We will provide a picnic lunch.
Hurricane Moorings
We have six 3,000-pound granite block moorings and one 5,000-pound mooring located on the east side of the island near our main pier. These moorings are attached with 1 1/8” bottom chain and 1" nylon top gear and are inspected annually. Larger boats landing at the float on the eastern side of the island should contact staff on VHF 16, and limit themselves to unloading and loading only. Hurricane has a small dingy that is available if you need to travel between your mooring and the float. There is a suggested donation of $15 for picking up a mooring for the day.
Anchoring at Hurricane Island
Anchoring is welcome on the East side of Hurricane Island. The bottom type is sand and gravel, with depths ranging from 20-80’ depending on tide and location. Please stay clear of anchoring in the mooring field, staying North or South of it, and take care to stay clear of Hurricane Ledge, which skirts the East side of the mooring field.
