Ocho Rios Marina Basin & Fuel (no yacht marina)

18° 24.5′ N · 77° 6.6′ W

Ocho Rios has no visitor marina or confirmed yacht fuel dock: the small 'marina basin' beside the cruise terminal is packed with local boats, and fuel means jerry cans from a roadside station or a run to Port Antonio or Montego Bay.

Practical

Position is the basin OpenStreetMap labels 'Yacht Harbour Marina' (Turtle Beach Road), next to the Port Authority cruise ship terminal at 18.40883N, 077.11045W (OSM). Virgintino (2015): the marina basin to starboard is close quarters with local boats berthed; it has long been promised as a marina but nothing has changed; he recommends leaving Ocho Rios to the cruise ships. The guide lists no fuel dock here. Nearest confirmed fuel alongside: Errol Flynn Marina, Port Antonio (about 40 nm east, straight line) and Montego Bay Yacht Club (about 47 nm west). Hospital: St. Ann's Bay Hospital, about 11 km west (straight line). Ocho Rios is a port of entry - see the Ocho Rios anchorage entry.
