Punta del Este : Profile

Clearance

On arrival one should tie up to one of the municipal moorings. There are plenty of mooring buoys in the municipal marina, which can be hired for a daily fee which includes a launch service. Officials do not normally board yachts for clearance. The marina office can be contacted on VHF Channel 71, but the captain has to go ashore and visit the offices. Immigration is in town, open 1300-1900; in the summer season the officials are in the harbour office.
