Ballast Bay

✨ Hidden gem

Ballast Bay is a remote and sheltered anchorage just south of Christophe Harbour, with good holding in mud and sandy bottom and solid protection from easterly swells — no rollers to keep you up at night. You'll have plenty of swinging room and a front-row seat to some seriously impressive superyachts passing through. Drop the hook and the snorkeling here is worth the swim, with some of the best underwater scenery on St. Kitts right on your doorstep.
