Explore: Blue Lagoon
General Info
COVID-19:
- For yachting entry protocols during the Pandemic see SVG Biosecurity.
ALERT: La Soufrière volanco on the northern end of St. Vincent erupted on Friday April 9, 2021. 16,000 people had to be evacuated and falling ash was felt on all neighbouring islands. See this news report for the details and updates, plus how you can help.
Description:
Blue Lagoon is surrounded by palm trees and this area, with its lovely beach, provides a very pleasant anchorage. The marina and hotel were completely refurbished during 2014.
Entrance Notes or Cautions:
When arriving in St. Vincent, Blue Lagoon, there are two channels to choose from:
- The lit marked channel to Blue Lagoon Bay has a depth of 2.5-2.8m. The sea bed is soft sand. This is the only choice for a night entry. For those yachts affected by draft restrictions, or those not wishing to make an entrance during the hours of darkness, there are a number of moorings close by suitable for waiting before entering.
- A deeper channel (south or reef channel) does exist, however, this should only be used during daylight as it is very narrow. A local pilot is recommended and this can be arranged via the marina office at US$20 per passage per yacht. The passage through the reef is done at the owner’s risk and the marina accepts no responsibility for pilotage.
At night or in difficult conditions, there is plenty of room to anchor outside the marina and there are mooring buoys not far away. The maximum length here is 80 feet, and boats of that size will need pilot assistance.

Docking
This bay offers excellent shelter.
Anchoring
There is plenty of anchoring space in the bay and the marina dinghy dock is free of charge with security.
Marina
Moorings are sometimes available at the marina. Marina dockage fees do not include water or electricity – both are available on most berths (electricity charged at a daily rate and metered water).
Longer term dockage can be arranged at a discounted rate through the hotelmarina reception.
Security
Dinghy, accessory thefts (fuel tank etc.) and security issues continue here. Be sure to secure all your valuables as you would anywhere in the world and lift and lock your dinghy at night.
Ashore
There is a bus stop just outside the marina entrance with buses into Kingstown ($2EC any journey). Here there is an excellent Saturday morning market.
