Dock & Dine in Grenada
Grenada's dock-and-dine answer is a boatyard restaurant with a published tariff on the dock in front of it.
Laura's at Grenada Marine, in St David's Harbour, is the real one. The yard publishes "100 m of alongside dock with power and water", alongside berthing at $1.00 per ft/day, moorings at $10.00/day and diesel on site. It also publishes "Shallow, calm, white sand beach, safe and convenient for kids" and free transport to St George's and Grand Anse, because the yard is a long way from town. Yard hours are given as "Mon – Fri: 8:00 am – 4:00 pm" on the services page and "Monday to Friday - 8am to 5pm. (12:00 - 1:00 closed for lunch)" on the rate sheet — plan against the shorter day and call if you need the later hour.
Prickly Bay Marina is the other one, and it is a bar first. Happy hour runs daily 4 PM to 6 PM, with Monday half-price pizza, $1.00 wings on Wednesday, a $20.00 taco night on Thursday, live music and live sport. Arriving means a mooring or the anchor and a tender ride in; slips and mooring fees are settled by telephone on +1 (473) 439-5265.
Beyond those two, dining here works the way it always has: take a mooring, and go in by tender. There are no guest docks to aim for on this coast, so plan the evening around where the boat is lying rather than around the table.
The place that does publish its rules is a park rather than a restaurant. In the Molinere/Beauséjour Marine Protected Area — the underwater sculpture park north of St George's — the Grenada Tourism Authority publishes a yacht buoy/mooring permit at US$10 (EC$27) for one hour, an MPA user fee of US$3.50 per person per visit rising to US$7.00 on 1 October 2026 and US$10.00 on 1 October 2027, US$10 (EC$27) per person per day for snorkelling or diving, and US$25 (EC$67) per day for an overnight yacht charter. It states 19 moorings and 29 new sculptures, with "increased daily patrols", and fees paid through the Pure Grenada Payment Portal. Pick up a buoy marked "Yacht" rather than "Dive".
So the working instruction for Grenada is: berth at the yard, or take a mooring and use the tender. The chart below runs the sculpture park and St George's down the south coast past four yards to St David's, and on to Carriacou — a working coast, in the order a boat actually uses it.
The stops, as their own docks describe them
| Spot | Where | Arriving by boat |
|---|---|---|
| Laura's at Grenada MarineThe market's real dock-and-dine, with a tariff on the dock in front of it. Grenada Marine states "100 m of alongside dock with power and water", alongside berthing at $1.00 per ft/day and moorings at $10.00/day, with diesel on site and "Laura's Restaurant and bar" on the beach — "Shallow, calm, white sand beach, safe and convenient for kids". The yard is a long way from town and publishes free transport to St George's and Grand Anse. Hours are given as "Mon – Fri: 8:00 am – 4:00 pm" on the services page and "Monday to Friday - 8am to 5pm.

| The bar at Prickly Bay MarinaThe south coast's social stop, at a Ports Authority port of entry: happy hour daily 4 PM to 6 PM, Monday half-price pizza, $1.00 wings on Wednesday, a $20.00 taco night on Thursday, live music and live sport. Arriving is a mooring or the anchor and a tender ride in, and dockage and mooring fees are settled by telephone on +1 (473) 439-5265. That is how dining works all along this coast: take a mooring or a yard berth, and go in by tender. | Prickly Bay, south coast | Take a mooring or anchor, and tender in |
Dockage notes are what each restaurant publishes on its own site — space is first-come and dinner-hour rafting is real, so hail ahead. Where a venue states nothing about docking, we say so rather than guess.
