Conch Inn Mooring Balls

26° 32.9′ N · 77° 3.1′ W · approximate

Rental mooring balls run by the Conch Inn just off its docks, a step up from anchoring for a short provisioning stop, with the marina's showers, pool and Snappas a short dinghy ride away.

Practical

Position approximate: placed in the harbour about 130 m north of the Conch Inn docks (marinas.com marina position); confirm the ball assignment with the marina. Noforeignland lists the field as 12 balls and cruisers rate them well maintained; marinas.com lists only 2 moorings, so the count may have changed. Book through the Conch Inn (VHF 16, 242-577-7000); rates are not published, verify locally. Harbour depths here are 6-9 ft. The harbour east of the Conch Inn is soft for anchoring, which is one reason to take a ball here.

Short provisioning stop without anchoring
