Jordan. All other paperwork would be normal. In Jamaica, Boaters will need to complete forms for the health/quarantine, immigration and customs department. However, these forms are all provided free of charge at the port of entry. Provisioning wise most agree with Nick Line at Anchor Concierge & Super Yacht Services Ltd who says that while shipping in provisions seems like an extravagance, a great deal of what is in the supermarkets on the islands, is shipped in by sea and so it’s a week old and subject to shipping costs and duty before it hit the shelves, so flying in high quality provisions that are two days old and duty free makes a lot of sense as it will keep longer onboard.
Christine Downer,Marina Manager at Errol Flynn Marina & Boatyard on Jamaica says that dry goods are all available at the big chain supermarkets in Kingston and can
be easily had with a local driver. She would encourage yachts to bring specialised fish that is not in Jamaican waters (example: Atlantic salmon) with them as it can take some time to import due to the nature of the goods.
Knuckling down to the yummy stuff these locals offer up their favourite, un-missable bits of their island lives.
Dominica “My father’s grand parents were Irish folks who were sent to the sister island of Montserrat to oversee a plantation,” explains Andrew Cobra O’Brien of Cobra Tours/Dominica Yacht Agency. “My dad
boarded a banana boat and came to Dominica as a young
man...met my mom whose parents were descendants of Africans (who were brought to the island to work the plantations) and Kalinago (Carib Indian who came to the island by choice from being hunters and gatherers or nomads, back then coming from south east Asia in the late 15th century)...and boom... here I am! Ever since he has been on this island. O’Brien’s favourite spots include: Prince Rupert’s Bay, Mero Bay, Champagne
