Visiting Yachtsmen
Cooper Island's Manchioneel Bay features on many sailing itineraries as we are a natural stop along the Sister Island chain leading to The Baths at Virgin Gorda. We are an easy reach from Tortola - ideal for your first night aboard or your last stop before returning your boat in the morning.
Moor-Seacure owns and maintains 30 moorings in Manchioneel Bay which are suitable for vessels up to 60ft in length and 20 net tons. It is not recommended to anchor here as the sea-grass is a poor holding and more importantly, provides habitat, shelter, and nurseries for many species such as fish and sea turtles. So grab your mask and snorkel to see what's under your boat!
