New Haven Bight Anchorage
16° 15.1′ N · 88° 35.6′ W · approximate
A protected mainland anchorage in a bay inside the Port Honduras Marine Reserve, a quiet stopover between Placencia and Punta Gorda.
Practical
Position approximate: inside the bay named New Haven on OpenStreetMap. Soundings: protected, no boatyard or moorings (the former Hard Luck Charlie's boat yard closed); reserve fee paid to rangers (US$10 per person per day reported c. 2005). The OCC notes (1997) mention a marine railway here for 1.8 m draft and 17.5 tons - assume it is gone. Punta Ycacos lagoon lies just north.
