Chaguaramas Bay has changed a lot since the days of being an American Military Base during World War Two. It now has one of the finest collection of marine services and skilled workers to be found anywhere in the Caribbean. There is very little that cannot be found, fabricated, or repaired here. All with the unique Trini style.
Yacht Yards and/or Marinas
The Yards and Marinas are the heart of the yacht service industry in Chaguaramas. Taken together they are able to haul/launch two dozen boats in a day from the smallest sailboat to major power yachts.
There are a number of great marinas in Chaguaramas, including a number of docks available at the Yacht Yards and a few smaller marinas. Dock space is limited in Trinidad, so cruisers must compete with many of the local boaters. However, with early reservations, most all cruisers are able to find a place to keep their boats.

Moorings and Anchorages
