Every anchorage, anchor berth and mooring area we could find on the open map — the sheltered spots where vessels lie at anchor or pick up a mooring buoy, across every continent — in one sortable, searchable worksheet. Click any column to sort, click any row to open its detail card, and jump straight to the spot in Google Maps or fly there in Google Earth. Built entirely from open data: © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Working harbours & ports live on the separate Harbors page.
Sorted by country, then name. Use the search box to filter the entire dataset by anchorage name, country, or region; use the type chips to narrow by category. For speed the table shows the first 500 matching rows — search to narrow to the anchorage you want.

Type key: anchorage a charted area where vessels anchor · mooring a mooring area / buoy field · anchor berth a designated single anchor berth. Every row links out: “Maps” opens Google Maps at the coordinates; “Earth” flies there in Google Earth (web).
Every anchorage and mooring on this page comes from OpenStreetMap, the open map of the world built by hundreds of thousands of contributors. We query the public Overpass API for nautical features tagged as anchorages and moorings (seamark:type=anchorage, seamark:type=anchor_berth, seamark:type=mooring), de-duplicate them, and capture each one’s coordinates, country, region, type, and any charted depth. Nothing is fabricated. Where OSM doesn’t record a name we either synthesise one from the locating region or leave the feature out entirely; where it doesn’t record a detail, the cell is simply left blank.
Coverage and detail vary by region exactly as the open map does — some coastlines are mapped in fine grain, others sparsely. Found a missing or wrong anchorage? The fix is to improve OpenStreetMap itself, and it will flow through on the next refresh.
