Port Louis Marina, Grenada
Camper & Nicholsons' Port Louis marina is a truly year-round destination, lying outside of the hurricane belt at close to 12 degrees north. 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 - renowned as one of the finest and most beautiful cruising grounds in the world.
Port Louis Marina is located in the lagoon, on the outskirts of the capital city St. George's, overlooking the Carenage. Owned and operated by Camper & Nicholsons Marinas, one of the world’s most respected yachting brands, the marina has 160 berths for yachts up to 300 feet.
Facilities include fresh water, electricity, broadband internet, cable TV, shower and laundry, grey and black water discharge and refuse disposal. 24 hour CCTV and night security staff are also in operation.
Ashore, the marina village is home to the Victory Bar & Grill, run by Uli Kuhn (one of the island’s premier restaurateurs), as well as a sail-maker, boat maintenance and provisioning services, and shops for leisurewear and crafts.
Trained and professional marina staff are on hand to make sure both visitors and resident yacht owners enjoy their time to the full, whether afloat or ashore.
Air Access: 5 miles to Maurice Bishop International Airport - international connections to Miami, New York, Toronto, Frankfurt & London and other Caribbean Islands.
The Approach
The approach is easy with few hazards and is well marked and lit. Call ahead on VHF CHN 14 for information as to berthing or new hazards. Commercial traffic also use the port. Bear in mind that Grenada uses the American system of buoyage so red buoys mark the starboard side of the channel on arrival.
The Entrance
The marina entrance is wide and straightforward. The Port office is at the root of Pier "A"
The Marina is protected from any swell in a natural lagoon on the lee side of the island, and it is said to be the calmest harbour in Grenada. It is also a recognised hurricane hole, for those wishing to visit or stay outside the main sailing season.
