Can I drop anchor anywhere in St. John? - Boating

You can drop anchor in every bay around St. John except for Cruz Bay because there is heavy traffic there due to the ferries coming in and out. However, it is important to note that you can only do so for a number of hours and not overnight without paying a small fee. This is because they are national parks that the island is trying to keep less crowded. By charging a small fee, it keeps the traffic in these bays down.
