Anchorage Review for New Turkey Key

Followed previous reviews and came in at high tide and anchored in 7.4 ft water. This anchorage is not protected. Beautiful with a small beach access but not protected. We will never return here because of the bugs but mostly because we were inundated by black moths. Disgusting. Leaving the next morning the tide was getting low and we had 3.5 feet of water.

One night stay in December 2024. Dockmaster Brandon really helped guide us to repair a serious steering problem that could have held us up for days. Hadn't stayed at Rose since before pandemic and our slip was great at A dock. Clean facilities. Appreciations to Brandon the Dockmaster.

Stayed for one night on 5/31/24. I think Gramma Dots has the best food. Dockmaster really helpful. Dolphin show at the entrance of canal. The canal will be dredged in the next couple of weeks. No diesel, but that's OK. Nice location.

Great stay for 3 nights. Dockmaster very helpful. Amenities great; free breakfast, free beach towels, use of pool, free washer and dryer. Just didn't have their showers yet. Stayed here more than 10 years ago when chartering a boat from SW Florida Yachts and loved it then and loved it now. Will go there again.

Beautiful location. Very helpful with docking, setting up electric, helping us rent bikes for the afternoon. Rode the bicycles into town. Good stop. Recommend.

Not friendly, had attitude when helping us tie up in the wind with 6 lines. The slip was the most complicated tie up we've ever experienced for a transient slip. Island Grille restaurant at the Marriot was excellent. Bathrooms clean. Wouldn't go back and would not recommend.

Loved this unexpected stop. Crabby was anything but crabby. Taylor was swift at helping us dock , gas and pump out. Beautiful spot. Walked to the Gulf and watched the sunset. Had GREAT Thai food. Can walk to beach restaurants and Winn Dixie. Marina bathroom and shower is really clean. Laundry on site. Very chill and pretty spot.

Watch the parade of boats as you're docked, Walk to town and many places, great walking, only negative is that private planes are taking off every few minutes on Sunday, very noisy.
