Anchorage off Key West, Florida, near Wisteria Island, with a sand bottom and shelter from N through NE winds.
Guide
Approach and anchoring
Wisteria Island, also called Christmas Tree Island, lies north of the Key West waterfront. Anchor in sand west of the main ship channel, in depths around 8 feet, holding well enough but open to most other directions. Currents run hard and the steady boat traffic makes the anchorage lively.
Practical
A & B Marina lies 1.1 nm N in Key West Bight with a fuel berth and deep-water berths for large vessels. Galleon Marina is also 1.1 nm N. Bring the tender into the Bight for provisions and the shops and bars of the old town.
