  Water is fresh.The marina charges $8.00 per day for anchoring inside the basin, care must be taken to keep the route to the landing doc in Coakley Town clear for the large ferry that arrives once a week. there are several moorings, which the marina charges $10 per day for.
  
  There is a strong current that turns twice a day which makes anchoring less desirable than a mooring or the marina.
