Great Harbour - Docking
Great Harbour is a spacious and sheltered anchorage, surrounded by small mountains. However, holding here is uncertain and space restrictions could have you anchoring a long way out. Moorings now cover most of the bay and it is recommended cruising boats use these.
Other Anchorages/Moorings on Jost Van Dyke:
White Bay: This is another popular anchorage on Jost Van Dyke which also some moorings buoys available. It is protected by reefs so ensure you do not drop your anchor on the coral. Popular bars ashore so can get busy with dinghy traffic and day trippers.
Diamond Cay: This anchorage area lies at the extreme eastern end of Jost Van Dyke where it is connected by a shallow bar to Little Jost Van Dyke. If wishing to use the buoys here, contact Foxy’s Taboo Bar.
Little Harbour: This is also at the eastern end of Jost Van Dyke. To use the buoys here, contact Abe’s Place (for buoys on the eastern side) or Harris’ Place for the others.
Green Cay: Lies at the far east of the islands. It also has moorings but there is excellent holding inside them with a very short dinghy ride to the dock. If you want to go hiking, snorkeling etc. this might be a preferred option.

Had the most beautiful day at the Soggy Dollar Bar yesterday until, sadly, we woke up at 6AM to find our dinghy had been stolen while at anchor in White Bay for the evening. Taken off the transom cleat during the hours of 11pm – 6am while we were asleep. Reaching out to put you all on alert if you are cruising in the USVI/BVI to be more cautious (allegedly 12 dinghies were stolen out of the Foxy’s mooring field on NYE).
