About This Anchorage
Port Louis Marina (Camper & Nicholsons / IGY Marina) is Grenada's newest and most comprehensively equipped marina facility, located in the protected Lagoon just north of St. George's. The marina offers 160 berths for yachts up to 300 feet, with full shore power (110V and 220V), water, high-speed WiFi, security, showers, laundry, grey and black water discharge, and the Victory Bar & Grill on-site. Customs and Immigration are located at the marina — contact VHF 14 (Capitainerie) before arrival. This is an official port of entry for Grenada. Port Louis is the closest marina to St. George's Carenage and the capital's excellent provisioning, markets, and historic waterfront. The Lagoon anchorage area provides the best-protected overnight stop on Grenada — completely calm in all conditions. Foodland Supermarket is directly opposite the marina entrance for major provisioning.
