Anchorage Review for Rodriguez Key

Reviewed by: Lyle, Bacchus, on Feb 20, 2018
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 42'
Draft: 4.5'

We stayed three times, twice on our way south from Miami to Marathon and once on our way north back to the Miami area. The wifey has said never again!

We've had winds N, NE, E, SE and S and it was not real pleasant. We tried to get close to the mainland when a north wind but anchor was dragging on rock. We gave up after an hour of trying and anchored further out. The holding there all 3 times was very good but the ride was rough.

Early in the morning on two of the occasions several fishing boats left their harbors and created substantial wakes when running close to us. Not sure why they did when it would have been easy to give way a little but they did.

Marina Review for Boot Key Harbor City Marina

Rating: 5

Agree with the other users that the marina is nice and the staff super helpful. I would add the mooring field is huge, well protected and comfortable in a blow.

There are many wonderful restaurants, lots of the good ones are not on US1 but rather on side streets. If you visit please get off the "beaten path" and enjoy the places the locals go.
