About
Gren-Moor is a brand new mooring field located just north of the world famous Grand Anse Beach in Grenada. Grand Anse is Grenada’s premier beach over 3 kilometers in length and about 5 kilometers south of St. George’s. The turquoise waters and the white sands offer a great place for fun and games. The moorings are just off Mount Pandy Bay which is only 5 minutes by dinghy to St. George’s, supermarkets, fuel, water, and more.
Your stay and safety are especially important to us. We provide well maintained moorings. Come moor safely with us and enjoy your stay.
Conveniently located, we currently have 30 moorings and will be expanding to house 80 moorings. With several attractions close by, Gren-Moor could be a great location to provide a base for your stay and enjoyment. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Reservations can be conveniently made by using the Dockwa application.

Love Grand Anse. I think that they could do a better job of ensuring either that anchoring is outside the mooring field, OR, if inside, you have to pay just like a mooring ball. And, I hope that they install more balls to make it easier for everyone. Additionally, they have to have data (not just what they say) on the condition of the balls and when last checked.
Gorgeous spot, great team, perfect location to enjoy Grand Anse beach and surrounding spots! Close to the market and other services. Enjoy!
I sent a note last time an no one responded but will send a new one again. The Grenmoor field is very inconsistent .. my last stay it was great but a friend (to whom I recommend it got there and all the balls were taken even though he had paid for one with a reservation …. I sent not to this effect. I also sent a note to grenmoor as I had a reservation for Saturday and Sunday Dec 7&8 and when I got there something happened to me no ball available even though I paid…. I am waiting for someone to respond either from them or you and if I don’t here the. I’ll make sure to spread the word to the cruising community to be wary of your service and probably not to use it
The location is very good for access to the services of St George's. It can be quite rolly. The pickup is not easy in blustery conditions as there is not a pennent and the mooring line terminates in a metal thimbled eye.
There were no mooring balls available when we arrived at 2pm. I sent a message to Docwa immediately asking for a refund, still no reply…
First, moorings are fine. 3 stars is for poor presentation and communications. When you "reserve" a mooring at St George's you are not reserving anything. You are merely signing up for the convenience to pay online. Moorings are first come, first gets. You may have a rez and there are no moorings when you arrive. You can anchor, but you pay the same fee. Messages sent to GrenMoor were ignored.
No balls were available when we arrived at 7pm. No balls are still available. We have requested a refund for the 2 days paid. We have received no refund or response.
Another great stay on the moorings at St George’s! Love the convenience to town, restaurants and local amenities. \nJunior is fantastic to deal with and we always feel secure here.
Junior Cuffie keeps a great mooring field. His style of ball is one of the best in the islands. Easy to pick up. Good size anchor. We will be back.
Update October 26th. Stayed 4 nights all good, was nervous about the moorings as there are less of them off no name beach and there was a face book report of a boat coming adrift due to mooring failure. Management here should communicate the situation via Dockwa as the profile is dated and theres no reassurance as to the integrity of the moorings. The checking payments called at the boat at 06:50 this morning to ask if we have paid. Why cant they check on line and just call on the boats that havent paid. Most annoying, an irritation most days but today, other than this its been a good mooring location and convenient for dinghy to St Georges, Grand Anse and the marinas. Beautiful beaches a short dinghy ride away. Easy booking on line through the Dockwa app.
Moorings are well maintained and easy to secure. We are in a very nice area also. We can get into shore in about 5 minutes.
This is an open mooring field that is fine if the winds are out of the east and there is not much swell. The blocks holding the mooring balls are not anchored and do move around, so beware in any heavy weather. Location wise, its excellent with quick dinghy access to Port Louis and Grand Anse Beach.
Just a quick visit to Grande Anse for an overnight with friends. Love the convenience to the beach.
Excellent mooring buoys and well maintained. Great access to the marina and services.
Well maintained, well spaced balls. Open to north or south swell, but protected from prevailing easterlies.
Nice location. Clear water. The moorings look to be in good shape. The price is reasonable. A pennant would make connecting to the mooring so much easier.
Quiet place with moorings close to the marina with dinghy dock.
A bit noisier than we expected but otherwise good calm conditions.
