I believe the mooring balls in Esperanza are private, you might have paid the owner.


Glenn Kranig (340-227-4288) has put in 6 private moorings off Esperanza and I think they are around $25 per night, if memory serves. We used one the last time we visited.


While I have not had difficulty finding holding, there is a lot of sea-grass off Esperanza and some people have had a hard time getting the hook to stay put. In addition to supplying a nice mooring, Glenn is a font of local knowledge and can direct you to some nice out-of-the-way anchorages.
