 Marina Puesta Del Sol : Profile
Marina Puesta del Sol (Lat. 12 37'17" N Long. 087 20'30" W) is located on the north Pacific Coast of Nicaragua just south of the Golfo de Fonseca. El Viejo is the nearest large town, about 30 kilometers away. The marina is 10 miles by sea from the major port of Corinto, but some 40 kms over land. Marina Puesta Del Sol is located in a lagoon called El Estero de Aserradores that is fed into by two rivers and reached by a deep channel. The entrance and channel to the marina are well marked and can take drafts up to eight feet at low water (up to 13 feet at medium water).
The marina is an official port of entry with officials present on site. Marina staff monitor VHF Ch 16 during office hours. If arriving from a foreign port, clearance must be made with immigration, customs, and port authorities. The marina will make the necessary arrangements for this. Yachts arriving from Nicaraguan ports do not need to check in. Entry clearance fees are US$15.00, exit US$25.00, Tourist Card per person US$7.00, zarpe US$15.00 and international sailing permit $25.00. The zarpe will be required from previously visited countries.
