There is alot of water for sailing in Charlotte Harbor....but you need to really keep up with the depths and your position. There are areas where there is ample depth, and there are areas where you can walk in waist deep water at high tide. But Charlotte Harbor is a pretty big body of water. You might want to take a look at the charts before you sail there.

Also, if you are entering the Harbor from the Gulf, and especially from the north....make sure you go out to the outer marker before you turn in. Do not take any short cuts into the channel as there is alot of shoaling on the north side of the channel, and while powerboats might take alittle short cut in by the shore on the north side, I don''t recommend it for a sailboat....that water is very skinny.
