 Providenciales : Profile
Boats anchored at Sapodilla Bay can clear in at the nearby commercial dock, where there is a Customs office.
Most cruising boats anchor in Sapodilla Bay. This is a shallow anchorage so attention should be paid to the state of the tide.
The main town of Provo is quite far and spread out. It is best reached by taxi (can be ordered on channel 68) or rental car (there are several firms that will deliver a car to Sapodilla Bay if contacted by telephone).
Sapodilla Bay is close to the international airport and probably the best place for crew changes.
There also several marinas; Turtle Cove, Leeward and South Side Basin. Caicos Boatyard also has limited docking.
