Tamarind Bay Moorings

17° 11.4′ N · 62° 37.1′ W

A small NASPA mooring field just off Cades Point at the southern entrance to the Narrows.

Practical

NASPA moorings run along the west coast from Oualie Beach to Charlestown; call NASPA on VHF 16 for an assigned mooring within 24 hours of arrival, and no one may use a mooring without NASPA authorisation (naspakn.com). Mooring classes: up to 35 ft, 36-60 ft, 61-90 ft; vessels over 90 ft anchor in a designated area. Rates are published only as an image on NASPA's fee page, with surcharges of +25% weekdays 4:01pm-7:59am and all day Saturday and +50% on Sundays and public holidays. User reports (verify locally): about US$30 a week in 2016; a 2024 Noonsite report of a quoted US$25/night and that NASPA removes the moorings in the off-season (not yet back in Oct 2024), with anchoring prohibited while they are in. Pay at the Port Authority in Charlestown. Clear approach from the west (ActiveCaptain). No dinghy dock in the bay; Oualie Bay half a mile north has one. The shoreside resort was reported abandoned in 2016. Some Wi-Fi from shore.
