Anchorage Review for Lafayette River
Reviewed by: Craig Longcor on Jun 16, 2025
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 45'
Draft: 5.3'Overall Rating:3Holding:5Wind Protection:3Current Flow:1Wake Protection:3Scenic Beauty:2Ease of Shopping:1Shore Access:1Pet Friendly:1Happy we found this quiet anchorage. Great holding with good wave and wind protection. Anchor came up clean. We came into Norfolk from the south on the ICW during heavy storms. Every anchorage on the ICW was packed so we continued to this location.

Anchorage Review for Hampton River Downtown
Reviewed by: Craig Longcor on Jun 16, 2025
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 45'
Draft: 5.3'Overall Rating:1We did a "drive-by". One Catamaran and one small monohull were anchored which didn't leave enough room for us to feel comfortable. Did not drop anchor.

Anchorage Review for Niles Channel - Ramrod Key
Reviewed by: Craig Longcor on Feb 24, 2023
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 45'
Draft: 5.3'Overall Rating:2Use caution chart depths seem to be inaccurate. We made it between channel markers 5 & 6 before our 5.3 draft started touching bottom. We were close to low tide but still...? Aqua Map and and Navionics show MLLW at 6.8. Abandon the plan for Niles Channel and continued on to Boot Key dodging crab traps in the dark.
