Comment by: Mark Baker on Mar 20, 2026
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 37'
Draft: 5.0'This is a tricky spot for sure - low speed is advised through this stretch. Note that in a brisk NE or E wind, depths will be below recorded.

Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 37'
Draft: 5.0'Having passed through again in April 2020 - the depths here appear deeper - as confirmed on recent charts. I measured 6 feet MLW. I believe that Cotton Key Basin was scoured out by Hurricane Irma.
