Based on reports to Noonsite from cruisers, petty theft from yachts is on the rise in the Caribbean in general. Cruisers should take basic safety precautions and use common sense when leaving the boat or going ashore at night.
Dinghy thieves operate throughout the Caribbean and the best advice is to place your dinghy on deck and chain it overnight. Always chain your dinghy when securing it ashore and be sure to not leave anything of value loose in the dinghy.
It is also advisable to lock your vessel at night while asleep and do not leave anything of value within easy reach of would-be thieves. In the following incidents reported to CSSN, thieves were deterred from a vessel that was securely locked, but in another incident, a catamaran left unlocked while the owners slept was boarded by thieves and a number of items stolen.
For information on other incidents see security reports for St. Kitts and Nevis.
The Caribbean Safety and Security Net provide information by anchorage or by the island. If you experience a boarding, robbery or attack on your yacht or have information about a yachting-related security incident, go to the CSSN homepage and click on the “Report an Incident” icon.
