GeorgeC1 said: Mainly it's Anegada other then the main anchorage, Eustacia sound and Brewers bay. In addition to these areas, my upcoming charter with BVIYC also redlines the North Sound entrance between Mosquito/Virgin Gorda, and the pass between Little Camanoe/Beef Island. Not sure if that will be the case with the Moorings but my guess is that these are commonly redlined areas.

The standard chart provided to Moorings charters indicates a number of redlined areas-otherwise known as their "sales office." These are areas that common sense dictates that one should avoid primarily due to large zones of shallow reefs.

UncleLuff said: Just based off of my memory from last year the only redlined areas that I can think of where:
- White bay Just thinking back to the chart briefing (which was very much under whelming if you do your research and stalk this forum!) I am no longer sure if white bay was redlined.. I just know with my limited sailing experience, I was not anchoring or mooring there! We moored at Great Bay and took a dingy over to white bay, spent the afternoon with a pleasant Pain killer buzz!

According to the latest Moorings chart delivered for our charter at the end of this month, Brewers Bay is redlined. Savannah Bay is partially redlined, but open to the south and near shore. Eustatia Sound is redlined. Cam Bay is not redlined.

The Imray-Iolaire charts show a deep passage between Necker and the lands to the south (above VG), but the entire zone is redlined on the Moorings Chart. Their boat, their rules. Nothing prohibits one from sailing in that zone as long as they are willing to be responsible if something goes south.

Any information otherwise is old or wrong.
JPH I spent my money on booze, broads, and boats...the rest I wasted.

MileHighSkip said: -Savannah Bay, VG I don't think it is redlined, but I would avoid it if the water is churned up at all - we were there once and we're much closer the reef there then we realized because the water had poor visibility. Only go in if it is clear.
