Welcome to YSATT
Welcome to Trinidad and Tobago
The Yacht Services Association of
Trinidad and Tobago (YSATT) welcomes all cruisers to our
twin island republic. YSATT is the marine trades
association for the yacht services industry in Trinidad and
Tobago.
YSATT
was formed 14 years ago when the founders of the yacht
services industry in Chaguaramas, recognised the need for
the creation of a body that would become the lobbying voice
for the industry. Over the years, YSATT has grown to
over 90 members, representing a range of marine
professionals in the country. We are the voice to the
Government of Trinidad and Tobago as well as to the cruising
community. We address issues such as security,
policies and procedures (Immigration, Customs, Etc.)
YSATT
has been working with its members, the private sector
professionals within the industry as well as with Government
to make the visitor experience the best that it can be.
We act as the tourism centre for the Chaguaramas area and
are your one stop shop for industry, tourism and general
information.
Trinidad has been blessed with a natural advantage of being
below the critical hurricane belt and we have room for the
storage of over 1,000 yachts on land. We are known
throughout the Caribbean for our creativity and skills and
thus, our skilled personnel in this area are second to none.
Trinidad has evolved into the premier storage and repair
centre for yachts and a quiet, laid back environment.
It is the perfect weekend getaway.
Besides the advantages specific to yachts, Trinidad and
Tobago is home to a myriad of Festivals and events
throughout the year. We are the birthplace of the
steel pan and home to the biggest and best Carnival in the
Caribbean. We offer excellent eco adventures for
nature lovers. One can go hiking, turtle watching
and/or visit the marshlands to see our magnificent scarlet
ibis.
Our
food is a fusion of the very cultures that have made our
nation the melting pot of the Caribbean and exploring the
local culinary fare can be a most pleasant adventure in
itself.
Whether you are here to get repairs done on your yacht, to
wait out the hurricane season or simply to have a fantastic
holiday, we welcome you and encourage you to stop by our
office upon your arrival into Chaguaramas.
