Description:

Lying on the eastern shore of Canal Senoret, the town is a useful stop for a visit to the Balmaceda and Serrano glaciers. It is only a few miles from the Argentinian border.

A new marina is in the planning, however, no work has yet started. A new boatyard is due to open here, but in December 2016 there was still no travelift.

Position:  

51° 44’S, 72° 31’W

    The news in Natales is good
    There is a new marine travel lift 50T operating with a water depth of 5m
    Opening date is Nov 2016.

    In the meantime vessels can be taken out of the water by a 50 T local crane that can lift boats onto the main pier and transfer them to a trailer or short-term work can be done on the pier itself. There is space in the hard stand area for storage and/or work.

    We have been now a week here. There are several places to pull out a centre border or a cat. Not yacht style, so if a skipper has experience then no problem. There is a fishing co-op that has a big gallon and larger hardstand area. Getting out here with a crane is easy.

    The closest crane is in Punta Arenas 3 hours drive. Fee is as always paying for the transport time. Getting a few boats together to share the cost would work. Especially in late season when the wind drops.

    This is a great place to be on the hard for the winter. The town is very nice. It is quite international now. The Costanera has been paved with concrete. Bike path, rollerblade, 2 skateparks – one of which is extreme. To figure out prices it is Chilean style, unpublished, “conversable”.
