Bolans is a south-west village right beside Jolly Harbour, so it sees both family barrels and homes being set up near the marina. We connect you with one vetted partner who handles either. It's free to ask.
✅ The quick answer — Tell us what you're shipping to Bolans and we connect you with one vetted partner. Free.
🏠 Who ships here — Local families, plus homes near the Jolly Harbour marina.
📦 How you ship — Barrels, a shared load, or a full container for a home.
⏱️ How long — Roughly 3 to 5 weeks, usually transhipped through a US hub.
📍 Delivery — Delivery to Bolans and the west coast.
Bolans sits on the south-west coast in the parish of Saint Mary, a working local village right next to the Jolly Harbour marina and the string of beaches along that side of the island. That gives it a foot in two worlds: a settled community where families send and receive barrels, and the gateway to the west coast where expats set up home around the marina. So shipments here range from a barrel for relatives to the contents of a home.
Whichever yours is, the same free service connects you with one vetted partner who packs, ships and clears it, then delivers to your Bolans address or on to the nearby marina.
From a single barrel to a full home, here's how most people ship here.
Clothes, food and gifts in a barrel, from around £80.
Shared or full 20ft and 40ft for a large load or a home.
Coming home for good? Bring used effects in under the concession.

Goods for Bolans clear at Deep Water Harbour, where a broker files the entry in ASYCUDA World. Ordinary barrels and shipments may attract some import duty and 15% ABST. Returning nationals coming home to live bring used household and personal effects owned for a year or more in free of duty and ABST, as long as they're not for resale, and expats setting up a home near the marina budget for duty and ABST on anything new. Your partner and the broker handle the paperwork.
From Deep Water Harbour in St John's, Bolans is a short run of around half an hour out to the west coast, the same direction as Jolly Harbour. Your partner times the delivery with you. Heading to the marina itself? See Jolly Harbour, or browse every area on the Antigua and Barbuda hub.
Sending a barrel or moving home often goes hand in hand with sending money to family. For years we've connected customers with trusted partners who handle any currency, so the money side is simple and fair. It's offered through our partners, with no hidden fees.
Whether it's a barrel or a home near the marina, we connect you with one partner suited to the Bolans and west-coast route, not a call centre. For full home moves, partners hold FIDI FAIM accreditation, the global benchmark for international movers, with BAR Overseas the UK marker, and a local broker clears your goods at Deep Water Harbour.
