – just in time!” “For the past 4 yachts I’ve run, MPS have always provided me with a first class level of service, to the point that we now make Antigua our base for the Caribbean season… in the knowledge of always having them close at hand.” “Great service, on a complete main engine rebuild.” “The company above the rest is Steve Miller’s MPS in Antigua… quite possibly the most efficient company we’ve used in the Caribbean!” Contacts - VHF: Ch.68 Tel: +1(268) 460 1850 Email: steve@mpsantigua.com

Boom Pool Restaurant and Gunpowder Suites, Admiral’s Inn English Harbour Boom, with its poolside seating and spectacular infinity-edged pool overlooking Nelson’s Dockyard, has now become a favourite for yachties, and is well worth a visit. Opened in 2014 as an extension of The Admiral’s Inn, it’s only a 5 minute walk from the marinas in Falmouth and Dockyard, yet feels like a world away.
Crews can pop over for a tasty relaxing lunch or spend the day lounging on daybeds, enjoy a massage at the spa, dip in the pool, sample delectable dishes and sip their favourite cocktails or wine. Boom is also available for private parties and we heard through the grapevine about a few well celebrated events there. We received glowing reviews of the fresh, locally sourced Mediterranean inspired food and infamous cocktails. Open every day from 1200 to 1800 hrs and some nights for dinner – reservations are recommended. For weekend getaways, crews should definitely check out the popular Gunpowder Suites, built around the remodeled 18th Century gunpowder magazine next to Boom. Featuring king-size four-poster beds and modern amenities, these suites offer a serene retreat. So close – yet a world away! Contacts - Tel: +1(268) 460 1027 Website: www.admiralsinnantigua.com

Barbuda
P
lease continue to support Antigua’s beautiful sister island, Barbuda, including this little gem on the yacht’s charter or crew itinerary, as it is one of the last truly undiscovered treasures of the Eastern Caribbean! At 62 square miles in area/15 miles long and 8 miles wide, with stunning pink sandy beaches, this low-lying island (the highest point being only 125 feet above sea level) remains a suitably remote destination. Yet, lying only 27 miles north of Antigua, Barbuda is within easy reach of her ‘sister island’. The anchorages on the south and west coasts are mainly calm – protected by a barrier reef. Most of the 1500 inhabitants live in or around the main town of Codrington – known as ‘the village’ – which is serviced by regular daily flights from Antigua, as well as a high speed ferry service on the Barbuda Express from Antigua. The untouched Codrington Lagoon is not only the home to one of the Caribbean’s largest Frigate Bird colonies but it is also an important breeding ground for the Barbuda lobster. Where else in the world is lobster more often seen on the menu than chicken?! Other hidden secrets include: ancient Amerindian sites and ruins waiting to be explored; one of the rarest small birds in the world (the Barbuda Warbler) to look out for; caves and sink holes to hike to; and a choice of fabulous dive sites – including many exciting wrecks. The Barbudan people are incredibly friendly and welcoming. If you are looking to go for a weekend or for some relaxing time out, low cost guest houses come well recommended for providing a great ‘crew getaway’ option. Explore the island by mountain bike or rental car, take advantage of the calm waters and constant breeze on the 17-mile west coast beach, one of the best venues in the whole Caribbean for kite and windsurfing. Beyond this, there is a selection of recommended and professional tour operators listed, who offer a full range of adaptable tours to suit all ages and requests – including the increasingly popular sport of Bone Fishing, as well as deep sea sport fishing. The Tourist Information Office is located close to the Lagoon Wharf, and its friendly team is headed by Eleanor Thomas (Tel: +1(268) 562 7065/66). Also, check out www.barbudaful.net for a host of useful information ahead of a visit to this beautiful, small island. Footnote: After being hit by the category 5 Hurricane Irma in September 2017, Barbuda is recovering well! Although homes, hotels and businesses were destroyed, the island has been rebuilding, and there is a selection of welcoming services that are open for business the season ahead. Work has begun on Barbuda with Peace, Love, and Happiness (PHL) taking over Coco Point and Palmetto, pursuing large areas of beach front land along the Southern Coast. Nobu Restaurant is a new addition on stunning Princess Dianna Beach – attracting guests for lunch who fly over for the day from Antigua. Barbuda Belle is also a must for lunch or a weekend getaway located at Cedar Tree Point (Northwestern side). There are also lots of little local eateries to enjoy. PLEASE NOTE NOT ALL TELEPHONE NUMBERS ARE BACK WORKING, so try cell phones, email or in person!

