Rameau Bay Anchorage (Canouan)

12° 43.2′ N · 61° 19.9′ W · approximate

A quieter bay just north of Charlestown that cruisers use to escape the gusts and crowds of the main anchorage, with good snorkelling and occasional superyacht company.

Practical

Coordinate is derived: a water point inside Rameau Bay as outlined in OpenStreetMap. Noonsite: with the current and tide boats swing randomly here, so leave plenty of room between boats; it can take a couple of attempts to set the anchor. The coast guard station is nearby and patrols the bay at night, which cruisers found reassuring. No services ashore; go to Charlestown for town.

Best for

A calmer overnight than Charlestown with snorkelling off the boat
