Puerto Montt : Profile

Clearance

Entry and exit papers are cleared at the Amada office in Avenida Costanera. Contact must be made on arrival. Puerto Montt Radio monitors VHF channel 16.

An expensive health inspection may be required if clearing in to Chile at this port.

Docking

The best mooring and anchorages are in the narrow channel between the mainland and Isla Tenglo. There are three marinas with floating pontoons and buoys. This area offers good shelter and the holding, in mud, is good.
