General Info
Thefts from yachts at anchor in this part of the Caribbean (in some cases armed robbery) have increased over recent years and unfortunately, are still prevalent. Current advice is to be extra vigilant with security measures in Tobago Cays, Canouan, and Mayreau. Dinghy thieves operate throughout the Caribbean and the best advice is to place your dinghy on deck and chain it overnight. Be sure to chain it at all times when ashore with a heavy duty chain.
Mayreau Harbor Patrol (MHP) patrols the harbors of Mayreau in an effort to make the area safe, especially at night. As this is a non-governmental organization and non-profit group, funded partly by Tobago Cays Marine Park and the four constables who carry out the patrols, the hours of operation depend largely on time and fuel available. The group is always looking for more sponsors and volunteers.
For more information contact MHP on telephone number 17844975322.
For any emergencies between Mayreau and the Tobago Cays telephone 17845302752/17844952380 or 17845278412.
Check the Piracy & Security pages and the Caribbean Safety Net for information on the current situation.
