PASSAGE ISLAND SISTERS ISLAND

There are limited but good anchorages around Passage Island. Superb fishing, diving and snorkelling here.

PASSAGE WEST
20 miles from Chiryatapu

Position yourself due north of the southern point and due west of the small rocky point on Passage Island. (If you look carefully you can see a sand patch here which is clearly visible in 18 metres of water.) Anchor in the middle of this sand patch. There is excellent fishing, diving and snorkelling here.

PASSAGE EAST
19 miles from Chiryatapu

Anchor in 20 metres clear of the reef on a sandy bottom.

THE SISTERS
22 miles from Chiriyatapu

Anchor to the north-west of the southern point of Sisters. This is a great anchorage during calm weather (March and April) but it is very rolly the rest of the time. There is a pristine white coral and sand beach here with some spectacular rock pools at the north eastern end of the beach.
