Guide

Approach and anchoring

Lies on the GIWW just inside the Venice inlet, which gives direct deep-water access to the Gulf of Mexico. Roberts Bay is sheltered; keep to the marked channel as the bay shoals outside it.

Practical

History

The club was founded in 1951 by a group of Gulf Coast boaters. The Venice Youth Boating Association, a youth sailing programme, began here in 1952. Roberts Bay takes its name from Robert Roberts, who settled its southern shore in the 1870s.
