Turneffe Lagoon Anchorage (deep-draft position)

17° 18.1′ N · 87° 48.3′ W

A sheltered spot inside Turneffe's eastern reef that Ventura Yacht Agency reports has water enough for 10 ft draft, used by superyachts drawing 10 ft and 3.2 m.

Practical

Position as published by Ventura Yacht Agency: 17°18.055'N 87°48.274'W, 'just north of Turneffe Flats', inside the reef; the agency also gives Turneffe Flats lodge itself at 17°25.74'N 87°48.63'W, so treat the description loosely and verify on approach. Take a guide who knows deep-draft boats - many local guides only know 4-5 ft boats. Extreme care not to drop anchor or chain on coral. Calabash Caye is a few miles south on the same side.