SUPERYACHT SERVICES GUIDE • GUADELOUPE
Guadeloupe
T
he island of Guadeloupe is the largest island in the Lesser Antilles, and boasts a lively mix of Creole culture with an interesting blend of modern cities, rural hamlets, rainforests and secluded beaches. Guadeloupe is a ‘taste of France’ in the Caribbean and, as such, has a first class infrastructure, an international airport, good medical facilities, well-maintained roads, superstores and highly professional, experienced services for yachts of all sizes. It is part of a beautiful archipelago – comprised of the magical island group of Les Îsles des Saintes (see page 564) and the unspoilt peaceful island of Marie-Galante (see page 568). Captains and owners, who include Guadeloupe in their cruising itinerary, increasingly praise the varied and diverse attractions that the islands have to offer. The highly respected and professionally-run Marina Bas du Fort makes an excellent stop for: shopping or provisioning (being located close to an out-of-town shopping mall); picking up the owner / guests from the airport – which is just a few minutes away; or for the varied choice of waterfront restaurants within the marina. Close to the capital city of Pointe-a-Pitre, berthing for mega yachts is available in the centre of the city, with a wide choice of top-quality restaurants and first class provisioning / shopping options in the immediate areas. In the heart of Pointe-a-Pitre itself, a 50m floating dock managed by IMM, a highly professional superyacht refit and repair company that provides full superyacht refit services – to European standards. Superstores such as Carrefour for provisioning and general shopping, Decathlon for sports equipment and Mr. Bricolage for hardware - all carrying the same extensive stocks as in mainland France. Port Louis, in the north of the island, has witnessed some superyacht surf activity recently; and the picturesque fishing port of Deshaies – a long time favorite for many visiting yachts - has benefitted from the installation of 80 moorings (30 for large yachts) with a new ‘capitainerie’ planned. These delightful French islands offer an endless choice of exciting activities ashore, all easily accessible with assistance provided by the recommended ‘yacht services’ agents featured in this Guadeloupe chapter. Recently the islands have sparked world-wide interest due to the popular British television show ‘Death in Paradise’ – some of our recommended tour operators can take you and your guests on a tour of all the beautiful sites featured in the TV show! Discover the beautiful diversity of scenery from the large and sometimes secluded white beaches of Grande Terre (a haven for wave, wind and kite surfing) to exploring the dramatic mountain scenery of Basse-Terre. Other energetic adventures can be enjoyed, such as tree canopy zip lining, canyoning, and hiking / diving in the Cousteau Park. At St. Francois, adventure seekers can experience the thrill of free fall parachuting. Additionally, gentle walks to hidden waterfalls, tours of superb botanical gardens and Amerindian sites, and visits to restored sugar plantations and rum factories provide further fascinating historical shore-side attractions. Restricted opening to yachts at time of going to print. Open to vessels coming from Martinique, St Barth’s, St Martin (French side), Guyana or a port located in Europe.

make the most of downtime between charters or to save on fuel costs and travel time by using Guadeloupe as a waypoint before heading through the Panama Canal for Pacific cruising.
IMM brings top-quality refit to the heart of Caribbean, providing options and flexibility for the largest yachts.
“I had always been doubtful as to whether a shipyard period could ever be managed effectively in the Caribbean. IMM certainly answered that question. I cannot speak highly enough of the efficiency, professionalism and expertise that exists within the IMM facility. It matched any shipyard to which I had previously been,” reported the captain of a 50m motor yacht that used the floating docks.
The company was founded in 2007, but IMM’s principals Fabrice Maître and Jean-Michel Beron have been in the yachting industry for over 25 years. Alongside the first-rate project management skills of Norina Edelman, they offer the highest European standard quality in project management across a range of non-traditional locations. IMM’s headquarters in Guadeloupe offers a range of refit and maintenance service. The 700T floating dock is capable of easily hauling out yachts up to 55m LOA. Maitre and his team have a wide experience across a range of complex refit and maintenance projects on superyachts.
With its new partnership with FKG, IMM is also able to provide top-quality rigging from its base in Guadeloupe, which allows pulling of even the largest of masts. IMM has a formidable team, initiating a new era for Caribbean superyacht refit and repair.
As well as being a conveniently located facility for emergency mid-season repairs, IMM’s Guadeloupe operations allow for both economical and timely scheduled maintenance and surveys. Whether it’s to

Les Saintes
L
es Saintes are one of the Caribbean’s hidden treasures. There are no cars on the islands other than a few taxis and fewer scooters now (with the introduction of electric and ‘Eco’ golf buggies), no large buildings or big hotels, no golf course, luxury boutiques, casinos or frenetic night life! Terre de Haut, the main island of Les Saintes, is the only one offering a choice of restaurants and accommodations. The magnificent bay of Le Bourg provides a deep water anchorage for the largest of yachts and comes rated as being one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Indeed, the extraordinary beauty of Les Saintes has attracted many artists whose work can be found exhibited in the art galleries in Le Bourg – the main town of Terre de Haut. Terre de Haut is like a toy village, where everything is beautiful, clean and small. It is a wonderful place to hike or snorkel, and its peaceful quietness is only disturbed a few hours a day by the visiting excursion tourists arriving on day ferries from Guadeloupe and buzzing around the island!

