St Mary's Harbour

St Mary's Harbour sits at the heart of Hugh Town, the bustling capital of the Isles of Scilly, making it the archipelago's main maritime hub where fishing boats, inter-island launches, and visiting yachts all share the same waters. You can pick up a visitor mooring or anchor off, with harbour control reachable on VHF 14 or by phone. The setting is hard to beat — step ashore and you're straight into Hugh Town, with shops, pubs, and the kind of remote island atmosphere that's genuinely tough to find this close to the mainland.
