2. Does Christophe Harbour offer any advantages with respect to purchasing fuel and the provisioning of my yacht compared to other Caribbean marinas?

Yes. The developer of Christophe Harbour has negotiated with the St. Kitts government to eliminate import duties, consumption taxes, or other Government charges for yacht fueling and provisioning while harbored at the Marina (food and beverage import duties are assessed at a reduced rate). These significant savings will be passed directly on to yacht owners. In addition, no custom duties or other Government charges shall be payable with respect to vessels visiting or based at the Marina.

3. Are concierge services available to yacht owners and guests while at the Marina?

Yes. The developer of Christophe Harbour also developed Kiawah Island, SC, Doonbeg Golf Club in Ireland and has many years of experience in providing the highest level of service to owners and guests. The Christophe Harbour marina will offer personal five-star service, which will include transportation to any location on St. Kitts, airport transfers, excursions to points of interest on the Island, professional laundry service, reservations at the Island's best restaurants, assistance in provisioning requirements, private lockers and storage facilities, 24-hour security, access to the Mandarin Oriental, St. Kitts hotel amenities, multiple beach access points, and much more.

4. Will my crew members be required to get work permits while my yacht is based at Christophe Harbour?

No. All crew members are exempt from any work permit requirements and fees (exclusive of departure taxes and landing fees) for activities related to their employment as a member of a yacht or airplane crew.

5. Where do I clear Customs?

Merely pull into your slip. The Marina will be a designated "port of entry" for St. Kitts, and a Customs House will be appropriately staffed onsite at the Marina. Also, the Government has agreed to implement customs and immigration procedures at the Marina to expedite customs and immigration applicable to visitors and guests arriving at the Marina. The Government's strong contractual commitment to facilitate the most competitive marina in the Caribbean will be of enormous, continuing benefit to your enjoyment and economic calculations at Christophe Harbour.

6. Are there direct flights from the US and Europe to St. Kitts?

Yes. There are direct flights from London, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, Philadelphia, and San Juan to the modern Robert L. Bradshaw Airport in St. Kitts. Expanded flight service will continue as development at Christophe Harbour progresses.

7. Will dockominium or slip purchasers be required to register under the St. Kitts Alien Land Holding Regulation Act?

No. Dockominium and slip purchasers are exempt from the requirements of the St. Kitts Alien Land Holding Regulation Act (including the 10% license fee).

8. What stamp taxes are payable in connection with the purchase or sale of dockominiums at Christophe Harbour?

The stamp tax applicable to the sale or transfer of dockominium units is fixed at an aggregate of 5% (with the seller responsible for 2.5% and the buyer responsible for 2.5%).
