Private yachts are always welcome in Braye Harbour, an excellent stop-over en route to Guernsey.

There are 64 yellow visitors' mooring buoys, and it is possible to raft up on these in good weather. All other mooring buoys are private, and should not be used without permission. The anchorage in the middle of the bay has good holding ground in sand, but there are areas of rock and weed. Towards the entrance of the harbour, the bottom is generally more rocky. Because of the tidal range at Springs (up to 6.9 m), a good scope of anchor line should be used, especially if anchoring in shoal areas. It is not permitted to anchor in the Fairway or close to Braye Jetty, or to tie up to Braye Jetty without permission. The mooring charges are £10 per day for the buoys, and £2 per day for anchoring; these charges include use of the showers. Mainbrayce Chandlers run a water taxi in the harbour, June - August 0830 - 2400; April, May & September 0830 - 1800, but later by arrangement (see telephone & VHF radio). The charge for this is £1 a head each way. The harbour launch patrols the harbour most of the day during Harbour Office hours.
