Puntarenas - Docking

Jul 10, 2018

The current in the estuary runs at several knots, so take care docking and tie your boat securely. Long term anchoring is not recommended, there is really no good dinghy access and the shoreline is rough and dirty, with quite a few alligators.

Entry and exit into the marina, even during high water springs, are a challenge to vessels drawing more than six feet. The pontoons are very short in length and are subject to strong tidal flow. A number of slips are restricted in use by the positioning of steel pylons reducing stern to mooring availability. There is limited slip space for deeper keeled vessels.

This marina cannot legally provide long term accommodation to foreign-flagged vessels with a Permisode Permanencia.
