Pre-arrival reporting

Grenada customs legislation provides for arriving-vessel declarations, with at least 24 hours' advance submission in the text. SailClear supports electronic yacht pre-declarations. The legislation does not specifically distinguish private yachts. Confirm voyage-specific deadlines and channels with customs.

Yacht crew and passengers must complete immigration at designated entry ports under official tourism guidance, with passports and required personnel lists/arrival forms. Visa requirements and stays depend on nationality and travel documents. Check with Grenada Immigration before departure.

Vessel customs

Fly the Q flag on arrival and report to the responsible officer under Grenada's Yachting Act. The master must report within two hours of arrival. Before reporting, do not move the yacht or transfer/unload goods without permission. Submit a departure report before leaving.

Quarantine and biosecurity

Official yacht guidance requires the master to prepare vessel, stores and health declarations. Pets need health documents and advance notification of entry port and ETA. No complete hull, food and stores biosecurity checklist was found. Confirm specific quarantine matters with the government veterinary officer or Port Health.

Prohibited and restricted items

Grenadian customs information identifies narcotics, weapons/ammunition and certain fruit/vegetables as prohibited or restricted. Licensed firearms must also be declared. Conditions depend on the item, whether taken off the vessel and whether imported. Passenger baggage rules are not yacht stores allowances.

Arrival formalities

Fly Q on arrival and remain aboard until customs, immigration and health formalities are complete. The Yachting Act requires the master to report to the responsible officer. Tourism guidance calls for separate health, immigration and customs procedures at designated points. The two-hour reporting requirement comes from the Act; confirm out-of-hours arrangements separately.

No uniform outward-clearance fee for every yacht was confirmed in the legislation. Cruising-permit charges are arrival/navigation-permission costs, not fixed departure fees. No uniform overtime fee beyond the Act's authorised items was found.
