There are two designated anchorage zones within the Saba National Marine Park: one between Ladder Bay and Wells Bay (west side) and one off of the Fort Bay Harbour.
Fort Bay offers better protection in strong NE winds, while Ladder and Wells Bays are more sheltered in SE winds. The anchorage here is only really comfortable in calm weather.
Details on all moorings available to visiting yachts can be found on the Saba National Marine Park website.
Cruisers report some moorings may be missing--also they are quite small and may be difficult to spot. Park staff request that you run your own lines through the mooring pendant; the marine park is trying to prevent chafing of their mooring lines.
Dinghies can be landed inside the breakwater at the tender dock.
More information about the port services and facilities can be found on the Fort Bay Harbor, Saba Government site.

We used our inflatable to get from Wells Bay mooring field to Fort Bay. A little bit of a rough ride, but doable. No one locks up their dinghies here. Also, bring a stern anchor or tie up your stern to a mooring ball at the dinghy dock.
When we were there, the resupply ship came on a Thursday (but usually comes on Wednesdays). It does not significantly add to the boat traffic in the area, as there are usually a few dive and fishing boats coming in and out.
Don’t even THINK of using the dinghy to travel from Well’s Bay to Fort Bay unless you own a powerful rib and it’s a flat calm… One can access the island from the landing at Well’s if you get the phone number from a taxi driver at Fort Bay.