I hate to be forced to pay fir a swing mooring where I could anchor for free.
We stayed on mooring for a week, little rollie but that is our experience everywhere. Convenient location to visit Port Lois Marina, St. Georges and Grand Anse beach. There was a couple of tug working boats anchored there that had a compressor going day and night, irritating. Also the boundaries for anchoring are not enforced, there where always 2 or 3 boats on anchor within the mooring field.
We finally figured out which mooring ballad are for larger boats. The balls in the shore side are closer together than the balls to seaward. Seaward blocks are likely heavier as well for 60’+ yachts Nice clean anchorage and solid mooring buoy Easy access to town by dinghy for shops, chandlery, food & garbage disposal Try the small bakery near the road entrance to PL Marina. Excellent cinnamon buns and brown “seed” bread baked fresh daily. There is a Rasta guy with a small stand (amd a goat) who hangs out in the main road at marina entrance who has the best fruit, including cocoa ! Small stand but worth buying from him for quality (and price)
Mooring was good, sea was rough and rolly. Web site confusing, paid first segment by etransfer as i thought i was told, Gren-Moor never received but it came out of my bank account. Paid a second time, not happy because of web site and duplicate payment
Easy to book and pay online…saw the mooring being dived on this morning…very reassuring!
Online reservation and payment was great. Location and quality of mooring balls also great.
Our stay was excellent and Junior was friendly and helpful.
Great moorings and a good view of the New Year’s Eve fireworks. Bonus.
Current vs opposing wind conditions can make for a lively time grabbing the ball. Mooring ball in good shape and well anchored
Very efficient. App is user friendly, even for a digital import. Handy location, but never still.
great place to moor right near St-George. Only a few minutes away by dinghy and very quiet..... just a bit rolly.. Junior dropped by to make sure all is alright, super nice guy...
Excellent mmorings in good condition. Felt comfortable to leave the boat unattended. Short dingy ride to St George.
Excellent mooring balls. Great location with easy access to town.
Good to have mooring balls in that place but balls not easy to catch and best would be real reservation (with ball number)
Moorings are plentiful and in good condition. Area can be rolly when north swell is present. The dinghy dock at Grand Anse is not useable when a swell is running. Dockwa reservation was confirmed within minutes.
No issues , couldn’t pay in full on website for the day we arrived will hopefully see owner an pay in person etc .
The Dockwa site gave us trouble with payment. Otherwise, all great!
Always a great experience! Junior is friendly and professional!
Buoy difficult to grab because line comes up through the buoy. However once on a very solid mooring.
All good. Nicely maintained mooring. We were still in the same spot when morning came so what more can I ask for.
Super Clear Turquoise water, turtles are swimming around our boat. Very calm, very convenient place to stay!
We made a reservation for a mooring but none was available. In fact you don’t reserve anything when using Dockwa. If there happen to be one available then Dockwa is convenient to pay. Moorings are otherwise nice. But we had to anchor
No ball was reserved or available for us. They told us that they could not control boats who just arrivr and pick up a ball. We have not been refunded and in fact we were charged for an extra night. Very unsatisfactory.
Very easy to book a mooring and also easy to extend your stay. Some of the mooring balls are missing a pickup line making it difficult to secure the mooring
Anchorage calm and quiet and close to town. Ferries and barges do come by. It was a little hard to grab the mooring line as there is no tether. the eye of the thimble is metal so i wouldn't want to spend more than a night or two here so we don't ruin our mooring line.
Well spaced moorings with easy access to St George's and Port Lois dinghy docks for shopping.
A pleasant stay and a good location. Close to the harbor with access to the town and marina.
By far the cleanest, cool breeze and less rolly anchorage. The stores are within walking distance of all the different free dinghy docks. It is right next to the fuel and water docks and loads of restaurants.
We booked a mooring ball and payed a deposit. It was confirmed and we got a confirmation number but when we arrived there was no mooring ball available. I will not be using this service again😔
Only place to stay outside of St George's. In the Catamaran it was not rolly. Plenty of space in August.