SUPERYACHT SERVICES GUIDE • MARTINIQUE
Martinique
M
artinique is a delightful sliver of France set in the tropics, with a culture of its own – solidly based on West Indian Creole traditions. With no mass tourism and many stunning unspoilt anchorages, captains ‘in the know’ are appreciating Martinique’s little-known secret – ‘beautiful cruising grounds as well as the excellent range of European standard technical assistance available’.
With the Carenantilles boatyard operating a massive 800-ton lift and the Le Marin Yacht Harbour complex providing a host of impressive yacht supply shops, restaurants and bars, the bay area of Le Marin is now well-equipped to service the needs of superyachts, whether cruising or undergoing repairs. We received excellent reports for Douglas Yacht Services for their first class services, which include clearance, technical assistance and complete shoreside support. The Caribbean’s largest sail loft can be found at Artimer in Le Marin along with one of the best rigging / hydraulic and electrical companies in the entire Caribbean – All of which makes Martinique a ‘first choice stop’ for either short or long periods. Yachts can perform Customs / Immigration clearance either by electronic clearance (arranged through Douglas Yacht Services) or through an accredited clearance authority (see ‘Customs & Immigration’ section). A Cruisers net on air three times a week gets you right up to date with everything that is happening in the region and, most importantly, the local weather! (see ‘Weather Forecasts’ for full details.) Martinique is a land of diversity: the entire island is very beautiful, and is perfect for nature and watersports lovers (see ‘Dive Centres’ and ‘Watersports – Kiteboarding / Surfing / Windsurfing’ sections). Additionally, Martinique has a strong European French influence and a rich history – it is where the Empress Josephine (Napoleon’s wife) was born in 1763 (the ruins of her family’s plantation can be visited in Trois Ilets), and where the entire former capital of Martinique, Saint Pierre, was completely destroyed in 1902 by the eruption of Mt. Pelée. The southern part of the island has the best beaches, whilst the north is hilly – with a dense rainforest and rivers. There are some interesting rum distilleries to visit; and south of Fort de France is a highly-developed shopping area, with a big mall and large commercial zone. The rarely cruised East Coast holds a host of fabulous unspoilt hide-away islands and anchorages protected from the Atlantic by a myriad of coral reefs. This ‘waiting to be discovered’ area is accessible to superyachts thanks to the Douglas Yacht Services team who (with their vast local knowledge) can advise captains on the best route to the safest east coast anchorages – You move the boat to a magical anchorage haven whilst they escort the guests on a memorable island tour. The historically fascinating town of St Pierre on the north west of the island is now enticing more large yachts since the introduction of wreck dive buoys and the opening of the fascinating Cultura Bam Museum (see ‘Shoreside Activities’ section). This makes an overnight stop in St Pierre an attractive option for yachts with a dive itinerary or guests who are interested in Caribbean history. On the shopping front, Martinique carries all the same size stores and brands found in France. It is truly one of the best places in the Caribbean to provision or shop for pretty much anything one might need. With DYT Yacht Transport, loading and unloading right in the bay of Le Marin, Martinique is the first stop in the Caribbean for a growing number of superyachts, and makes an ideal first charter of the season pick up point to give guests a great cruising experience! Regarding arrival protocols - contact Douglas Yacht Services for further information on p610.

