Port Louis Marina

Getting here

- By Air – Grenada has the closest international airport to the cruising grounds of the Grenadines, making Port Louis Marina one of the most ideally located marinas in the Caribbean.

Maurice Bishop International Airport is only five miles away and has direct flights from a number of major cities including London, Miami, Atlanta, Toronto, Frankfurt and New York – and offers easy connections via Barbados, Antigua, St Lucia and Trinidad.

- By Sea – The approach to Port Louis Marina and St George’s is straightforward in all weather. The buoyed marina fairway is illuminated and easy to identify and navigate – day and night.

Always remember: Grenada uses the American system (‘Red Right Returning’) with red buoys marking the starboard side of the channel on your arrival. On approach to the marina, call the Capitainerie on Channel 14 for instruction on your marina slip.

Please pay special attention to commercial traffic when entering or leaving Port Louis Marina, especially along the Carenage waterfront in St George’s itself.

Port regulations stipulate that all vessels of 200 gross tons and above must have a pilot from Grenada Ports Authority aboard on entering and leaving the Port of St. George’s. Pilots require 24 hours’ notice in advance of the vessel’s arrival and three hours in advance of the vessel’s departure.

Regulations – Yachts arriving from outside Grenada or Carriacou need to clear in with Customs and Immigration at a Port of Entry – Tyrell Bay and Port Louis Marina being the two favoured options.

Inward clearance must be completed by the captain before any crew member lands. Four copies of the crew list/clearance form are required, which can be completed in advance. Grenada operates the SailClear advance web notification service, enabling you to submit them online prior to arrival.

Outward clearance is also required from Grenada to ensure inward clearance in the next country to be visited. Yachts should depart within 24 hours of clearing out.
