On Google, the northeast corner of Cruz Bay, near the old seaplane ramp, looks uncrowded and possible for anchoring during C&I check-in. Has anyone tried that? Is it too shallow?

We have anchored there (caveat: we have a shallow draft stink pot) and got stuck on some chain. What it was doing there, I don't know. Had to maneuver a bit, but it was okay. I think sail2wind likes that spot, so maybe he will weight in...

That area is actually part of the National Park zone. They allow boats to anchor there for up to three hours to clear in C&I. Stay longer or overnight and you will get a citation - $75.00 plus the $15.00 overnight park fee.
It is fairly shallow but good holding.....
Safe and enjoyable boating.
