Anchorage Review for Matanzas River R18
Reviewed by: Trevor Buhler, Beyond, on Jun 2, 2021
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 46'
Draft: 7.0'Overall Rating:4Holding:4Wind Protection:3Current Flow:3Wake Protection:3Scenic Beauty:3Ease of Shopping:1Shore Access:1Pet Friendly:1Cell Service:4WiFi:1Worked well for us and our 7’ draft.
Pros: Big anchorage w/ plenty of room for 8-10 boats, or more. We found lots of deep water and anchored fairly close to the channel in 16-20’ depths. Good holding with 75’ of chain and not a lot of movement with the current. Stiff breeze meant no bugs. Good for a quick overnight stay.
Cons: 4 abandoned boats anchored here, kinda creepy. Had lots of Boat wakes during daylight hours, but it was a holiday weekend. No place to go for fun.
Would definitely use it again.View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer

Anchorage Review for Blount Island

Plenty of room for others but we were alone at the end of May. Didn’t think we could get into the free Sister Creek dock and much better and bigger than the anchor across the channel from them. Decent wind protection from east and west, not much traffic and zero after 6pm. Anchor stuck well with 70’ chain.
