We've been twice, May and June. Over the 3 day weekend for Memorial day in May there were a lot of boats rafted up but we still had plenty of room to anchor. In June much less crowded. Due to the PR economy many have mentioned that there seems to be fewer of the large motor yachts out and about. Unless you hit a popular place on a popular holiday you'll be fine. We spent most of our time at anchor alone in most places. A few places you can learn just how good a sound system can be but those are the day trippers. Late afternoon they all go away and it's been my experience the big boats usually have grandma, the parents and the kids aboard and it's lights out pretty early.