SAINT LUCIA
SUPERYACHT SERVICES GUIDE • SAINT LUCIA
A few words from the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority… At 13.9094° N, 60.9789° W sits one of the Caribbean’s great treasures, an island touched by the gentle warm waters of the Caribbean Sea and the crisp trade winds of the Atlantic Ocean. Known as the ‘Helen of the West’, Saint Lucia is a gem in the Caribbean Archipelago. From her mountainous interior covered with lush rainforests brimming with endemic wildlife, to deep bays offering luxurious beaches and turquoise clear waters, the island offers luxury, excitement, and adventure wrapped in a creole mystique. Saint Lucia hosts some of the finest mooring facilities and anchorages in the Caribbean, from the laid-back docks of Vieux Fort, Laborie, Soufriere and Ganter’s at Vigie to the picturesque Marigot Bay Resort & Marina, or the contemporary styled IGY Marina in Rodney Bay. Yachtsmen and women can engage in a wealth of activities, sites, attractions, history and cultural experiences. The island, once seven times British and seven times French, mixes its Amerindian and African heritages to produce a deeply diverse cultural experience. With old plantation houses, fort ruins, centuries old brigand trails and estates, rustic fishing villages and a deep passion for the Arts – the emergent culture and history of Saint Lucia can be experienced throughout the Island and at every bay along the west coast.
At the top of the list of the myriad of available activities is horseback riding, zip lining, kite surfing, biking, ATV excursions, golfing and diving. Hike to the top of Gros Piton amidst the World Heritage Site, marvel at the steaming caldera of the Sulphur Springs; slather on skin rejuvenating mud beneath the volcano, challenge yourself to a round of golf, or just unwind in a world class spa. Join the festivities with the weekly Gros Islet Friday Night “Street Party”, Anse la Raye Fish Fry and Saint Lucia’s annual Soleil Festival featuring: Saint Lucia Jazz, Roots & Soul, Saint Lucia Carnival, Food and Rum Country and Blues, Arts and Heritage and the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC). Enjoy fine dining, a dab of local cuisine, or browse through the market to scoop up local produce for the galley. Within this small, sparkling gem of the Caribbean, the possibilities are endless. Let this magnificent island inspire you through its ceaseless wonders. For more information visit: www.stlucia.org

N
otwithstanding its relatively small geographical size (of only 21 x 11 miles at its widest part), Barbados offers a myriad of top class facilities for superyachts, their owners and guests. On the waterfront, Port St. Charles offers dockage for yachts up to 250' LOA; with the further option of three large moorings outside their breakwater (suitable for superyachts in excess of 300 feet). Just to the north of Port St. Charles, the marina development of Port Ferdinand has limited marina dockage for smaller vessels. Further south in Bridgetown, the Carenage has docking for yachts up to 75ft LOA with 9ft draft. On the west coast at Cobbles Cove, Gibbs Bay and Glitter Bay, four large moorings for superyachts are available – which can be booked through one of the local yacht agents. As a yachting arrival hub, vessels of all sizes can continue to receive the highest level of professional shoreside support from the marina services of Port St. Charles (see ‘Marinas & Moorings’ section), together with MC Yacht & Shipping Services (see ‘Yacht Services / Concierge Services’ section). Shoreside itinerary options for both clients and crew include a seemingly unlimited choice of fine dining establishments on the West Coast (see ‘Restaurants / Bars & Cafes’ section); a selection of luxury hotels and resorts; a variety of top class golf courses (see ‘Sports & Fitness’ section); a very active and welcoming Polo circuit; the most prestigious horse racing event in the Eastern Caribbean; some amazing luxury shopping centres such as the Limegrove Lifestyle Centre in Holetown; great scuba diving; ‘internationally acclaimed’ surfing, kiteboarding and windsurfing; and a very interesting choice of ‘island tours’ – which include some exciting historical sites, plantation houses, and even a visit to the subterranean ‘Harrisons Cave’ in the centre of the island (see ‘Shoreside Activities’ section). The Grantley Adams International Airport (GAIA) continues to be a very useful and logistically convenient ‘regional hub’ airport, providing some of the best international commercial flight connections throughout the entire Caribbean. GAIA is also home to the Barbados I.A.M. Jet Centre (see ‘Aircraft Charters / Ground Handling’ section), which continues to provide a superb FBO facility for private jet clients and British Airways premium class passengers. Provisioning and further general goods and services available in Barbados are all renowned for their high standards and courteous delivery. In summary, the consolidated development of the island’s marine services infrastructure, together with good international flight connections, makes Barbados a workable and practical base for yachts, from which to start or end a guest or owner cruise.

