Providenciales Marinas & Ports of Entry

South Bank Marina on Providenciales, a full service marina that offers high quality fuel, maintenance, repair, and concierge services.

Providenciales offers a number of marinas, located on both the northern and southern coasts of the island.

Several of the marinas have immigration and customs personnel present, but it's recommended that you call in advance to ensure, especially if you are arriving late in the evening.

Fuel, electricity and water supply is typically available, as are pilot boats. Blue Haven Marina and Turtle Cove Marina are adjacent to and within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops and accommodations.

The smaller south coast facilities are a bit more limited in terms of extras services and amenities, yet the slip rates are a bit more favorable, especially for small cruisers.

Marina Entry and Navigation

Before approaching your chosen marina, radio ahead on VHF channel 16, or call, as the navigation into many sites can be tricky, with reef and shallow hazards.

Once in the marina, wait for instructions from local immigration and customs personal. As is the case for all visitors to the Turks and Caicos, a passport is required for each passenger and crew arriving. See Passports and Visas for detailed information and requirements.

Anchoring and Cruising Our Islands

Anchoring is legal at many sites in the Turks and Caicos. Any vessel over 60 feet (18 m) requires an Anchoring Permit from the Department of Environment and Maritime Affairs (DEMA).

If you’d like to cruise our countless uninhabited and spectacular cays, an extended stay may be granted by the Turks and Caicos Immigration Department. There are so many spectacular sights and beaches to discover throughout the archipelago.
