 Utila : Profile
Puerto Este (otherwise known as Utila Town) lies the easterly end of the island. One can anchor east of the concrete town dock, in the area off the fuel dock
(marked by two high, cylindrical, white tanks); alternatively, the area farther to the east, inside the harbor’s protective reef. Another anchorage is available west of the Municipal Dock, near the easterly end of the town’s beach.
Port Captain and Immigration Officer can be found in their offices on the town dock during weekday working hours. Documents required are: a complete crew list (four copies in Spanish), the passports of all on board, a copy of ship’s papers and a small clearance fee. There is a bank just across the street with money exchange and cash withdrawal facilities; photocopies can be made at the Internet Café on the Main Street just west of the town dock. No Customs clearance is required.
