Expansion plans are in place for Safe Harbor in St. Kitts.

It’s been a diamond in the rough for more than a decade. Now, the full-scale vision of the Marina at Christophe Harbour, located on St. Kitts’ southeast peninsula, may be realized, thanks to new ownership by Dallas, Texas-headquartered Safe Harbor Marinas, LLC, the largest owner and operator of marinas in the world. In a nutshell, this means growing the St. Kitts marina—24 for vessels up to 150 feet in length and four slips for yachts 280 to 300 feet in length.

Notably, the Safe Harbor sale at the end of May only included the marina’s assets and operations. Ongoing community development, including luxury residential neighborhoods and other amenities, remains with Darby’s CHDC. In a press release from Safe Harbor, Darby said, “With this transition, we remain committed to the long-term success of the community while entrusting the marina to a team with a shared vision and the resources and expertise to enhance its offerings.”

Safe Harbor plans to launch immediately into an expansion project to accommodate superyachts up to 350 feet in length, and grow yachting and yacht services in the two-island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis to cater to the growing number of superyachts that call the Caribbean home each winter. For one, the island’s Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport is 15 minutes away from the marina. Secondly, St. Kitts is strategically located near several other superyacht destinations. St. Bart’s is only 30 miles to the north, and St. Maarten/St. Martin is 51 nautical miles north. Then there are the white-sand beaches, water sports, beautiful mountain scenery, upscale restaurants, casual beach bars, and historic sites. It was also one of the filming locations for Season 9 of Bravo’s reality series, Below Deck. shmarinas.com/locations/safe-harbor-in-st-kitts

Caribbean Safety and Security Net Sets Site on Protecting Boaters

Caribbean cruisers have relied on the Caribbean Safety and Security Net (CSSN) since its inception in 1996 to alert seafaring visitors about dinghy and outboard thefts off the Venezuelan coast.

Today, CSSN covers 38 countries in the Caribbean Basin, collecting and disseminating information on yacht crimes so cruisers can make informed decisions when planning their course.

Overall, according to the latest survey by the CSSN, theft is by far the most common non-violent crime, followed by burglary and attempted theft. In June, the CSSN launched a makeover of its website, featuring a better incidents map, new features, and expanded functionality.

With enhanced mobile compatibility and search tools, a cleaner interface, reporting, and up-to-date alerts on security issues throughout the Caribbean, the new site helps boaters stay informed, connected, and safe while navigating the region.

Boaters can also now submit firsthand reports more easily and access interactive tools to plan for safer passages.

A subscriber option delivers email alerts tailored to your cruising area. Maintained by a team of volunteers, CSSN relies on community reports to keep information current and available for free to all. Visit safetyandsecuritynet.org
