Restrictions for Yachts in Grenada

Public nudity in Grenada is against the law. Local residents are concerned about nudity on yachts anchored close to the shore and cruisers are asked to respect the rules of Grenada society and keep their clothes on.

Yachts may not anchor in front of the hotels at the south end of Grand Anse Beach.

The removal of corals from the sea, wildlife from the forest or any national park, and rivers and debarking of trees is strictly prohibited.

Lobster and spearfishing are prohibited without a license, which is issued only to Grenadians. Lobster should only be bought in season (31 October to 30 April).

It is prohibited to pump bilge or waste into the water, and marine toilets may not be used within 200 meters of the beaches. There are toilets ashore at both marinas and the yacht clubs.

Yachts are urged to observe the 1.5 km exclusion zone around the undersea volcano Kick 'Em Jenny, located west of Isle de Ronde off Grenada's northwest coast (12.18°N 61.38°W).

The volcano continues to pose a threat to vessels. During an eruption an exclusion zone of 5 km is enforced, ie all vessels should stay at least 10km west of Isle de Ronde. More details are available at the Seismic Unit's webpage dedicated to cruising information. http://uwiseismic.com/General.aspx?id=17
