There is a boatyard with a 50-ton travelift but it is not known if it can handle yachts, more likely it caters to the fishing fleet only.
See the Comments section for info on hauling out here.

20 December – Update: Travelift still not operating.
Posted on behalf of James Burwick:
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 To figure out prices it is Chilean style, unpublished, “conversable”.
