Double Breasted Cays South Anchorage

27° 11.4′ N · 78° 16.3′ W

The overflow anchorage along Double Breasted Rocks, used when the inner anchorage is full or too shallow. You get the same scenery with more swing room.

Practical

ActiveCaptain position. Enter from the south and run north-west along Double Breasted Rocks, going in as far as depth and swing room allow; room for 4 or more boats. Open to the south (a lee shore if the wind goes south), and rolly in prevailing conditions outside the cuts; holding is good despite a swift, reversing current, so set well or use two anchors, as it is close to a rocky shore. Grassy patches made setting difficult for one boat in a west wind (2017). No Wi-Fi; 2 bars BTC 4G. Pre-Dorian reports (2013-2018).
