Canouan is an official port of entry for St Vincent and the Grenadines, with offices at the ferry port in Charlestown and at the airport next to Sandy Lane Yacht Club.
Practical
Charlestown ferry-port office (position is the immigration building mapped in OpenStreetMap): Noonsite (May 2025) lists Monday to Saturday 8:30 am to 6 pm and Sunday 9 am to 12 noon, but cruisers report it closed on Sundays (Dec 2024, Nov 2023); officials may have to come from the airport. Tel +1 784 456 1111 ext 6269. Airport office beside Sandy Lane Yacht Club: open daily 7:30 am to 7:30 pm, tel +1 784 482 0078, and the marina shuttle runs you there. Doyle (2025) says customs and immigration are back in their original location in town after Hurricane Beryl. A 2020 cruiser report paid US$45 (EC$116.25) at customs; verify locally. SVG Yacht Services can act as agent.
