Antofagasta - Docking

Apr 04, 2023

The Yacht Club pontoons have once again been destroyed by winter storms (quite common).

Until repairs can be affected, visiting yachts are directed on arrival to the two mooring balls (fore and aft tie) near the Muelle Salitrero (the restored pier in the centre of the harbour).

Good protection and very helpful staff in the yacht club.

It is worth trying to hail the yacht club on VHF Channel 16 if you speak Spanish, however, yachts have reported having to shout to hail the "Lancha" for assistance, and getting no response on the VHF.

The yacht club has a launch, but your own dinghy would be better.

Non-potable water available from a long hose from the yacht club. Clean fuel available from stations in town using jerry can. Yacht club can assist with obtaining large quantities.

Laundry, excellent provisioning, and Sodimac Home Center in a nearby mall.

There is a travelift here which is believed to be operational.  See Related User Comments.
