Agree with George - check with your charter company before considering.
That said, the conditions have to be just right for anchoring to be safe and pleasant at Pomato. Any swell from N, NW, SW or S and/or winds from these directions and it gets very uncomfortable. And extremely hard if not dangerous to land a dinghy (be prepared to haul it up the sand incline a good ways no dinghy dock here). Swell will also wrap when from N and/or large from NE. You should be aware of condition forecasts within the next 24 hours as things can change quickly. As the locals say, the Atlantic can get angry - fast. We love it there when the winds/swell are light and from the E (typically in summer). It is a condition crap shoot in “season”.
The lobster at Sid’s is wonderful. We have always had BIG lobsters there - perhaps George ordered the kiddie meal? Smile. Really like the lobster tacos. and the ribs as well. They don’t rent cars there (and vehicles are in short supply) so you really need to rent one in advance and have it delivered there (hard to do if you don’t really know what conditions will be until day of arrival).
If you are allowed to proceed here by the charter company, and the conditions are right, follow cruising guide directions carefully for entry. Watch the reefs to either side. And station someone up front for lobster pot look out. There are a LOT of them in the area and you absolutely don’t want to foul one here.
