Guide

Approach and anchoring

Entry through the marked Key West Bight channel. The mud bottom holds well once the anchor is dug in. The spot is sheltered from N and NW winds and exposed from the southern half.

Practical

A & B Marina and Galleon Marina both lie 0.4 nm to the SE, two blocks from Duval Street. Water is available ashore. A & B runs a fuel berth with diesel.

Ashore

Old Town Key West and Duval Street are a short walk from the bight quays. The Historic Seaport boardwalk along the bight has restaurants, a chandlery and the schooner docks.
