Some other charter companies don't allow White Bay either. Boats are owned by private individuals. The charter companies are trying to protect their owner's property. White Bay has a history of back winding which has put more boats on the beach and/or loose banging into other boats than probably any other bay in the islands. On top of that the bay can be crowded with a lot of people that are over their limit on booze. As an owner I'm happy to have a charter company managing my boat that red lines White Bay (JVD). I don't want my boat in there.
