Description:

Santos lies some 230 NM SW of Rio de Janeiro and is Brazil’s biggest and most important port. The city lies partly on the island of St Vincent, and partly on the mainland. This is not an attractive stop, but useful for repairs.

Security

In December 2017, a cruiser, single-handing, was sailing up the river to Santos at night when he was boarded by five armed men who approached the boat from a fast dinghy and robbed at gunpoint.

Position:

23°59.51’S, 46°19.25’W (river entrance)

    Yacht Storage/Haulout Near Rio De Janero.
    Recently we hauled 36ft KiwiDream at MCP Yachts in Guaruja ,Santos,Sao Palo.The experience was the best Ive ever had in 25 years of hauling out.
    Correspondence,safety,facilities,hardstand,haulout and boat movement are all first class .They have 150 ton travel lift,the biggest in South America and can haul catamarans.
    There was no issue living aboard while we undertook repairs and antifouled etc.
    Safety and security are excellent and everything is procurable in the town material supply and engineering wise,a ten minute bike ride/short taxi away.
    While MCP is primarily a yard for manufacture of beautiful aluminium yachts and maintenence on superyachts,they are extremely accomodating make space and time for sailors and the little guys and can supply labour or advise on services needed locally.
    It is a family owned yard and they are sailors as well hence the welcome you will recieve
    I cannot recommend MCP Yachts highly enough,in our case we felt the pricing was very fare.
    MCP also has marina berthage/storage facilities available.Contact Damien Chaves the manager cell +55 013 974044454 email [email protected] in the first instance. SY Kiwi Dream Sept,2019.