St. Vincent
T
he island archipelago of St. Vincent & the Grenadines is centrally located in the Caribbean chain and continues to build upon a serious commitment to the regional development of its marine services infrastructures. On the south coast of mainland St. Vincent, the Blue Lagoon Marina and Yachting Centre (with Customs & Immigration onsite) is an excellent facility. The Sandy Lane Yacht Club Superyacht Marina provides big boat dockage facilities in Canouan alongside a thriving jetport; mainland St. Vincent’s Argyle International Airport (AIA) offers further hub support and international airlift options. As one of the bastions of true Caribbean ‘Tradewind cruising’, St. Vincent & the Grenadines retains a high level of appeal, abounding in crystal blue anchorages, reef-fringed islands, fair winds and friendly seas. St. Vincent, itself, is often described as ‘The Gateway to the Grenadines’, and always makes for a characterful and interesting stopover for any yacht. The island is abundant with natural rugged beauty. From the Soufriere volcano in the north of the island, to the splendour of the Trinity Falls thundering down within the tropical rainforest, there is a lot to see on the mainland – and an island tour comes well recommended. There is also incredible beauty to be found below the water – diving in St. Vincent is said to be some of the best in the Caribbean.
Capital city Kingstown, often called the ‘City of Arches’, is a traditionally natural town – alive with the colour and throng of bustling Caribbean market culture. Everything and everyone blends busily into its historic, colonial-style architecture and shaded courtyards and alleyways; with a simplicity and happiness that is distinctive of St. Vincent’s Caribbean culture. Guests can also take a drive into the countryside to visit the delightful Montreal Gardens (located in the hills above the verdant Mesopotamia Valley) or visit the Botanical Gardens in Kingstown (reportedly the oldest botanical garden in the western hemisphere) – where they still have a plant from the original breadfruit tree brought by Captain William Bligh in 1793! Yacht services and assistance is available from a choice of St. Vincent & the Grenadines providers and there are also some resourceful provisioners available on island. The top rated wine merchant – Gonsalves Liquors – is also on hand in Kingstown to supply yachts of fine vintage wines, including Cristal champagne. After sunset, dinner at a choice of recommended south coast restaurants along the Villa / Ratho Mill stretch includes ‘The French Verandah’ restaurant at the Mariners Hotel, ‘The Deck’ restaurant at Beachcombers or ‘The Loft’ restaurant at the Blue Lagoon Marina & Resort. Scan here to follow up to date COVID protocols & travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.

A few words from the St.Vincent & the Grenadines Tourism Authority… St. Vincent & the Grenadines offers a respite for escapists fleeing the corporate colonization of the soul. A throwback to the Caribbean before mass tourism, this 32-island nation is blessed with unspoiled beauty above and below its pristine waters. Plot your course through tranquil atolls stretching across 40 miles of turquoise waters, exploring islets populated by a handful of palms, seabirds and turtles. St. Vincent & the Grenadines offers an idyllic setting for sailing enthusiasts – from seasoned ‘salty dogs’ to amateur sailors eager to tack to the wind. Drop anchor at remote sandbars for a picnic lunch or moor at one of nine inhabited islands – St. Vincent, Young Island, Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Mayreau, Union Island, Palm Island, and Petit St. Vincent (see respective island chapters for all St. Vincent & the Grenadines locations).
Discover a community rooted in rich maritime history on Bequia, the exclusive celebrity scene on Mustique, the deserted crescent beaches and sleepy hilltop village in Mayreau, and the remote Tobago Cays – a protected wildlife reserve of five islets bordered by a giant horseshoe reef that’s teeming with marine life. The diverse underwater world of St. Vincent & the Grenadines (the critter capital of the Caribbean) also offers something for divers of all levels – from a resort course graduate anxious to get up close and personal with marine critters to an experienced diver aspiring for the next photographic trophy. Divers will enjoy a wide range of sites – including wall, reef, wreck and ‘muck’ dives – and can take their pick from a selection of dive operators offering numerous options for exploring the region’s underwater treasures.

The Cobblestone Inn Bay Street, Kingstown This affordable, small hotel comes well-recommended as a great weekend 'getaway' for crew. Located on Bay Street in Kingstown (overlooking the commercial harbor), this stylish Georgian-period building was originally constructed in 1814 for use as a sugar warehouse. The arches and cobblestone walkways that comprise the hotel form part of an enchanting labyrinth – quite the contrast to the commercial bustle of Bay Street – over which some of the hotel's original second floor rooms preside. The Cobblestone Inn has a total of 26 rooms: 20 standard rooms and six very comfortable suites on the ground floor. All rooms feature air conditioning, TV, telephone, private bathrooms and complimentary high speed Internet. The hotel has a lot of 'Old World' charm and makes for a cool, discreet and affordable haven for quiet weekend getaways or stop-overs for crew and guests alike.
Grenadine House Upper Kingstown Park, Kingstown Up-market hotel choice. Delightfully appointed rooms plus restaurant, bar and pool.
There is a roof-top restaurant / bar on the third floor, serving some of the best lunches in Kingstown.

