Anchorage Review for Vero Beach

Reviewed by: Mike on Dec 4, 2023
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 42'
Draft: 5.5'

Vero Beach City website says anchored boats can pay mooring fee and use facilities. After I paid for 3 days mooring I went and anchored and harbormaster called me and said anchored boats can not use facilities even if paying for mooring. He wanted me to pay 2 dollars less a day for just dinghy dock no marina facilities.

  The following is from the Vero Beach website.
  
  You may have heard we have raft vessels, and this is true. During the busier parts of the cruising vessel season (OCT-APR) we may raft up to 3 boats per mooring. This of course depends on the size and type of vessel along with prevailing weather conditions. The reason we have done this for almost thirty years is to accommodate the large numbers of vessels that visit our area. If you are uncomfortable with rafting, some vessels have been anchoring just north of the field. The only hitch is that you are not allowed to use any of our facilities (dinghy dock, showers, laundromat, etc.) unless you pay the mooring fee.
