Bartica - Docking

Mar 20, 2023

There are several "resorts" where yachts can anchor close by. None are particularly commercial and each offers different views of the local wildlife; exotic birds and butterflies, sloths, parrots, monkeys etc.

In particular, Hurakabra, Banganara and Shanklands are very welcoming, helpful and offer a range of facilities. Banganara is the only one open over the Christmas holiday period. Hurakabra (see anchorage in below photo) is run by Raj Ragbeer and offers a great many services for cruising boats.

One thing to remember is that the afternoon rain storms are often accompanied by winds of F5 or more, although the anchorages in the river are safe and the holding is good.

Medium sized coastal traders and large tug/barge combinations navigate the River past Bartica. When anchoring off Bartica ensure you are well clear of the channel and are well lit at night.
