On Behalf of The Port Authority of the Cayman Islands, we would like to remind the boating public that while you are out having fun with friends and family this Easter long weekend please remember to stay safe.  Make sure you check your safety equipment before going out on the water and ensure that every person onboard wears a floatation device and that you have some form of communication device that is protected in a water tight bag.

Do Not Drink and Boat!

All marine interests should be extremely vigilant of the heightened boating traffic this weekend.  Please have a safe, pleasant and enjoyable Easter boating weekend.

All marine interests are advised to please be extremely vigilant for these crafts operating around the island.  Have a safe, pleasant and enjoyable Easter boating weekend.
