Frégate Standoff and Nearest Anchorage
4° 35.2′ S · 55° 56.4′ E
Frégate is reserved exclusively for island guests and is entirely pest-free, so for a visiting yacht it is a sail-past, not a stop: there is no public anchorage or landing.
Practical
Pin is the GeoNames island coordinate. The island's own site states access is reserved exclusively for island guests, and Wikipedia states anyone visiting by boat must produce a rat-free licence; no public anchorage, mooring, landing fee or approach procedure is published. No official standoff distance is published; keep off the beaches (turtle nesting) and the island harbour, and do not fish the drop-off or dive the reefs without the island's permission. The island has its own harbour, used by resort boats. Nearest public anchorages: La Digue, roughly 15 nm NNW, and Mahé's east coast, about 30 nm (55 km) west (distances derived from published coordinates). With no shelter at Frégate, plan it as a long daylight round trip or a passage leg in settled weather.
