To Dockside By Private Vessel

Oak Bluffs Harbor is reached via Vineyard Sound just southwest of East Chop and the Vineyard Highlands. From Vineyard Sound, a green and red can buoy first serves to keep mariners off of a rock pile southeast of the inlet. Oak Bluffs Harbor itself is announced by flashing red "2," which is prominently placed on the north breakwater to the harbor. Depths in the inlet are at least seven feet, and aside form some heavy recreational traffic at times, the passage is easy to follow and normally fairly calm. Use NOAA Chart 13233.
