Beach Bags will stay connected via the same number previously established. Text them when you depart the marina. And be sure keep them updated about any unforeseen issues impacting your confirmed schedule. They’ll do the same. 

 As you approach the established meet-up destination, hail your Beach Bags Anchor Crew on CH 16.

It may take a moment for them to respond, especially if they're wrapping up a previous job.

Rest assured, they've connected with thousands of houseboats this way. All without missing a beat.

Knowing where to go and finding a great location can be stressful. Don’t worry. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or new to Lake Powell, they're your partner on the voyage.

Customer Scout - Find a location suitable for Beach Bags prior to your scheduled meet-up and we’ll anchor you there. Send them a GPS ahead of time or show them your paradise when you connect.  

Co-Scout - If the Lake’s a bit crowded and nothing’s looking good, their Crew will use its insider knowledge to co-scout with you for up to 30 min and recommend the best of what’s available. Options can become limited during peak season (mid-June through mid-August), but the Crew’s intimate knowledge of the Lake gives you the scoop on the cream of the available crop. 

Pro Tip – The early bird gets the worm. Houseboats typically depart their on-lake locations at the start of the day. Picking an early anchor time or sending up a scout improves your site selection options.   

**Beach Bags does not reserve locations in advance of your arrival. Any site selected prior to our scheduled meeting time must remain occupied by your own gear and someone from your crew until your Beach Bags Crew arrives. 

Maintaining your anchorage

It's A Team Sport - We're Partners At Powell

Beach Bags anchorages are engineered to hold your houseboat in +60 mph broadside winds. They’ll get you moored professionally, safely, and securely. They will also properly attach and tension your anchor lines, and share tips and tricks for maintaining your anchorage. That’s their job, and they love doing it.

You have a critical role to play in keeping your family, friends, and property safe and secure too–it's how our partnership thrives. As the Captain, and boss of your boat, it’s critical you diligently implement the mooring maintenance information we share with you. Always:

• maintain proper bow position
• maintain proper anchor line tension
• be aware of rapidly changing conditions
• respond quickly and accordingly
