When it comes to drones/UAVs, there is no ‘across the Caribbean’ standard; in a growing number of islands it is starting to become an issue. If you are buying a drone, it is best to be aware first of your local country’s regulations before even purchasing a drone.

  • Drones may not be flown more than 120 meters (400 feet) above the ground, except drones weighing less than 750 grams (1.6 pounds). For drones weighing less than 750 grams (1.6 pounds), they may not be flown more than 30 meters (100 feet) above the ground.
  • Drone pilots must maintain a direct visual line of sight with their drone while flying.
