Location

Position 28º40’ 5” N, 17º45’ 8” W.

Clearance

Arriving yachts should proceed into the new marina. On arrival the skipper should report to the port office (during office hours 0800-1430).

Port Office
Tel:922 412121, Fax:922 420732, VHF Channel 16 (office hours), 71 (Security 24hrs)
The office is located in the low Port Authority building across the road from the main harbour gates.

Docking

A new breakwater has created a sheltered area in the northern part of the harbour. The outer side of the new pier now acts as a ferry dock.

The entrance to the new marina is on the western side, near the Club Nautico. Reports from cruisers state that there is a constant surge so try to berth as far into the marina as possible.

The Club has installed one long floating pontoon which has water and electricity on it. Boats should come stern to this pontoon by picking up one of the mooring lines that have been laid. If the marina office is not manned, docking fees may need to be paid to the club.

Port fees are paid at the Port Captain's office.

Yacht Clubs

In the harbour's recent redevelopment, the small bay and beach next to the yacht club have been filled in to provide storage space for containers, so that the yacht club is now marooned ashore. The club is famous for its hospitality, and now welcomes visiting yachts who are berthed at the new marina. Temporary membership is included in the marina docking fees and full use of the facilities at the club are permitted.
