Bimini Construction Channel

• Lat / Lon: N 25° 45.211' / W 079° 16.485'
• Depth: 6-8 feet
• Description:

  This man-made basin (which shows in some charts/maps as dry land, so it may help to look at a recent satellite photo) is about 600' diameter with 10-12' or more depths all around. The bottom is sand/muck mixed with rubble that provides good holding, especially with the all-around breakwater. There is enough room in here for 6-8 vessels, although 4 is more comfortable. One should take care to stay out of the channel which runs east-west through this basin (there is little through traffic as of Feb 2023). Closest shore access - aside from tying up at the resort - is about 3/4 miles down channel near Smitty's Beach Bar & Restaurant.

  DISCLAIMER: Before committing to an anchorage, you should confirm that the location is not governed by a regulation that may conflict with your plans. An increasing number of states and municipalities are enacting laws that define where and how long you may anchor.
