Position approximate: west of Honeymoon Beach in Druif Bay (OpenStreetMap), checked to be in the water. Noonsite: can be rolly even in an east wind; anchor outside the moored boats. Designated DPNR anchorage (listed as Honeymoon Bay (Druif Bay)). USVI anchoring rules: DPNR requires an Anchoring Permit for recreational vessels anchoring in USVI waters without a mooring permit, and charter vessels not registered in the USVI need a Cruising Permit for overnight anchoring; pollution and refuse discharge fines run to US$10,000 per offense (DPNR site, 2026). DPNR enforces a 14-day limit in any one designated anchorage in a six-month period (Noonsite, 2018); move bays to restart the count or apply for a long-term permit (up to 30 days).
