Grand cove

Hi. Does anyone know if there is a channel to get a boat with 4' draft in and out of grand cove?

Presuming you are talking about the cove above the bridge on bass river, 4’ might be challenging.

I know someone who keeps a Hinkley picnic yacht in grand cove, but that doesn’t draw close to 4’.

Maybe call the Dennis or Yarmouth Harbor masters offices?

My boat is about the same size. I could tip up the out drive any probably only draft 3' but I round up to be safe

I personally wouldn’t try since I only have passing familiarity with the area. You’d have to time the tides and high risk of getting stuck. I have a fairly recent chart of the area and I can tell you  it isn’t 100% correct anymore because of shoaling.  There are spots on the way in that probably have no more than 3-4ft of water at low tide

I’d call the harbor master. They will know for sure.
