Jack Point – Gasparilla Island Anchorage – We used this anchorage on the way south to spend the night out of the North East winds. We found this anchorage to be as stated and a superb spot. The water depths were about 6′ all the way in and very well protected. There are several markers that lead up to the small bunch of boat slips which provided a nice way up into the cove. The holding was excellent and offered great protection from the wind. I highly recommend this anchorage!!
