Yachts can anchor in Mosquito Cove, to port as you enter the harbor. There is good holding in sand and weed, although visibility is not good. There is a little wash here from boats coming down the channel.
For a list of anchorages around the island visit the Antigua and Barbuda Marine Guide.
Jolly Harbor Marina and Boatyard provides 13 sheltered moorings as you reach further into the channel and are available on a first come first serve basis. Contact the marina on VHF Channel 68 and proceed to any available mooring. You will be required to check in at the marina office.
