Nestled in an enclosed inlet on the north side of St. Lucia, the Shops at Rodney Bay Marina hosts an array of shops, restaurants and services that offer a true “home away from home” in the Southern Caribbean.
Advanced reservations are strongly recommended at Rodney Bay Marina. We cannot guarantee available berthing for guests arriving without a confirmed reservation. Please contact the marina office to advise of estimated arrival time in order for us to accommodate a smooth arrival.
If the vessel will be arriving after hours, please contact the marina office at least 24hrs in advance.
Please Note: Captains and his/her assignee must check-in/check-out with the marina office for each stay unless otherwise arranged with marina management.
Check-Out: 12:00pm |
Check-In: 8:00am |
ARRIVAL:
Upon arrival, hail Rodney Bay Marina on VHF Channel 16 for the slip assignment and directions to the dock. One of our skilled dock attendants will report to your slip to assist with docking the vessel and electrical hookups. Once settled, please report to the marina office to complete the check-in process.
DEPARTURE:
Upon departure we request you contact the marina office 1-2 hours prior to departure to ensure all items are in order. A receipt can be provided at the marina office or emailed upon request to the email address provided at the time of check-in. If all items are in order, please hail the marina office on VHF Channel 16 if you would like assistance with disconnection and lines.
Early Check-In / Late Check-Out
If a slip is occupied after 4:30pm on the day of your scheduled departure, an additional night’s dockage will be charged to your account.
We will do our absolute best to accommodate your requests whenever possible. In most cases, if your slip is available prior to 4:30pm on the day of your arrival, or after 10:30am on the day of your departure, we will allow you to remain in the slip at no additional charge. Prior arrangements must be made with the marina office for early arrival or delayed departure in order to avoid unnecessary charges.
Temporary Slips
In the event an early check-in and/or late check-out is unable to be accommodated in your current slip, we will try to accommodate by making another slip available until such time your slip is available or you are ready to depart the marina.
In the event a temporary slip is made available to you, and you do not relocate the vessel, the marina reserves the right to charge you two times (2x’s) the original daily rate for each night you occupy the temporary slip.
This is necessary as at times, the marina operates at full occupancy and failure to relocate the vessel could negatively affect other guests.
Cancellation Policy
• Security deposit amount is one third of the total dockage fees excl. taxes and with a maximum of thirty nights
• All security deposits are non-refundable and will be applied to the last period of the reservation for dockage
• Changes of arrival date must be a minimum of 72 hrs in advance to avoid slip rental charges being charged
• Reservation is not applied until form is signed and returned to Rodney Bay Marina and payment is received.
Please note: Cancellation policies are subject to change. Please refer to your reservation confirmation or contact the marina office direct for confirmation of cancellation policy. Cancellation requests must be submitted directly to the marina. Any cancellation requests received through the IGY Marinas website are not considered proper cancellation.

Rodney Bay Marina Rules
To make your stay with us more enjoyable, the following set of guidelines should be followed. These are merely suggested rules of etiquette and regulations to make the Marina and its facilities more enjoyable for all customers.
- There is a “NO WAKE” zone throughout the lagoons. Please make sure that you are thoughtful of these areas.
- Do not leave garbage on the docks to be picked up. Garbage should be bagged, tied and then properly placed in designated receptacles, or placed in the garbage truck, not loosely scattered or abandoned.
- Oils and fuels should be disposed of properly at the Boat Yard and not in the Marina trashcan. Please ask for assistance when disposing of oils, fuels, or chemicals at the Boat Yard. Your concern for the environment helps.
- Try not to introduce any effluents into the Marina Lagoon. Use holding tanks if possible. This will become a St. Lucian law in the near future.
- Do not attempt to turn on your own water and electricity. Please have a dock attendant take care of this so you can be properly metered in and out. Using pliers or screwdrivers will damage the equipment, for which you will be charged. It is suggested that you read meters along with our dock attendant to ensure accuracy in your metered charges for utilities.
- Anyone caught taking water from another yacht’s tap shall be responsible for the entire water cost of the metered yacht. Please use your own water.
- Keep power cords and water hoses in a neat and orderly fashion so that no one will trip in the dark or while carrying objects.
- Please wash sails on lawn areas where water outlets and drying spaces are available, or do so aboard your yacht.
- When marking anchor chains with paint, use paper or cardboard beneath your chain to keep wet paint off the docks and other customers’ shoes.
- When cleaning dinghies, make sure you rinse debris and growth off of the docks when finished.
- Lock your boat when leaving it unattended.
- Lock your dinghies and outboard at night, especially Friday nights.
- Try to keep excessive noise down after 10 pm as some people do need their rest.
- Boat repairs being performed at the docks should probably not include grinding and/or power sanding.
- Barbecue and cooking in general is prohibited on the docks. Barbecue and cooking should be done on board in suitable equipment and be self-contained. Any other way is dangerous and frowned upon. Kindly clean up after yourself when finished. Charcoal ash and debris are not to be disposed of into the lagoon.
- When docking, keep bowsprits and davits over water’s edge and not protruding across the docks.
- If bright deck lights or spotlights are to be used at night, avoid pointing them at nearby boats, especially down at or into their cabins.
- Try to control your pets. Some people do get upset by having animals on/or around their boat, specially when nature calls on their boat.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
