Anchorages

Anchorages that suit the wind.

Saaristo shows anchorages and tells you whether a spot is sheltered, partly exposed or difficult in the current wind.

The Saaristo app map showing sheltered anchorages by wind direction.

Wind, swell and alternatives in one view

An anchorage is not picked from a chart symbol alone. Wind direction and strength, the swell and the nearby alternatives all decide whether to stay on the hook or carry on to a guest harbour or a natural harbour.

Saaristo helps you find sheltered anchorages and compare them with natural harbours, outdoor harbours and service harbours. One map shows the options that make sense for your route.

What to check about an anchorage

Anchor or harbour? The call gets easier when shelter and alternatives are on the same map.

By the wind

A spot's shelter reads quickly against the current wind.

Several types

Anchorages, natural harbours and guest harbours are in the same search.

Services in reserve

If the anchor is not the best option, you see the nearby service harbours.
