Position from the ActiveCaptain listing. Marina website (rates page copyright 2020; verify locally): 52 of 81 slips available to transients; boats 16-250 ft; maximum draft 8 ft at MLW. Dockage per ft per day: $3.75 in season (March 15-September 15), $2.75 off-season (September 16-March 14); catamarans and T-heads $3.95/$2.95. Power per cord per day: 30-amp $35, 50-amp $60, 100-amp $120, 100-amp 3-phase $185; generators may not be run in the marina in season. Metered water $0.35/gal from the island's own RO; watermakers may not be run in the marina. Gas and diesel at the filtered fuel dock seven days a week. VHF 16, working channel 12 (older listings say 14). The dock master's office in the Ships Store is open 8:00 am to 6:00 pm daily; Mastercard, Visa and AMEX accepted; main island phone +1 242-807-0317. The site says the break wall, docks and pedestals are being upgraded. Pre-Dorian reviews (2017-2019) praised the staff, showers, pool and laundry, but criticized the price, gaps in the breakwater that let in swell (exposed to the west), and occasional water or power outages; the store was well stocked with produce and fresh bread in season. The Wrecker's Bar is closed after Hurricane Dorian damage. A reef about a mile offshore is good for snorkeling and diving (2018 report).
