Acapulco : Profile

Clearance

Yachts can either anchor outside or arrange a berth in the yacht club marina. The yacht club facilities can be used by visitors and the yacht club can arrange clearance facilities for a fee. For those who prefer to do the formalities themselves, these can be very time-consuming as the offices are spread out all over town, and the distances are great.

Docking

The name of this city is probably well known to most people, and is famous for its beaches, night life and other holiday attractions.

The bay, around which the city stretches, is sheltered, but very busy with all types of water craft. There is a small marina tucked into a corner of the northern arm of the bay and another, larger one at Las Playas.
