Anchorage Review for Fort Montague Bay
Reviewed by: Earl Libby, Wanderer, on Apr 3, 2025
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 50'
Draft: 6.0'Overall Rating:3Holding:5Wind Protection:2Current Flow:2Wake Protection:1Scenic Beauty:3Ease of Shopping:4Shore Access:3Fort Montague Bay anchorage water depths are variable across the bars from the north channel to the armored beach areas. We noted no concerns with holding on the sand. There is little protection from east southeast winds. The long east southeastern fetch allows waves to build 4-6 ft (1-2m). We anchored here for provisioning at Harbour Bay Shopping Plaza, less than 1.0 km along East Bay Street on the south side. Ferries and tourist boats use the SE dock areas during the day with accompanying wakes. The Nassau Fish Market is an authentic Bahamian open air market.
