Where is Charlestown?

Nevis is the smaller of the two islands comprising the nation of St. Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean. It is known for sandy beaches and pristine dive sites which are home to an array of marine life including sea turtles and stingrays.  Charlestown lies on the western coast, at the southern end of Pinney’s Beach and is the capital of the island.

Cruiser Highlights for Charlestown:

There are many 18th and 19th century Georgian-style buildings in Charlestown and the lack of modernization means the town is one of the best remaining examples of the colonial era in the Caribbean.

    Nevis immigration

    How to do. Front of dinghy pier. Go to Building right-hand side and 1st floor.

    Go to.

    1- customs – and pay 30 EC

    2- immigration – but beforehand fill in the arrival document at https://caricomeapis.org/

    3- port authorities – and pay 136 EC

    4- customs again to finish

    There is a free bus into town in front of the 4 seasons hotel.

    Nevis Moorings – safety check reminder

    When checking into Charleston, Nevis, the Air and Seaport Authority collects several fees, including one for mooring usage, regardless of whether you utilize their moorings or anchor.

    A recent visitor reports that he picked up a mooring with a new looking pennant, but that when he dove to check it, he found the underwater section badly worn, with barely a thread remaining.

    He dove several others and did find they seemed to be in good order. The captain sent an email to Sea and Ports but received no response.
