Rum Point Basin – Atlantic City NJ

/ shellerina

To the left is the large Farley State Marina at the Golden Nugget hotel and casino. To the right is Rum Point Basin anchorage. The wide Absecon Inlet is close-by towards the bottom of this image.

This basin does not look “inviting” on some chart sources showing 2.9 feet. But friends (Mac & Gene) told us that this Rum Point Basin to the right IS doable. Troy of Melody also said it was being dredged Fall 2022 so they could not try it out. Stay to the LEFT (grassy side) going in.

We came in 1 hour after low tide, (so nearly 12” of water above MLLW) we saw no less than 6.9 feet of water today around 2:30pm.

We dropped the hook in about 6.5 feet. We’ll certainly stay here again.

The red arrow is our position.