Bequia
O
f all the islands throughout the Caribbean, Bequia holds a place in the heart of many yachting visitors as their favourite island. Prior to the construction of its airport in Paget Farm – between Friendship Bay and West Cay – Bequia’s only link with the outside world was by the sea. Subsequently, the island developed a self-sufficient and happy population – for whom the sea is interwoven into their daily lives. Bequia has a tradition and heritage of boat building and whaling historically introduced by European fishermen and boat builders. A Scotsman by the name of ‘Wallace’ first introduced the art of whaling to the Bequia people, bringing his skills and hardware down from Nantucket. Although commercial whaling has now been discontinued in Bequia, the islanders retain a strong whaling culture and are licensed to hunt two whales per year from the sea using the traditional small boats and a chosen harpooner from the community. The Ollivierre family, who run the Challenger Taxi and Tours service, forms the descendant line of these historically well-respected harpooners. The old whaling techniques are still used – now only maintained as an annual ritual and fraught with danger for the men. Ultimately, every scrap of the whale is still put to good use within the community. The large anchorage within Admiralty Bay (Port Elizabeth) ensures space for even the largest of superyachts. Yachts up to 160 ft. LOA can also tie up to secure dockage at the Bequia Marina at the head of the bay. Once ashore, there are lots of interesting places to see, and most yachts enjoy stopping here for a day or more to allow their guests to explore the island at the ‘suitably relaxed pace’ that Bequia is so famous for! This includes: visiting the wonderful Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary; the Whale Museum; the unique houses set into the rocks at Moon Hole; a walk along the waterfront through the main town to discover some delightful local shops, hostelries and industrious model boat workshops; and many more delightful distractions that have always made Bequia so charming and memorable. The popular Bequia Music Festival (26th – 30th January 2022) also makes a great diversion for charter guests and owners, as well as crewmembers who just want to relax for a day or two between charters. Scan here to follow up to date COVID protocols & travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.

Southern Grenadines
F
rom Bequia and Mustique in the north down to Petit St. Vincent in the south is just 21 minutes of latitude - yet it contains an area that is still regarded by many yachting visitors as the most ‘prime cruising grounds’ throughout the entire Caribbean. With each island of this archipelago within sight of its predecessor, there are no long passages to travel – just a beautiful range of islands to visit, with each one offering something new and memorable. As part of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) jurisdiction, the Southern Grenadines archipelago offers top-class services for charter and leisure yachts and their guests and crew alike – from the first-class hotels and bars / dining facilities found on Mustique, through to Canouan’s stunning Mandarin Oriental Hotel & Resort, famous Jim Fazio golf course and amazing health spa. Add to this Canouan’s Sandy Lane Yacht Club Superyacht Marina (with a convenient jet port facility alongside it) and one can easily plan an excellent cruising itinerary for the owner or charter guests. The colourful delights of Mayreau and Union Island add more colour and charm to complete the experience: where kiteboarding excursions are now ‘de rigeur’, and the quality of the restaurants, bars and accommodations has improved dramatically over the last few years. This network of islands – with great anchorages, sandy beaches and blue waters – is accessible by daily flights into Union Island airport and Canouan’s jet port, directly from Grenada, Barbados and St. Lucia. There are also excellent direct international connections to mainland St. Vincent’s Argyle International Airport – where SVG Air can then transfer guests down to each island, accordingly. Yachts clear in and out – once only – within the Grenadines archipelago, and there are professional yacht agents at hand throughout all the islands, who can arrange your clearances and provide logistical support for the entire duration of your stay. Scan here to follow up to date COVID protocols & travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.

Mayreau (SVG)
M
ayreau has one of the most attractive anchorages in the island chain at Salt Whistle Bay. With fairly limited space and the usual proliferation of smaller yachts, larger yachts will often have to anchor at the back of the bay, but it still makes for a wonderful overnight stop that guests always enjoy. A functional alternative is to anchor in Saline Bay and explore Mayreau by tender or by taking a short walk or taxi ride along its one and only main road. This really is a delightfully small and charismatic island and a great kiteboarding location.

Erika’s network can handle your needs throughout – allowing you to concentrate on your yacht and guests.

MOPION (SVG) Miniature Desert Island
HOTELS & RESORTS Palm Island Resort Palm Island is best used as a day anchorage for large yachts or as a functional temporary anchorage for yachts that are stopping in at Clifton (Union Island) to clear in or out of SVG waters. The ‘picture perfect’ Casuarina Beach, located on the western shores of the island, is always a great hit with guests. On a cautionary note, however, this is a private island and it is necessary to phone the management of the resort to discuss any possibilities of exploring beyond the beach before arranging to put guests ashore.
We received great feedback for this fun islet – just off PSV – It makes a great venue for playing sundowner games of boules. One enthusiastic captain suggested the following: “Try an early morning pre-breakfast swim or snorkel before the crowds… and, with a glass of Bucks Fizz, just sit in the water.” This unusual little gem adds variety and great holiday memories for guests. Tender crew can benefit from a dry run through the tricky channel entrance through the reef before carrying the guests in.

