Rain-proof coat beats warm DJ (mine) (10)

I may be misconstruing bigbad's clue @15. Could someone come to my aid?

I think

snake=wind, + jam (stop) replacing char (tea) in charmer?

Thanks, mattrom. I indeed had things a bit out of order.

Marley's ghost ship? (10)

... Somewhat of a stretch, I know ...

Bob Marley sang Jammin'
A ghostly sound could be in the wind

Yeh, well ...

Ship out in me warm DJ (10)

Whiskey slammer with no hint of salt or lime wedges, in the name of God Jack, there's rum! (10)

South African agreement after "West India" Master boards French sea vessel (10)

ginge: I see W (SL) IN D J AMMER, but I'm curious about the definition. Is it a kind of rum or are you referring to rum transport?

Thanks, therogue!

Hi aristo, not surprisingly your parsing is spot on. Windjammer is a particularly good brand of rum, well known over here and it won't be adding anything by letting you know I'm partial to it: Then again it contains ethanol, I've managed to avoid methanol so far !
You may feel it should have an indicator highlighting it's a brand/type and I wouldn't/couldn't argue but as you'll probably notice the clue is probably overlong already.
Cheers.
