Chateaubelair - Clearance
See St. Vincent Formalities and Fees for full details on clearance.
After a period of renovation, Customs and Immigration re-opened here on 21 November, 2023.
Opening days and hours for Customs and Immigration vary from month to month. It is recommended to call in advance to check times:
Contact +1 784 527 6398.
January 2024 they are: 16:00 to 18:00 on Tuesdays, 08:30 to 18:00 Wednesday to Sunday. Closed Mondays.
Arrive with plenty of time to complete clearance so your time slot doesn’t over run into overtime, which is charged.
Clearance after hours incurs an extra charge.
Note that Cumberland Bay is only for anchorage after checking in with Customs. Yachts going directly to Cumberland Bay to avoid clearance fees can be fined.
The next closest option for international clearance is Waliabou to the south (closed Monday and Tuesday).

HI, is it considered safe (with precautions) to Anchorage over night? We´ve seen fellow cruisers recommend this bay recently. Best regards Beate & Colin
Please see our recommendationsn for overnighting in this bay based on past history – https://www.noonsite.com/place/st-vincent-the-grenadines/st-vincent/chateaubelair/view/docking/. To get a feel for how the current land lies, why not visit for the day and talk to other cruisers anchored there. Based on their feedback you can decide if you feel comfortable anchoring there overnight. Please do post feedback here so that those following in your wake can better understand the current situation in Chateaubelair. Thankyou.
Please confirm if this is still a port of entry or exit. A review on Navionics says this office is closed.
Hi John and Karen, last cruising season it was open. As it’s now “off Season” it may be that it’s closed. I’ve emailed to find out the latest details. Will post here when we get an answer.
Yes, Customs and Immigration were closed for renovation in Chateaubelair – offices re-opened on the 21st November 2023.
