What is the deep of Hawk Channel south of Miami? How far can 5 1/2
boat make it to the Dry Tortugas.

Which way have boater gone south, Hawk Channel or Florida Bay route??


We usually take Hawk Channel because it is considerably deeper than
the Florida Bay route. Hawk Channel averages about 15 ft in most
places and is never less than 10 ft. The Florida Bay channel is
barely over 5 ft in many areas, sometimes less at dead low tide.
