Docking

The holding in this anchorage can be indifferent, but it is a useful place to provision. The best holding is near the old Club Med dock.
A good anchorage (that offers protection in W to N winds) is a good mile NW of the town anchorage, at 25°12,5’N 076°15,7’W.

There are now moorings of the town, but ask the port authority on VHF 16 before you pick one up.

There is a small, relatively new marina about 3 miles away, at Runway Bay.

Last updated December 2008.

Runway Bay Marina
Rogue Cove, South Palmetto Point
Tel:+242 332 1744, VHF Channel 16
This is a sheltered marina with electricity, water/ice, a fuel dock and LPG. Restaurant and bar.
