Fort Bay (Fort Baai) - Clearance
See Saba Formalities for full details on clearing into and out of Saba.
In bad weather, it may be necessary to carry on to the more protected anchoring area on the NW side of the island, between Ladder Bay and Well’s Bay, where several moorings (yellow with blue stripe) have been laid for visiting yachts. Make sure you get a taxi telephone number, so you can get back to Fort Bay from there for clearance.

We used our inflatable to get from Wells Bay mooring field to Fort Bay. A little bit of a rough ride, but doable. No one locks up their dinghies here. Also, bring a stern anchor or tie up your stern to a mooring ball at the dinghy dock.
When we were there, the resupply ship came on a Thursday (but usually comes on Wednesdays). It does not significantly add to the boat traffic in the area, as there are usually a few dive and fishing boats coming in and out.
Don’t even THINK of using the dinghy to travel from Well’s Bay to Fort Bay unless you own a powerful rib and it’s a flat calm… One can access the island from the landing at Well’s if you get the phone number from a taxi driver at Fort Bay.
