Anchorage Review for Delaware Bay General Anchorage #4
Reviewed by: Lee Rumbles, Full Circle, on Jun 23, 2025
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 40'
Draft: 6.0'Overall Rating:4Holding:5Wind Protection:4Current Flow:3Wake Protection:2Scenic Beauty:1Shore Access:1Cell Service:1The anchorage is good - great holding, 6-25' depth, big anchorage. Here at the start of summer and there were no other sailboats in any of the three anchorage options. I guess it wasn't a surprise given how industrial the whole waterway is. Hate to say it, but I'd avoid the Delaware bay/river if I can in future.

Anchorage Review for Atlantic City

But it was fine - room to maneuver was better than I was expecting and a good hold. There were four or so boats anchored and that felt like plenty. Boats were staggered in their anchor drop which seemed necessary as we all sung around over night. The noise from casinos was loud and clear. That didn't stop me from a good night's sleep!

Anchorage Review for Cape May Harbor East

On paper and reading reviews, I wasn't sure. We went past and rounded green #7 and dropped anchor in line with other sailboats. Really tested the anchor hold and it held all night. In the end, about 10 sailboats anchored all in a line paralleling the channel. The boat traffic right in front of our anchor spot was nuts! So many boats and a lot of noise but no problem. Kind of like a parade. Good anchorage spot.
