Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 46'
Draft: 5.0'An extra comment… on exiting we were able to radio the bridge operator on VHF 09 and ask him to open the bridge right up. Which he did and there was a lot more clearance. Also, when we radioed 'West Bay Bridge' the operator responded as 'Osterville Bridge'. I hope this helps folks planning to visit.

Draft: 5.0'Hail bridge on VHF 09 not 13. We are a 46ft catamaran with a 27ft beam and it is very narrow. Try to stick to Port on entry into North Bay.
