Converters and adapters are required for 220V visitors.

Fuel

Marinas in the Turks and Caicos typically provide either ultra-low sulfur diesel or low sulfur diesel, depending on the site. Gasoline or petrol is typically ethanol-free in the larger marinas while smaller sites may only have typical automotive gasoline, which could contain ethanol.

Fuel is usually clean and of a high quality at marinas in the TCI.

Fuel berths available at:

South Bank Marina (Providenciales), Turtle Cove Marina (Providenciales), Heaving Down Rock Marina – Walkin Marina (Providenciales), Seaview Marina (Cockburn Harbour, South Caicos), Blue Haven Marina (Leeward, Providenciales), South Side Marina (Providenciales).

Repairs/Marine Supplies

Some repairs at Windward Marina (Ambergris Cay)

At Cockburn Town, Grand Turk, MPL Enterprises have some marine supplies and spare parts and they also undertake engine repairs.

At Providenciales is the Southbank Marina and Boatyard, formerly the Caicos Marina and Shipyard. They can do haulouts and have made extensive renovations to the marina. Most repairs can be found in the town. There is a well-stocked marine store also.

Anchoring:

All vessels greater than 60 feet (18 m) in length will require an Anchoring Permit, which is valid for 30 days and can be obtained from the Department of Environment and Maritime Affairs (DEMA) and some of the larger marinas.

For larger vessels with drafts above 8 feet (2.5 m), the choice is a bit more limited to permanent moorings off Grace Bay and the Bight Beach, off Parrot Cay, and off Malcolm’s Road Beach near Amanyara Resort.

      Hi Christopher, there doesn’t look to be any recent comments posted by cruisers visiting T&C, but our formalities info. was updated this time last year. I have just got in touch with the authorities there to check for any changes in procedures and fees and will advise when I get a reply. I’ve not heard of anything in the last 12 months, so it’s likely all is still the same – see https://www.noonsite.com/place/turks-caicos/view/clearance/.

    Just a quick update on clearing in at Sapodilla Bay. The customs office at the South Dock is not accessible by boat or dinghy as it is located in a working dockyard. You can however beach your dinghy at the access path between resort properties and walk to the main road and take a right and a right again to get to the yard. You will be given hardhat and vest and directed to office. Clearance was very easy otherwise. Note that the office does not have any idea what Sailclear is at this point, nor do they take credit cards. Optionally, they suggested that it may be easier for cruisers to head to South Side Marina to check in and then find anchorage once cleared. Sapodilla Bay is not within walking distance to any amenities or services but the holding was good in 10 feet of water with protection from North and East.
