 Kingston : Profile
Yachts can contact Morgan's Harbour or the Royal Jamaica Yacht Club on Channel 16 and request permission to come alongside. Both these clubs are located in the Port Royal area. Arrangements can then be made to clear in at either club.
There are two marinas in the Kingston area and both have reasonable facilities, being used mainly by locally owned boats.
The Royal Jamaica Yacht Club maintains a marina-type facility about 12 miles from Kingston where visitors belonging to reputable clubs are always welcome.
Morgan's Harbour Club at Port Royal has similar docking facilities, as well as fuel and water.
A few miles from the entrance is Lime Cay. This is a very safe, anchorage, used by many of the local yachtsmen. It is backed by a white sandy beach.
