The Government of Grenada has approved a plan to facilitate the entry of yachts into the tri-island state to protect them during the hurricane season, which, in turn, will also give our yachting sector a much needed economic boost, as it does annually.

The yachts will have to meet a number of requirements and follow strict health and security protocols, including a quarantine period of 14 days offshore before being allowed entry into the approved boatyards and marinas.

The Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation and the Grenada Tourism Authority coordinated a series of meetings and consultations with various stakeholders, to arrive at the safest and most effective-procedure for all concerned.
