Report on Banana River Anchorages, AICW Statute Mile 914
These two anchorages are on the waters of extreme southern Banana River, north and south of the charted Mathers 7-foot swing bridge departing the AICW at statute mile 914.
We spent several days here this April, anchored between the abandoned home on the Point and the yacht club in 15+ feet, in windy conditions. Great holding. Although Anchorage Yacht Basin, the marina directly at the entrance to the anchorage, no longer offers a dinghy dock because of misuse by cruisers several years ago, we used a sandy beach just east of the marina, with no problems from law enforcement. The marina said this spot is used all of the time. Must be because there is a well worn path up to the street, right past the No Trespassing sign.
