Navigation
This pass has a bad reputation among BVI charter yachts of being dangerous and frequently avoided by charter yachts. A buoyed channel has been established between Saba Rock and the Bitter End. The channel is dredged to 2.4 m. This route leads to the far east of a large basin protected by a sizable bank of coral running until Oil Nut Bay. Here, anchorage is not permitted but buoys are available. If you want anchorages for your charter yacht, you can find it north of the Eustatia Sound when coming from Saba Rock. Here, depth is about 5-6m.
General Information
The Pass to Eustatia Sound between Saba Rock and Virgin Gorda is treacherous. It does not get too many visits by charter yachts and is appealing only to experienced sailors and occasional day charters.
What to do in the Pass to Eustatia?
The reefs provide some beautiful snorkelling. Some of the Corals were damaged in the hurricanes, but the underwater aquatic life is impressive and abundant. It also offers good opportunities for parasailing.
