COME AND REST AWHILE!

Welcome to Anchor House – Your Home Away from Home at SeaPort Manatee!

To all seafarers arriving at SeaPort Manatee or working at the port, welcome! We understand the unique challenges of life at sea and are here to offer you a place of rest and renewal. At Anchor House, you’ll find a welcoming space where you can relax and unwind. Enjoy our on-site amenities, including pool tables, a TV with movies, comfortable couches, and a concessions area serving refreshing drinks and mouthwatering burgers.

Getting to Anchor House
In line with updated port regulations, seafarers are no longer permitted to walk on port grounds. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Just give us a call, and we’ll arrange transportation to and from Anchor House, ensuring your visit is as smooth and hassle-free as possible.

Need Supplies? We’ve Got You Covered
If you’re in need of personal items or supplies, our shuttle service can take you to Walmart or other nearby stores. Reach out to us via WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, or email to check shuttle schedules and availability. Ordering from Amazon? Let us know in advance, and we’ll help coordinate your deliveries.

Let’s Stay Connected
We’d love to connect with you! Our team also conducts ship visits and can arrange a time to meet you onboard.

Spiritual Support and Worship Services
If you’re seeking spiritual encouragement, we offer shipboard worship services. Let us know if you’d like to host a worship session, and we’ll gladly set it up. Inspired by the love of Jesus Christ, our mission is to serve and support you. Whether you have questions about faith or simply need a helping hand, we are here for you—no matter your background or beliefs.
