Puerto de la Estaca - General Info

Jan 10, 2023

Description:

This port lies on the east coast of the island, towards the northern end. It is easy to reach El Hierro by yacht from the other islands in the archipelago but the return trip can be a little unpleasant due to having to sail hard against the wind.

Entrance Notes and Cautions:

There are no navigational obstacles but keep a watch for outgoing ferries.  The area intended for yachts is in the northern part of the harbor and the entrance is well marked with lights.  While the entrance is wide, it can be cramped with numerous boats on moorings in the middle of the yacht basin.  Note that in a southerly wind, there may be swell in the harbour.

Position:  

27° 46'48"N, 17° 54'06"W (harbor entrance)
