Bequia Outboard and Diesel Mechanics
13° 0.7′ N · 61° 14.3′ W · approximate
Admiralty Bay has a handful of mechanics who come out to the boat for outboard, diesel, electrical and refrigeration problems, making Bequia the best repair stop between St Lucia and Grenada.
Practical
Position is a placeholder on the Port Elizabeth waterfront (approx) - mechanics usually come to the boat; call on VHF 68. Kerry's Marine Services (KMS, VHF 68): diesel and outboard repair, welding, electrical and refrigeration, and moorings (Noonsite business directory); a 2024 Noonsite comment says Kerry towed a disabled yacht to a mooring and fixed the engine. Older Antilles Guide listings: Vitton's Marine Services (Main Road, Port Elizabeth: outboard repairs and batteries), Simpson Engineering (outboards, diesel, alternators; VHF 68) and Grenadines Yacht & Equipment (chandlery with mechanics; VHF 16) - confirm they still trade. A cruiser log reports an outboard water-pump impeller replaced for about US$60 (undated; verify locally). Bequia Marina lists haul-out to about 55 ft / 13 tons with refinishing services planned (marinas.com, 2023 update; confirm status). Parts: Magville Auto & Marine Supplies and the Front Street chandleries (see Port Elizabeth Chandleries and Sail Lofts).
