A haul-out and storage yard below Brimstone Hill on the northwest coast, with a 164-ton travel lift, DIY-friendly rules and keel holes cut into the slope for hurricane-season storage - one of the cheapest yards in the eastern Caribbean, by one owner's account.
Practical
164-ton travel lift; max beam 35 ft and length 120 ft (skmw.net); can haul 60 ft catamarans. Book a week ahead by WhatsApp/phone +1 869 667 8930, VHF 16. On arrival go inside the breakwater (room for about 4-5 boats) or anchor just outside - noforeignland users warn of strong current and large rocks at the entrance. Storage boats sit well separated in keel holes above sea level; many owners leave boats strapped down for hurricane season. Customs, immigration and health are on site (office closes 4pm). DIY or professional work; 24-hour security. Minibuses every few minutes to Basseterre (about US$1) and Sandy Point; taxi about US$15 to town (2023). Shower and Wi-Fi near the office; an Airbnb and a hotel next to the yard. Technical services on island are limited - Budget Marine and Indigo Yachts in Basseterre for parts.