SUPERYACHT SERVICES GUIDE • CARRIACOU & PETITE MARTINIQUE
Carriacou & Petite Martinique
C
arriacou is an island steeped in history and tradition. Having originally been inhabited by Amerindians, more contemporary epochs saw the island develop as a plantation economy. Carriacou has a famous boat building tradition which was first introduced to the island by Scottish immigrants and can still be seen first-hand in the industrious enclaves of Windward and Harvey Vale on the east coast. Indeed, Carriacou is still a great focal point for traditional boat building, having popularized the traditional ‘Carriacou sloop’ working boat designs and also the time-served classes of traditional wooden schooners and cargo vessels in the Grenadines region. The annual Carriacou regatta, usually held annually at the end of July, is steeped in competitive history, paying homage to the island’s ‘state-of-the-art’ traditional boat building pedigree. It is also a fun event, which attracts many traditional and modern yachts – and even more colourful characters! As a working facility for many commercial and recreational boats, Carriacou Marine and the Tyrell Bay Boatyard and Marina in Tyrell Bay continue to upgrade their service capabilities and facilities with a 40-ton Travelift onsite at Carriacou Marine, and a 150-ton Travelift in service at the Tyrell Bay Boatyard. As a result, Carriacou can now haul and handle larger yachts and offer some very useful engineering and repair solutions. Customs / Immigration services and fuel dock are also on hand at Carriacou Marine. As part of mainland Grenada, goods and spares can be transferred daily from there, using the Osprey high speed ferry. For everyday needs, handy provisioning can be found in Hillsborough at Patty’s Deli and Alexis Supermarket in Tyrell Bay and for those needing shoreside transportation or an island tour, Linky Taxi comes highly recommended as a reliable contact, who has a great knowledge of the island. Excellent diving can also be experienced in Carriacou’s surrounding waters – just give ‘Deefer Diving’ a call. For beachfront accommodations and crew getaways, the Mermaid Hotel in Hillsborough is also recommended. All in all, Carriacou still retains a magical discretion of privacy, along with its reassuringly delightful resistance to the fast pace and stresses of modern day life. Carriacou can make for a thoroughly enjoyable visit, and a great change of focus and scenery whilst on charter! Petite Martinique As part of the satellite of Grenadian jurisdiction, this small fishing and trading outpost enjoys a laissez faire existence. On PM (as it is affectionately referred to by locals), many residents are more than pleased to welcome you to their charismatic ‘stress free’ way of life. A quick tour of the village and its surroundings is recommended, whilst the yacht is bunkering diesel at the B & C Fuel Dock or anchored over at Petit St. Vincent (just across the water). Scan here to follow up to date COVID protocols & travel requirements by air and sea for each Caribbean Island.

The craftsmen who still build traditional wooden working boats and regatta sloops using local white cedar timbers continue to represent the true passion of traditional Caribbean sea-farers. Alwin Enoe is one of Windward’s most prolific boat-builders, and he has built and launched some of the most successful boats in recent times. The Carriacou Regatta - in its glory days - was one of the original and most prestigious of the Caribbean regatta events. It has nurtured a breed of boat builders who have, by default, modified and improved a continuing genesis of their working boat designs to produce some fine and powerfully fast contemporary sloops (by traditional wooden boat standards). Any island tour should include a visit to this area, and your guide will be able to tell you which boats are currently under construction.

Linky Taxi This transportation service, run by Lincoln Bedeau, comes enthusiastically recommended by numerous yachts over the years for his island tours and airport transfer services. One captain particularly recommends 'Linky', explaining how he always looks after them very well, "…offering a reliable and punctual service". Linky can accommodate larger parties and has multiple vehicles available. He also offers jeep rentals, though his key focus is with his more personal services – offering interesting and informative historical and cultural tours of the island. The windward side is quite picturesque and offers great seaward views. Traditional boatbuilding still exists at Windward and Harvey Vale, and Linky will also talk you through much of the local folklore and traditions of this very laid back island community. So, whether one needs an island tour or an airport pick-up or guest transfer, Linky is the man to call!

Petite Martinique
A
s part of the satellite of Grenadian jurisdiction, this small fishing and trading outpost enjoys a ‘laissez faire’ existence. On PM (as it is affectionately referred to by locals), many residents are more than pleased to welcome you to their charismatic ‘stress free’ way of life. A quick tour of the village and its surroundings is recommended, whilst the yacht is bunkering diesel at the B & C Fuel Dock or anchored over at Petit St. Vincent (just across the water). Provisioning of crew wines and spirits comes recommended at the supermarkets, as prices are especially competitive on these products. Any one of a selection of friendly local café / bar outlets will freshly prepare tasty seasoned local fish for the meandering passer-by; and the whole experience, including the views outwards to the other islands, is exceptionally stress relieving and therapeutic. The definitive health benefits of life in PM can, perhaps, be best understood by respectfully observing the headstones in the cemetery – residents often live to grand old ages and there is no shortage of centenarians who have woven their lives on and around this charming island.

