The arrival into the Montego Bay Yacht Club is simple and the channel is well marked (for the cruise ships).
Check in involves an awful lot of forms from Health, Customs, Immigration and the club. Maybe an hour filling out the same questions over and over. Crew have to be present as well. Good news is there were no fees involved.
Marina is Med style using your anchor and a buoy in our case.
Fuel and water on the dock and 110 and 220 volt power using American plugs.
The club is a long way from town, so car rental is worth while. I used Apex car rentals, good, open to negotiation and friendly. They drove me back to the club.
There is a large shopping area about 30 mins walk away, including a supermarket , frozen yoghurt shop and a multiplex cinema.
All in all a good and enjoyable stopover.
