The anchorage described below by Captain Cole would seem to lie near 25 46.903 North/080 10.152 West. This is NOT an anchorage that we currently have listed on the Net’s “Eastern Florida Anchorage Directory,” and would very much like more information on these waters. If have anchored here, or sounded these waters recently, please click the “Comment on This Posting/Marina/Anchorage/Bridge” link below, and share your information.
In studying chart 11467, it appears as if reaching this anchorage may be something of a challenge. Looks like the best way would be to cruise up to the western end of the Government Cut Inlet, then cut north through the easternmost section of the MacArthur Causeway Bridge (vertical clearance 35 feet), and then hook around the little island labelled as “Momument” west of marker #2.

Anchor between Watson Island and Palm Island about 300–400 yds North of MacArthur Causeway–this will put you in area with other anchored and moored boats of all types about 200–400yds east of small sailing club on Watson Island. Dingy to east about 2 to 3miles and go up canal to Publix(this is written up in Skipper Bob’s).
