Sails

Top choice in Trinidad


This popular hangout is one of the most appealing eating options in Chaguaramas, with seating overlooking the water and in the air-con interior. You can get bar snacks and grilled food here, as well as steaks, ribs and local dishes such as callaloo soup, and fresh fish or seafood with plentiful sides. Pasta dishes and vegetarian options, too.

Sails moved from its original location at Power Boats Marina following earthquake damage in 2018; reconstruction works are ongoing prior to a move back to Power Boats.
