Posted on behalf of SY Juliane:

We filled our tanks on our way to Colon from the San Blas in the Turtle Cay Marina for free (!) at the petrol station, the water you get is river water so expect a little algae and river taste… We originally planned to stay there a night, but reconsidered as we were told that the management had changed. The marina is dead empty, we got no answer on the VHF (Channel 72), there is showers and coin washing machines (cold water only), but everything looks a bit neglected.

The Wi-Fi however works okay and we would have enjoyed surfing a bit longer if there hadn't been so many sand flies and mosquitos, so we left after filling our water tanks.

Excellent service on Turtle Cay Marina (Nombre de Dios, Colon, Panama), if you want to have a good time, it is the right place... Free water, wifi, fuel dock, beautiful beach, in one word: paradise. Yogi and Samanta will be happy to receive you.

About Turtle Cay 09*35´.9N;079*26´.47W. I agree it is a beautiful place and Yogy, Teresa and Samantha are lovely people, but management of the Marina have increased the prices in 2014 +40% (from 321$ to 535$). Services are not finished yet (no showers). I had to move my boat to http://panamarina.net/ 09*36´.9N; 079*36´.7W, where you can find a safe mooring field paying 270$/month for a 37´footer.
