Approach

The entrance channel to the port is narrow but well marked. If help is required to navigate up the channel, call for assistance on VHF channel 13 or 16.

Marina

The marina is very well sheltered, even in a hurricane. It is small, however, with approx. 10 slips for transient yachts, all Med mooring, some with your own anchor.

The marina is rather isolated so a hire car is probably a good idea for re-provisioning and getting around. Obtaining food in the next town (Sta. Lucia) is possible on a limited scale. Holquin is 20km away.

Diesel is available and some repairs are possible. Marina management speaks good English.

Note: Marina Puerto de Vita is on the OFAC list of banned marinas and American citizens are prohibited from spending money to stay there. See this report for more information.

Anchoring

There is also an anchorage with a water taxi service.
