Boating

Sucia has 48 mooring buoys, two linear moorage systems and two docks. These are found at the following locations around the island:

Dock 2 is removed from October -  April to prevent storm damage. Mooring buoys remain in place all year. Anchorage is available in all the bays and coves, there is no fee for boats riding on their own anchor.

The bottoms are generally sandy mud, but in some locations eelgrass and seaweed may make setting anchor difficult. 

This park offers phone in buoy registration. For instructions, visit the Boating Moorage page.
