January 6, 2026 : 72ft motor yacht Tribar. We left Saunders yard in Gulf Shores at sunrise and made Cat Island about 45min before sunset and watched a Beautiful sunset over Cat Island. We cruised at 9 knts most of the day. Don't get over zealous and try to get close to shore! The bottom comes up quick. My wife loved the anchorage even though we didn't have time to launch the dinghy and go to shore. Lots of dolphins playing as we anchored. Winds were out of SW 5 to 10.

Holding was good, but you're pretty far away from the shore, so you get some wave action if there is wind if it's not pure SE. Not the best anchorage, but not bad.