With the airport just five miles away providing excellent regional and international connections, the marina is the perfect base for exploring the nearby waters of the Grenadines (justly renowned as one of the finest and most beautiful cruising grounds in the world). The “Spice Island”, as Grenada is known, lies south of the main hurricane belt close to 12 degrees north, making it a popular destination for yachts during the Caribbean summer months, with the August Carnival being a particular draw. Berths are available for short-term as well as annual rental, and a limited number of Superyacht berths are also available for purchase on a 25-year license. With all this, it’s easy to see why Grenada continues to emerge as one of the southern Caribbean’s true yachting destinations.

obago, the sister island of Trinidad, offers spectacular diving amongst rich and colorful reefs with over 250 species of Atlantic coral and hundreds of fish. Ashore, Tobago has phenomenal birdwatching (with over 200 species on this small island), two championship 18-hole golf courses with palm tree lined fairways, picture perfect beaches and the oldest protected rainforest in the Western Hemisphere (the 1,000 year old ‘Main Ridge Forest Reserve’). Tobago is most developed in the south-west or Lowlands area of the island - especially the unique capital of Scarborough and the ANR Robinson Airport which is located conveniently close to the main yachting anchorages of Pigeon Point and Store Bay for guest pick-ups. The Northern Caribbean coast brings with it the beautiful coral sandy beaches of Castara – plus workable anchorages at Englishman’s Bay, Parlatuvier and Bloody Bay. Most northerly is Charlotteville, which like Speyside, has amazing coral reefs within swimming distance of the beaches, making it ideal for diving and snorkeling. The beautiful Pirates Bay is also ideal for a private barbecue on its one-mile stretch of beach (accessible only by tender). About one and a half miles out to sea from Speyside is Little Tobago – an uninhabited seabird sanctuary. Facing Little Tobago is the favorite Batteaux Bay, home to over a dozen giant Atlantic Mantas, dolphins and turtles.

The ABC Islands – Aruba, Bonaire & Curaçao
T
he ABC islands consist of Aruba, Bonaire & Curacao, and are all located in the Southern Caribbean off the coast of Venezuela. They collectively form an archipelago of islands that are part of the ‘Netherlands Antilles’, with Curacao as the largest island, serving as the ‘seat of governance’ and also playing host to the largest concentration of yachting facilities of the three islands. Curacao has a very good reputation for its ability to offer resourceful technical services to yachts of all sizes, and with plans underway to extend the berthing facilities at the Curacao Marine Boatyard and Marina, this location is set to become an important ‘below the hurricane zone’ refit, repair and dry storage centre in the Southern Caribbean. Larger yachts can also book in for dry dockage in Parera, also through the recommended contacts at the Curacao Marine Boatyard. Superyachts can find further good berthing options in locations at Willemstad on the waterfront and Spanish Water at Seru Boca Marina or the Santa Barbara Beach Marina. Large yachts (up to 200ft LOA) in Bonaire can find good berthing at Harbour Village marina and likewise, in Aruba the Windcreek marina can also accommodate superyachts. The ABC’s ultimately offer a choice of perfect ‘stepping stone’ destinations and safe havens for yachts passaging west, east or even to the north… linking up routes and itineraries for yachts ‘on the move’ to and from the Panama Canal and the Eastern Caribbean.

olombia’s location in the southern Caribbean offers a strategic “Stepping stone” between Panama (to the west) and the ABC islands (to the east).
Cartagena is considered the main yachting centre for visitors to Colombia. Its historic colonial walled city (Cartagena de Indias) is a beautiful and magical place to discover. Established in 1533, it is now recognized as a UNESCO World Culture Heritage Centre. The Club De Pesca Marina, located just across the bridge from the colonial city centre, is extremely well recommended as your “go to” choice for secure dockage with excellent yacht services and centralized shoreside support on hand. In addition to being one the most biodiverse countries on the planet, Colombia also offers a multitude of wonderful shoreside attractions including pre-Columbian lost cities, Colonial Spanish fortresses, world class cycling, great diving, inland hiking adventures and nature tours (see www.superyachtservicesguide.com for full online listings of all of the Colombia service recommendations). The Yacht Agency company, Logimar SAS, is partnered with Club De Pesca Marina to provide streamlined clearing-in services and their agents come extremely well recommended - ensuring that your Cartagena itinerary through Club De Pesca Marina is a memorable success.
