Spent three days on ball #15 at 25-30 kts…never saw fetch more than 8”. Super protected. Slept like a baby. Laundry & liquor store is close. So is Browns.

Looks like nobody goes down here now because you have to pay for it. Well it's a National Park, it's beautiful, and it's a great place to get away from the GTown crowd. The approach is nowhere near as bad as it looks on the charts. We came out this morning at mid-tide and saw no less than 8.5 feet. Follow the yellow brick road and depth is fine...

Peaceful, calm and beautiful. Dove the mooring and looked robust, though it tied to a sand screw and no idea how strong that is. Held our 48’ catamaran in 34 kts. Pretty expensive though.

Lovely place! Well protected.

Very peaceful and protected mooring field. We moored here during a big blow and felt very secure. No anchoring is allowed in the park so did not have to worry about neighboring boats anchors dragging. Every boat is on a mooring ball.

We love it here and very protected during windy nights! We are in a 44ft cat with about 3.5 and we were comfortable at 15 for two nights during blow and with wind gusts of up to like 40 knots. Very responsive team also.

We were on ball 26 for several days of strong NE to NW winds (20 -25kts). No issues.

Beautiful! The moorings are great and deep enough for our 6'2" draft (at least up to mooring 20 - didn't try to go further)

About Moriah Harbour Cay National Park Moorings
Welcome to Moriah Harbour Cay National Park! Help us preserve the marine environment while enjoying our newly installed moorings at Red Shanks Cay as you explore and enjoy the park's beauty.
The Bahamas National Trust now offers 34 moorings at Red Shanks Cay (south of Crab Cay) and 2 moorings off the eastern end of Stocking Island that can accommodate up to 60 ft / 18 m vessels.
The Red Shanks Cay mooring field offers excellent protection from all wind directions and is a short dinghy ride to several local restaurants and businesses including a marina. George Town is approximately 15 minutes west and accessible through protected waters. Rolle Town is approximately 10 minutes east. The Red Shanks Cay mooring field is a great staging area for explorations of Moriah Harbour Cay National Park.
The Stocking Island moorings are located in a picturesque location on the western boundary of the park adjacent to the beaches, trails, and sandbars on the southeastern end of the island. A short dinghy ride will take you to snorkeling at channel reef (5 min), Guana Cay reef (10 min), and Fowl Cay reef (15 min). All snorkeling buoys are red with yellow pennnats. These moorings are protected, but are probably best in northerly and easterly winds.
Moorings fees are consistent with existing Bahamas National Trust park fees. Once your reservation is confirmed, fees must be paid in full Check out before 12pm. Check in after 2pm. Reservation requests will be confirmed on the same day if made by 1pm. Changes to reservations must be made 24 hours prior to arrival/departure/extension of stay. No wet storage available.
Please refer to our website for mooring field guidelines and tie-up instructions, and additional information. We strongly recommend that vessels with a draft of 5'+ enter the mooring field to approach moorings 1-14 at mid-high tide. Terms and conditions apply.