Well managed beautiful mooring field
Access to beach, town, laundry, chandlery and more. Be ready to party Sunday nights with the local Soca music on the beach ;)
We were here for 3 weeks. The moorings are in good shape and are periodically checked. The water is clean enough to swim, and the breeze is great. There are some rolly days, but tolerable on a catamaran. Junior is a pleasure do business with. On the negative side, there should be some kind of arrangement with the marina on trash disposal and daily use of the dinghy dock. Docking the dinghy at the marina is a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, if you are not there for immigration purposes. If you ask the marina, they will want you to pay. They watch you from the office window to make sure you are paying for each bag of trash.
Mooring ball was good however the music from the bar was so bassy it vibrated the boat and went on till 3am.Also rolly when we were there.Location good for dinghy in to town or port louis supermarkets.Shame the noise spoiled our stay.
Beautiful location. Close to harbor entrance and Grand Anse beach. Take the dinghy to the dinghy dock at Sails restaurant in the harbor for a great dinner. Grand Anse Beach also has a dinghy dock at the Craft and Spice Market which give you great access to the restaurants and services on the beach. Moorings were in good shape. Nice breezy spot.
They maintain the moorings so you never have to worry about breaking loose.
Altough our reservation was accepted, none of the moooring balls were available. At the Marina we were told to wait until another boat has departured. We had to anchor for 2 days. We are Not happy!
Moorings are well spaced, easy to pick up and affordable with great access to PLM and Grande Anse beach. Excellent!
Very pleased to have got a mooring at Port Louis last week. We had four stress free nights. They are easy to pick up with a loop that slips through the buoy which means we didn’t have to make too many attempts. The mooring guy who came out was very pleasant, though needs the patience of a saint to deal with some of the boaters we saw, who didn’t want to pay anything to be on a well maintained mooring. They are not expensive at all at 15$ US a night to save the sea bed which was previously destroyed by anchoring. Check your lines though , we did find that our new lines got chafed through a bit by the metal eye.
Wish all mooring fields were this spread out, convenient to book, and well maintained. Will definitely be back.
We've had a wonderful time during our stay on a mooring ball in st. George's bay. We are close to port louis side this time. Maybe being here during the week its been exceptionally quiet and calm seas. Easy access to all amenities, customs, shopping, bus and beautiful grande anse beach. We're enjoying it so much we are going to extend our time. Junior the owner of the Moorings has been excellent. Easy online booking and payment process.
I’ve have used Gren-Moor on multiple occasions. Junior has been very professional and enthusiastic to work with. SV BELLA, USCG Captain Patrick Cummings
Great location just off Grand Anse. Easy access to the beach restaurants and marina. Downside is the mooring balls are difficult to grab. No lines to reach with a boat hook. Some have enough slack but difficult in heavy winds.
Great mooring area, especially for staging to enter St George.
location well placed in relation to the historic city.\nBut very rolling. \nThe boat ''Miss Guadeloupe'' or 'Miss Martinique', a former French passenger carrier serves as a night club and becomes extremely noisy in the evening.
Excellent. I paid for an extra day because I forgot to sign in and pay one earlier. Just wanted you to know! Doug & Beth
The payment for the buoys is NOT in local currency (XCD - East Caribbean dollar) !!!\nThey charge you in US dollars but Grenada is not in the US !!!\nIt's not legal !
Very rolling night with a NW wind. The mooring thimble had swivelled around so that our warps jammed in the V shape that should have been facing down into the splice. We had to cut our mooring warp free of the thimble in the morning
The guy who advised us that we cannot stay at anchor was very agressive and and advise us that he could give us a fine of 10 000 EC$ as it is a marine park. We did not find that this was a park...
Securite buoy, far away from each other Very kind people , easy to reserve
Good distance between the mooring balls. The gentleman that manages them is always so friendly and full of valuable information about Grenada.
Good sheltered mooring field. Dived mooring and is very solid and good condition. Only down side was very loud music on nearby beach, but it was Independance day so understandable.
Will not be back. At least the thimble was in correctly this time. On a beach, locals started blasting their music around 6pm -12am+. It was so loud we could not have a conversation, watch TV, sleep etc. We were not even in front of beach and about as far away as you could get. I don't mind people listening to music but no need for it to be so loud. We would have left but it was to late and had already paid online for mooring. We had originally thought about staying a few days but lesson learned. It was very miserable night.
