That is pretty steep. <br/>However, other sailing areas come close, if you think that e.g. in the BVI, you pay a park fee also, and in most anchorages, you pick up a US$10-$20/night mooring...<br/><br/>What I liked is that kept the large cruising-crowds away, so we had beautiful anchorages like Little Bay and Sandy Island all to ourselves... :-)<br/><br/>P.

What were you charged for the various government fees? Did you purchase a cruising permit? Few cruisers visit Anguilla because the fees and charges are so high.
