There are quite a few NPS mooring balls at both Scott Beach and Honeymoon Beach that bracket the Caneel Ferry channel.

And if they are all taken, you must anchor behind the mooring field...

I never heard of an "unless" rule in STJ mooring and it's 60'

Thanks for the correction it is 60'.
What terminology do you suggest to replace "Unless" ?

none, anchoring is not allowed in the national park area, which is clearly defined in their map

"Mariners must use moorings in park waters if they are available and the vessel is appropriately sized. If all moorings in a bay are occupied, anchoring is permitted following NPS guidelines."

That would be two hundred feet to seaward of the mooring field and only in sand, in the north shore bays. South shore bays, no anchoring unless your vessel is 16 ft or less. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Kiss.gif" alt="" />