Nice mooring field. The balls are spaced out generously so boats are not crammed on top of each other. Good privacy. It does get a little rolly but nothing uncomfortable.
We stayed on a ball for a night to check in to Grenada. I would say the balls are overpriced with no facilities offered at all. I would expect as a minimum to be directed to a dinghy dock and be offered rubbish disposal.
I heard stories of how hard it was to pick up the painters on the mooring balls down this way. My shoulders were aching at the thought. Surprise surprise it was super easy to pull it up to me and my lines. We are on a lagoon catamaran so we have high free boards. Lovely mooring field location and no aching shoulders. Win win :)
Previously free anchorage now filled with moorings. Rolly most nights.
Good strong mooring. Long dinghy ride to town. No included services. Mooring field was almost totally empty. We thought you had to take a mooring, but more boats were on anchor just behind us.
Amazingly strong Moorings. The outer ones are a bit difficult to grab as the rope is long and thick and does not float. You need someone strong to haul it up. The inner smaller Moorings are much easier to grab.
An excellent mooring. Many thanks in particular to Junior Cuffie who took great care of us.
Mooring balls were new. Lines are huge and new. They are secured to concrete block 4 or 5 feet on a side. These are the best moorings I have ever seen anywhere.
Mr Cuffie is a warm and very kind professional, he appeared only at the second day we’ve arrived. Payment is easy and done by internet, but you have to book, even been there two days ago. This could be improved on the website. Mooring is very safe - I’ve checked personally - even to big boats. Line was clean, what suggests it has been used very frequently. The negative aspect is just because the size of the line and it’s robust hand, what could be a little bit difficult to get from the de deck using an average hook. Besides this. We’ve had an absolute safe night. For US$15/day could have more than this, like garbage disposal, this would be very fine.
great stay - thinking of staying a few days more....... The Reef is really reviving! Great life aquatica
Junior was very helpful and polite. It was a pleasure to be there.
Original assignment was Non Q mooring. Upon arrival several commercial trawlers impeded selection of mooring. Also their daily running of generator/engine was not peaceful. As several Q Moorings were open we moved to that area for duration of stay. However a very pleasant experience.
Too expensive : Very far from any point of interest. No accommodations or service attached. Mooring line too light for a medium vessel. However : Friendly welcome ( Junior ). very easy and efficient booking and payment on Line. Almost positive experience.
I would rather Anchor, but boats 40 and under don’t have the choice.
Only there for one night, but the mooring was in a good spot, between Grand Anse and St. George's harbour. Overnight was fine, a little rolly, but beware any kind of northerly swell, which would make this uncomfortable. Had to fiddle with the mooring ball because the ring was on its bottom, but we got it. Short dinghy ride to Grenada Marine for easy fueling (both petrol and diesel) and there is a dinghy dock directly across the street from both Food Land and Island Water World marine, which makes this mooring more valuable. $15 was a bit pricey, but for a one-nighter it was fine.
First of all this mooring is easy overt over priced. One could stay in the marina for about the same amount and with tons more amenities. The ring of our mooring was installed upside down and made it difficult to pull the rope through because of the pinching. The staff are friendly and courteous. But the price of the moorings should be adjusted or offer something for that high price.
Excellent field of moorings. I happened to read a couple of other reviews and to their gripes, one can only respond, “you don’t get out much, do you?” I found their blocks and lines in excellent shape and of appropriate size to hold a vessel up to 50’. The water is clean, we had great cooling breezes, and it’s pretty quiet despite being close to the city area. The gentleman from Gren-Moor who came to check the field was friendly and able to provide information.
Excellent in almost every way, except the ‘thimbles’ are always under water! Conventional pennants would be most welcome.
To come out and assist whenever a yacht enters the bay would be a progress. This should happen before the anchor dropped. I would have done heavier concrete blocks for the moorings ... not so sure they won't drag in heavy gusts. The website or email messages Dockwa could be done better ... does not fit in properly on my email client which is W10 standard. To resize the logo would help already.
I snorkeled to check the buoy and it appeared to be new and in good shape, easily able to hold our 18 ton sailboat. The bay was nicely protected with a lovely view of the island. The buoy attendant was helpful while we were in quarantine. Highly recommended.
