Rum Cay-Port Nelson

  • Location: Rum Cay
  • Lat / Lon: N 23° 38.420' / W 074° 50.600'
  • Depth: 6-9 Feet
  • Description:

    The anchorage lies between the house with the shiny roof and the dock at Port Nelson, which will become apparent as you get closer. Make your way in, eyeballing as you go, then turn toward the beach if you want to be closer to Port Nelson. Don't go west of Cotton Field Point. Check your chart and use caution for the charted submarine cables that run southwesterly from the settlement.

    DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
