There is a well known and safe anchorage off the cruiser friendly Nusalik Resort, in "the Duck Pond" (02 35.11S, 150 46.91 E), where there are people who are only too happy to keep an eye out for the many yachts that anchor there. The villagers on the island where the resort is located are very friendly and keen to encourage yachts to visit. The following 2025 report from Luc Callebaut of SV Sloepmouche contains a link to information on 24 anchorages that he visited in early 2025.
Most people here are friendly and helpful, but basic precautions should be taken and it is recommended not to leave the boat after sunset.
Cruisers who visited in late 2023 were advised that the town is not safe and visitors should not go out after dark. Nusalik Island Resort (which is opposite the town but about half a mile away) is reported to be safe and they can provide security services if needed. Cruisers who visited in 2025 reported feeling safe with many offers of help.
See these reports from James Ashwell of SV Uhuru of London Luc Callebaut of SV Sloepmouche for helpful information.
