Marina Cayo Largo - Docking

Approach

The channel to the marina is buoyed but is both shallow and narrow in places (see useful report April 2013).

Anchoring

There is plenty of room to anchor in the outer bay with shelter from the North and East.  Yachts at anchor do have to pay a fee here (as with Cienfuegos and Casilda).

Marina

The marina serves the many local hotels with tours and ferries to the best beaches.

The marina is made up of a concrete dock that runs along the shore with three long floating jetties extending seawards, all with 8m finger pontoons attached.

The first jetty as you enter is for locals. The second jetty is for international visitors with the larger berths closer to shore.

Available water is not potable and the power supply is extremely variable (reported to be more "off" than "on").

There is a plan to dredge the shallow lagoon beyond the jetties to make a hurricane hole.

Ashore

There is fuel available here at a modern fuel dock around the corner from the marina, a bar/restaurant, a small convenience store that sells a few expensive staples and a decent selection (for Cuba) of wines and spirits. Fresh bread is also available, but it must be ordered from the marina store for collection the next day. 

There is a bank (but no ATM) and a post office.  The Internet is available by the usual Cuban 1hr or 5hr cards and there are daily flights to Havana.

Restrictions

Note there is no fishing permitted at Cayo Largo. There are game wardens on duty and they will confiscate your equipment if they catch you fishing.
