Review for Canton

Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 40'
Draft: 3.7'Overall Rating:Holding:Wind Protection:Wake Protection:Scenic Beauty:Ease of Shopping:Shore Access:Cell Service:Good holding, but be prepared for filthy black mud anchor on retrieval topped with plastic bags of all nature. Great location for short tender ride to public dinghy dock. Dock is in rough shape tender fenders or chaps recommended. Had a nice school of rockfish come through here and caught and returned numerous. Only one size one landed. Safeway is across street from public dock so easy shopping!

We left before a big storm rolled through. There are so many shops & resturants. West Marine is a short walk. Very pet friendly

Reviewed by: Deborah Poltonowicz, Triton, on Nov 3, 2018
Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 58'
Draft: 4.5'Overall Rating:Holding:All was fine until the storm came in the morning. 30 knot winds pulled our anchor right out. Two sailboats experienced the same situation. We got slamed right into a long dock long slip. Talk about lucky stars, the dock hands just so happened to be there. The two sailboat boats departed. Two other boats that slipped anchor were able to reset. Easy access to store, West Marine, and such. Beautiful spot! I would recommend it for lesser winds.

Old style hardware store one block uphill from grocery store. Modern yuppi restaurants on Boston Street and old Irish pubs up the hill in Canton. We look forward to visiting the area. Some waves from SE and wakes from fast boats slowing down in No Wake Zone at Fort McHenry.
