Welcome to Elizabeth Harbour! The Elizabeth Harbour Conservation Partnership (EHCP) is a registered Bahamian non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors. The mission of the EHCP is to guide the ecologically sustainable development of the coastal zone and waters of Elizabeth Harbour with the aim of enhancing tourism, fisheries, and recreational use through stakeholder education and participation and collaborative management of harbour facilities for the benefit of present and future generations.
The EHCP manages two new mooring fields off of the east end of Stocking Island. Both mooring fields are in protected waters in the lee of Stocking Island in deep water, and are approximately a 10-15 minute dinghy or water taxi ride to George Town.
If you’re looking to be in the middle of the action, the Gaviota Bay East (GBE) mooring field is the place to be. Located adjacent to several beach bars and restaurants, you will only be a short dinghy ride to fun! The GBE mooring field has 21 moorings that can accommodate up to 60 ft / 18 m vessels.
If you’re looking for a quieter setting close to nature trails and snorkeling, the Sand Dollar Beach (SDB) mooring field offers beautiful scenery adjacent to Moriah Harbour Cay National Park, but is still within a 5 minute dinghy ride to beachside food and drink. The SDB mooring field has 43 moorings that can accommodate up to 60 ft / 18 m vessels.
Moorings are by reservation only, and can be reserved for daily, weekly, and monthly stays online. We will do our best to accommodate special requests. Currently, there are no first-come, first serve moorings available. Mooring fees must be paid in full once the reservation is confirmed. Check out before 12pm. Check in after 2pm. Reservation requests will be confirmed on the same day if made by 1pm. No wet storage available.
Please refer to our website for mooring field guidelines and tie-up instructions, and additional information. Terms and conditions apply.
PLEASE NOTE: We are now accepting reservations for the 2024-2025 season. Reserve your mooring starting November 1st.

Easy to use and so close to all the hot spots
New moorings are in excellent condition. Our stay was fine. But, as an experienced boater I am in a better position to decide which mooring ball I want. There were maybe 6 boats here. Plenty of mooring balls we would rather have had than the one assigned us. It would be nice if, like buying theatre tickets, be able to see available mooring balls and choose what you want. Also, the speed boats must be policed and taught that you NEVER speed through a mooring field. My wife fell on the stairs from the wake of a water taxi. This should NOT be allowed.
The moorings were excellent. My only issue was the constant extreme waking of out boat by the local boats.
Finding and picking up our assigned mooring ball was easy. They are clearly marked and the website's map was very helpful when "blown up" on my cell phone. Instructions are very clear regarding how to properly attach. Balls are well spaced to keep boats up to 60' long safe.
First time here. Love it.
Easy to reserve, quick responses, easy to find our ball number, balls in good condition and easy to grab.
Great location and moorings well maintained
The folks at Elizabeth Harbor are very accommodating with requests. We appreciate that!
Great stay in a beautiful location. Marina staff was very quick on responses. Pleasure to deal with. Thanks!
Very nice mooring. Buoy clearly noted. Administration easy and cooperative. Place is a little crowded.
Mooring balls are clearly marked &well maintained! Fast response, accommodating and courteous! Opportunities: Enuring the center console and speed boats know not to go fast thru a mooring field. Watched kids playing off a moored boat almost get hit by someone ripping thru... Ensure anchoring boats in the mooring field are monitored to keep the predetermined swing range. Or disallow anchoring in the mooring field altogether, especially overnight.
Great to not have to worry about some yahoo anchoring too close. Also, the moorings turn over very quickly and are readily available. I was afraid people would plant themselves for the season. Not happening. People wait on the mooring for a favorable anchoring spot. Holding well in storms too.
This was our first stay at Elizabeth Harbour and it corresponded with some big weather- lightning storms and winds with gusts up to 50+. The mooring was excellent. It held perfectly and no one in our mooring field had any issues. We will definitely stay there again when traveling through Georgetown. The communication through Dockwa was also excellent.
All good for the storm we weathered and my engine issue! All repaired and good to go!
Easy to book, great mooring. Lots of space between moorings.
