Picking up on Matt's comments:
- yes, there are now mooring balls in Benures and Muskmelon (I think they may have been put in during the pandemic bc those were quarantine locations). However, I've never seen many boats in Benures....no shore services....much quieter than The Bight.
- Agree on Key Bay (Peter Is.). There is enough space for several boats to anchor at the east end.
- Eustatia Sound and Pomato are two of our faves. Pomato can be a little rolly in certain conditions. I don't about any charter co restrictions.
- Little Harbor (Peter) is a nice anchorage. No balls. My crew likes the snorkeling there (easy, esp for beginners, and pretty good along the rocks). The wind can be swirly there. We usually run a stern line to shore to keep from swinging.

I've never been to the Exumas. Sounds like one for the bucket list. We are planning a two week BVI-Spanish VIs-St. Croix - BVI loop trip at some point. We tried a couple years ago but the weather was not great so we punted.
