Docking
The best mooring and anchorages are in the narrow channel between the mainland and Isla Tenglo. There are three marinas with floating pontoons and buoys. This area offers good shelter and the holding, in mud, is good.
Marina Costa de Huelmo is a new marina (2015), 40 kms (24 miles) south-west of Puerto Montt opposite the island of Huelmo. While it is very small, cruisers report that it’s very reasonably priced and friendly (see Related User Comments ).
