Navigating Biscayne Bay
Biscayne Bay, FL is a coastal waterway in Florida, and this page collects what Navi Wake knows about navigating it. The waterway is charted for routing, which means Navi Wake can plan a path across open water that stays off the land and follows the channel instead of drawing a straight line through a peninsula.
We hold 2,326 charted navigation aids on Biscayne Bay. That breaks down into 1,064 channel markers, 900 marked hazards, 158 lights, and 204 special-purpose markers. We also chart 44 public boat ramps and 41 marinas on the shoreline, mapped separately from the aids above. Depth coverage comes from 7,028 surveyed soundings and 1,304 depth contours, which is what lets the chart shade the shallows.
