Corpus Christi - Docking

Jan 01, 2017

Dockage is plentiful for yachts of all types in and around Corpus Christi Bay. Take care when navigating in the bay and follow channel markings carefully. There is a heavy presence of oil rigs and production platforms in the bay. The bay can also be somewhat shallow and spoil ground or other underwater obstructions are common outside the channel.

Deep draught vessels should always stay in the channel. The bay is relatively shallow.

Strong northwest winds can cause the water level in the bay to be extra low. Take extra caution when navigating in these conditions.

Anchorages are scarce in the Corpus Christi Bay, but outside of the bay and near the barrier islands, there are some viable anchorages. Remember, never anchor in a navigable channel and always use anchor lights at night.
