    • On-site Report on Gordon Pass Navigation into Naples, FL


      Gordon Pass is the primary inlet serving the Naples, Florida region and shoaling is a perennial problem as shown in this 2015 Nav Alert. Our thanks to SSECN Team member, Curtis Hoff, for this on-site report.

      At least one cruising site [/155155] recently noted the Coast Guard planned aids to navigation changes in mid-February for Gordon Pass into Naples. As of yesterday the aids to navigation are unchanged and shoaling is still a concern in the channel. A call to TowBoatUS resulted in the following guidance:

      Enter from the south between R2 and R4 on a course of 060 deg aiming for 1/3 of the distance from R2 to R4. Note this puts R2 to port as you enter.

      I entered yesterday following this guidance saw a minimum of 8 ft at a +1 ft tide.

      See the following graphic for a visual representation of this guidance.
