Daffodil Marine Services (fuel, water, laundry)

13° 0.7′ N · 61° 14.7′ W · approximate

Bequia's floating service station: Daffodil's big yellow boats come alongside anywhere in Admiralty Bay with diesel, water and ice, and take your laundry and garbage away. The business also runs the Open Deck bar and restaurant at its base on the north shore.

Practical

Position from the OpenStreetMap 'Open Deck Restaurant/Bar/Laundry/Water/Diesel' node in Hamilton (approx). Call on VHF 67 (Antilles Guide directory) or VHF 16 (older reports); Noonsite lists the business phone. Services per Noonsite: water barge comes to boats at anchor, diesel and outboard fuel, ice, laundry and garbage. Cruiser prices (verify locally): 450 litres of water for EC$200 (2019); three big laundry loads returned next day for EC$75 and garbage EC$5 (2017). Fenders out: the boat is heavy, and the skipper hands you separate fuel and water hoses - check which is which before filling.
