St Thomas Bay Anchorage (Spanish Town)
18° 27.1′ N · 64° 26.4′ W · approximate
Open roadstead outside Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour and the Spanish Town ferry dock, handy for clearing customs or a quick provisioning run.
Practical
Coordinate approximate, about 280 m off the shore north of the marina breakwater (OpenStreetMap coastline). A 2014 cruiser anchored here rather than entering the marina and found it 'quite a rolly spot with all of the traffic entering and leaving the port' (ferries to Road Town, Trellis Bay, St Thomas and Anegada). Keep well clear of the ferry route to the dock and of the reefs either side of the yacht-harbour channel. Land the dinghy in the yacht harbour.
Best for
A short stop to clear customs or shop in Spanish Town