Arrived and somebody was on ball 30. Picked up another ball, then Bradly helped me relocate to 31. No problem
It's a mooring... it held well in solid 30 plus winds
Mooring is well spaced out and very accommodating. They are very responsive via text.
We stayed on ball 25 for couple months Jan-Feb-Mar and appreciated the monthly rate as well as the quality of the mooring equipment. They were very responsive via the Dockwa messaging.
Moorings are in great shape and very convenient to Chat n Chill. We keep coming back!
Everything went well. Always enjoy the Georgetown area. Use Hastenyacht for yacht deliveries 😀
perfect and easy ! just take care that not other boats anchor so close to us ( mooring ball #63 ) We thought it’s forbidden to anchor in the mooring field?
Great! Wonderful spot.
Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkklllllllllllkkkkkkkk
Very sturdy moorings, great customer service!
Balls are well marked with numbers and have floats (they’re new so we expected this 🙂). Close ding to Chat n Chill, Peace and plenty Beach club, etc. Would stay here again.
My stay was wonderful. Your staff was very helpful as my husband has to leave three days for Nassau for a medical surgery. I have explained the situation in your chat. And a very kind lady help me to change my moorings for another one very close the Sand Dollar beach and sent to me two young men to help me. They were so kind and they have also the idea to bring me some foods. Just WOW. Thank you so much for our fantastic staff
Great views at Sand Dollar #34. So easy to book and great communications. We will return.
We enjoyed our stay. We felt very safe and secure on our mooring ball. Thank you
Good mooring. Bit too much exposure to prevailing winds but never worried about holding.
We reserved through Dockwa and requested a certain mooring field. We had a quick response from the reservation team and got a mooring in the requested field. We extended twice and again the reservation team responded in minutes. Great service, solid moorings spaced adequately. Direction on tying to moorings was very clear. The only negative were boaters anchoring to close to the mooring field. It appeared the staff did try to police this and had boats move further away. I would definitely stay again.
Nice new moorings - right in the middle of everything, like they say! Four stars instead of 5 because of the sheer number of high-speed dinghies and small boats zooming through, even after dark.
Excellent! Very accommodating and worked with me when our schedule had to be altered. Love Sand Dollar!!!
Staff were on the ball with my reservation which was extended twice. Moorings looked in great shape. Nice spot.
Nice place . Good mooring. Much confusion. Arrived after check in at 4 PM. There was a boat on our assigned ball and no one on the boat. We picked up the ball next to it. Messaged and called the marina for direction/assistance with no response. Played musical balls for rest of weekend
Very nice spacing on the mooring balls and felt secure. The quick response was very good
I liked the mooring balls and the fact that they help the sea bed to recover. It's nice that the BNT is striving to protect the natural habitat whilst still catering for boaters. I did not like the number of boats that refuse to use the balls and insist on anchoring just outside the field despite balls.being available. In many cases they were anchored in front of the field near the beach. There did not seem to be anybody policing the area and unfortunately there are disrespectful boaters out there. It was only $29 a day for a week,little to pay to help protect what we all come to see and enjoy!!
Solid mooring, which held well in all winds and directions. Sand Dollar Beach is beautiful and the mooring field close to the beach is protected even in NW winds
Good response when someone was on my mooring! Thanks!
Easy to use. Great access to Chat-N-Chill.
New moorings are excellent. We rode out the “blow”. 30-40 kt in 60 foot trawler. No issues. Moorings are well spaced and have a heavy pendant. The pendant eye is a bit small for two larger lines but works ok. Service is prompt through Dockwa messaging
Moorings were great. My only concern was that boats anchoring encroach on the channel in to Stocking Island which forces high speed shuttles to cut through the mooring field. At one point we witnessed one of them hit and unoccupied moorings. Otherwise, a great experience.
Moorings are new and in great shape. I stayed for a week and felt secure.
Very rolly anchorage. Nice to have new gear for the heavy winds. Mooring all held very well. Thanks.
Great new moorings. Stayed here for a blow (36kts gust) Solid.
Everything was easy to schedule and the management was very responsive to communication. There was a minor maintenance issue in the mooring field while we were staying here but it was handled quickly and professionally.
