Koniya
Koniya is a small town on the south end of the island. Visiting yachts moor in a small basin constructed for visitors just to the left of the bridge alongside a wall next to a small park (see photo below, courtesy of Jim Patek). Well located but subject to surge from the wakes of fishing boats.
The town has a good supermarket and several restaurants and it is possible to hire a car here. A circumnavigation of the island can be done, by car, in half a day.
Atetsu Bay
Not only is this a very beautiful bay it is also a typhoon hole with several large moorings. It has been reported that two yachts rode out a typhoon here whilst tied to their moorings.
Naze
This is the main city on Amami Oshima. Moorings are available on the wall in the old Naze port at Nagahama offering good protection inside the main breakwater and with plenty of space. The city is about 1nm away. There are no facilities at the port.
Anchorages
There are several anchorages off Kakeraojima, which is just south of Amami.
