Yacht Mooring

Mooring

Nevis Air and Sea Ports Authority (NASPA) installed a number of yacht moorings along the western or Caribbean coast of Nevis from Oualie Beach to Charlestown to provide safe anchorage for mariners visiting the island. NASPA also installed swim buoys along Pinneys Beach from the Four Seasons Resort to Pinneys Beach Hotel in order to create a safe swimming area.
