 Long Island : Profile
Long Island, like Eleuthera and Cat Island, has an ocean coastline to the east, which offers deep-sea fishing and one or two anchorages in suitable weather, including Clarence Town. To visit this attractive settlement, consult the cruising guides, as it can be uncomfortable.
The west side offers shallow water cruising with interesting settlements, creeks and bays to explore.
Clearance facilities are available at Stella Maris Marina, a sophisticated marina, hotel and airstrip near the north end of Long Island.
Customs and Immigration
Based at the airport
Can be called to the Stella Maris Marina using VHF channel 16, then 06 working channel.
The Flying Fish Marina can accommodate boats up to 200 feet.
The Clarence Town anchorage offers better protection against the elements
then you might expect, as the coral reef even dries at LW. No surge or swell.
