Boat care and management in Jolly Harbour

West coast Antigua. Marina berths, canal side docks and the boatyard.

Jolly Harbour is where many owners with a villa or apartment on the water keep a boat on the dock outside, and where a good number of cruising yachts sit out the summer in the yard. Bloomfield Yachting looks after both.

Jolly Harbour

A purpose built marina and residential harbour on the sheltered west coast, with a marina, canal side private docks behind the villas, a boatyard with travel lift and hard standing, fuel, chandlery and a short run to the Pillars of Hercules and the south coast. Flatter water than the south, closer to the airport, and quieter in summer.

What we do here

Dock side boatsCentre consoles, RIBs, sports cruisers and day boats on villa docks. Checked, washed, engines flushed and run, covers managed, batteries kept up while you are away.
Marina berthsSailing and motor yachts in the marina. Full guardianage and management as on the south coast.
In the yardVessels hauled for the summer. Stands and straps checked, covers and drains managed, interior ventilated, yard liaison handled.
Storm preparationJolly Harbour is a recognised hurricane hole. We run the same preparation and watch protocol here as on the south coast.

Set up and put to bed

Most Jolly Harbour owners arrive for a few weeks at a time. We have the boat washed, fuelled, provisioned if asked and running before you land, and flushed, washed, covered and secured after you leave. Photographs of both in the app.

Pricing

Same tiers as elsewhere: owner app at US$ 9.99 a month, with monthly, fortnightly or weekly check tiers on top. Smaller dock side boats are often on the monthly tier with set up and put to bed added around visits. Free first meeting at the boat.

Questions

Do you look after small boats as well as yachts?

Yes. Dock side centre consoles, RIBs and day boats are a large part of the Jolly Harbour work.

Can you manage a boat in the Jolly Harbour yard over summer?

Yes. Yard liaison, stands and cover checks, ventilation and storm preparation are all covered.

How far is Jolly Harbour from your base?

About 30 minutes by road from English Harbour. We schedule west coast visits on set days and attend outside those for alerts.
