General Info
Gun Creek is located in the southwest corner of Bakers Bay, Gorda Sound. It is about 2nm west of the Bitter End Yacht Club.
It provides a very useful stop for yachts coming across from St Maarten, as it gives immediate access to the sheltered and large bays of Gorda Sound. It also avoids having to go to crowded Spanish Town further south to check in.
Position 18°29’25″N, 64°22’55″W (customs dock)
Clearance
Update July 2018: Due to the damage inflicted by hurricane Irma, this is no longer a Port of Entry and it is not possible to clear in or out here.
It is necessary to clear in at Spanish Town.
See the main BVI Formalities page for the full details.
This originally became a Port of Entry on 1st March 2012 and once the infrastructure has recovered, it might be once again, but currently, it is not.
