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.
Life's short - sail more!

We really liked White Bay.... this was in May, no chirstmas winds.
However, we had the jeanneau 36i, monohull, and would moor in front of Ivans. Always snorkeled the depth since we drew 6.5 feet. This was pre irma, and not sure about the shoaling after Irma. Keel Clearance looked about a foot and a half, rough estimate pre irma. No grounding on the sand bottom at that time.
I would think most of the catamarans would be OK in white in settled weather, hopefully that will work for them.,,From other posts, we will pass on mooring at white bay this trip, that will give the cats an additional mooring.
This may, we will be mooring at Foxys Taboo or the Bee Line..
And, also in Little Harbor. As recommended we can taxi over to great harbor and then get a leg stretch and hike over to white bay and back, , and thanks for the scoops on Abe's .
