Reported by SY Starry Horizons Oct 2019: We anchored in Crater Bay for the night late September 2019. This is home to the yacht club (NBYC), and we anchored just outside the mooring field. It’s easy staging to get to Hell-Ville in the morning and is a more favorable anchorage. The NBYC does charge for dock access: 15,000 ariary ($4 USD) for one night or 100,000 ariary ($27 USD) for a week. This includes rubbish and the dinghy dock. Check out the small store with wine and foie gras, the book swap, and the restaurant with wood-fired grill. This is a great base for day trips: swimming with whale sharks, Lokobe Park, and sunset at Mont Passot and Crater Lakes.
