The yacht club is now closed, however, it is possible to anchor next to the jetty in 9m mud, good holding. This location is close to the heart of the city with a short dinghy ride across the river into Old Recife. Finding a safe place to put your dinghy once you get there however is difficult. Alternatively park the dinghy on the YC pontoons and walk along the sea wall back towards the entrance, where at the big monument, you can get a ferry across to old Recife.
