It is possible to anchor anywhere in the harbor but keep clear of the channels and the exclusion area in front of the Antigua Yacht Club and Falmouth Harbour marinas.
All yachts at anchor in Falmouth Harbour must pay local harbour fees and all yachts visiting marinas within the National Park area must pay harbour fees in addition to marina berthing fees.
A comprehensive list of anchorages is available from the Antigua and Barbuda Marine Guide.

Just cleared in English Harbour. 7th February 2016
We are moored in Falmouth, we went ashore with our dinghy and 10 minutes walk we found English Harbour
The custom and immigration office is open Monday to Sunday 8 am to 4:45 pm.
I suggest to arrive with the eSeaClear form completed already, otherwise, there are computers available in the office.
I completed the entire process, custom, immigration and port authority for the cruising permit in less than 30 minutes.
Officers were friendly.
Falmouth Harbour Antigua Update for Noonsite March 2015 from Wapiti
We were anchored in Falmouth whilst waiting for our watermaker to be repaired and charges were as follows:
Port entry permit $16US
Park entry fees $16US for two people.
Anchoring fee $1.32 per foot $57.00US
Park fees $1.50 per day per person
Refuse fee $0.50 per day per person
Total bill for 28 days $209US. The only facilities provided were garbage removal
Town water had to be bought from one of the marinas. It appeared to be contaminated and had an unpleasant smell.
No gasoline (petrol) was available in Falmouth as the only gas station had closed.
There was a good and cheap bus service to St. John’s and all other parts of the island.
There is “duty-free” shopping in St. Johns but prices for alcohol may be higher than in the local supermarkets.
Car hire is readily available but Antigua, along with a number of other West Indian countries, has adopted the money-grabbing exercise of charging for a local driving license which makes short term car hire relatively expensive.
