I've just been reading the 'Caribbean Comeback Itinerary' recently posted by The Moorings/Sunsail. Link below: https://hsinfo.caribbeancomeback.com/itineraryI was intrigued to read this quote: "Around the corner from Leverick Bay, Oil Nut Bay re-opens December 16th. Oil Nut Bay is a great place to tie up for the night, dine ashore and enjoy the facilities." I didn't know that ONB was open to visiting yachts, I had thought it was all private...does anyone know if this is correct? ...if it is correct, does anyone know if there is likely to be enough depth to take a 50ft monohull up there? We've never previously ventured between Saba and BEYC in anything other than the tender. Any insights/experiences/opinions/wild-guesswork or other would be greatly appreciated!

Not a place to tie up except for a tender. In the past the yachts tied up at YCCS and the owners were dropped at Oil Nut. We were definitely not welcome beyond the dock at Oil Nut last time we stopped there. Of course we were very welcome at YCCS, my daughter even had 2 birthday parties there. Oil Nut managed to get all the water in front of the resort declared a turtle sanctuary and off limits for anchoring. Of course that beach wasn't ever there, it was mangroves and the beach is from Barbuda.

Looks like the monthly rate at $15/foot/month is less than half the rate on Tortola. Wonder if that is a typo.
