Description:
Esmeraldas lies at the mouth of a large shallow river about 80NM west of the Colombian border.
Position:
01° 00’N, 79° 38’30″W (river entrance)
Docking
Although Esmeraldas is not considered a safe harbor (for security reasons), yachts can anchor in the fishing boat section of the artificial harbor, opposite the port captain’s office. It is more convenient to come to the Navy dock if there is space.
An alternative option is at the Stella Maris Yacht Club (00° 51.6’N, 79° 55.4’W), in a new marina south of Esmeraldas. This is part of a new resort development.
