Royal Jamaica Yacht Club Haul-out (railway & hoist)

17° 56.7′ N · 76° 46.3′ W

Kingston's only yacht haul-out option: a small marine railway and hoist at the Royal Jamaica Yacht Club, good for modest repairs and bottom jobs on smaller boats.

Practical

Position is the club (OpenStreetMap). Virgintino (2015): a variety of repairs can be made at the club, with a small marine railway and a marine hoist. Wikivoyage lists a 3-ton crane. Noonsite says the boatyards at Port Antonio and the Royal Jamaica Yacht Club have haul-out facilities. Capacity is limited - for a full haul of a larger boat use Errol Flynn Marina's 100-ton travel lift in Port Antonio. No dedicated yacht chandlery in Kingston was confirmed; commercial ship chandlers serve Kingston port, so ask the club manager for current suppliers and mechanics.
