Best Overnight Moorage Secret Cove

[pescador]

Planning a trip up there mid August. Its been years since I've been there. Anybody know the best place for overnight moorage? 27ft Overall length. I want to be as close to the RVYC moorage as possible as I have friends staying over there.

If it is a "secret" cove - how does one find it, even? Hmmmm....

I like staying at secret cove marina myself, close to go fish Epsom or Upwood

Do you have any idea how far that is to the RVYC dock?

Not sure but think it’s where the red mark is and secret cove marina is other red mark

The RVYC docks are only a few mins up arm to starboard upon entry to Secret Cove. If you are looking for transient moorage, stay with Scott and his crew at Secret Cove Marina on the port side arm. They have a well stocked store and fuel. If you want to be on the hook then stay in either Smuggler's Cove or in Buccaneer Bay. All are very close to Epsom Point. Your friends can register you with RVYC and you can raft up as a guest boat too.

You should go to the dock at Buccaneer Bay Marina (middle channel in Secret Cove) and buy some live bait and mooch off Epsom, that's pretty much all that's been happening up there, at least it is well worth the experience and had been performing better than trolling.

Thanks.

If you have the weather, it is well worth the ride over to sangster island to fish the reefs.
