The website says there is an on-site Customs and Immigration office where you can also buy the cruising and fishing permit, technicians who service boats left at the dock, and a chandlery that delivers spares, ice, wine and beer to your boat. The Galley (phone 242-373-2628) offers free docking to restaurant patrons; bar Tuesday to Friday 3 pm to 10 pm, Saturday noon to 10 pm, Sunday 11 am to 9 pm.
