Basic docking facilities have now been built at Little Bay for ferry and cargo boats.
Dredging in Little Bay (August 2023) caused all moorings to be removed. The wrecks were removed which improves the anchoring options, however there is a shelf and sand can be difficult to find.
Holding is good with a sandy bottom, however, it is deep and can get very rolly so pick your weather conditions carefully. The most protected spot for anchoring seems to be north of the dock in front of the small fishing fleet, where there is room for a couple of boats. Be careful not to anchor in the pathway of the concrete pier and leave plenty of room for the huge container ships to turn around.
In the past, boats have been permitted to anchor 4NMm south of Little Bay in Isles Bay - which has excellent holding. However, recent reports are that this is no longer permitted.

There are currently no moorings available for visiting yachts.
Montserrat is currently developing a new port and marina in the Little Bay area (hence the dredging operations). In coming years a protected breakwater, port, ferry terminal, small ship cruise terminal, and a 60- 80 berth marina with services is planned.
For further information or assistance to visiting yachts please contact Ralph Birkhoff, Commodore, Montserrat Yacht Club at ralph.birkhoff@gmail.com or 664.496.3888.
Dinghies can be tied to the south side of the wharf.
