Be aware that the mooring field has annual renters, so if a mooring buoy has a small buoy attached to it that will be an annual renter. Do not use. Also, be aware that if you anchor outside the mooring field, the dinghy dock at Key West City Marina Garrison Bight is not available for you use. You will have to use the dinghy dock at Key West Bight Marina.
