Puerto Princesa - Docking
Puerta Princesa bay contains the small but very helpful Abanico yacht club, located in the NE corner of the harbour. Look out for the blue roof. They monitor VHF channel 72 and can be reached by phone (see their listing below) and the YC will send out a dinghy to guide you in as there are unmarked reefs in the area.
The bay here is a typhoon shelter.
The anchorage is well protected and secure in 8m over sand/mud, and the yacht club will point out where to anchor. To get to the yacht club requires some care and should not be attempted at night.
See this cruising report from MV Solita for information about other anchorages around Palawan.
Take care of your dinghy and outboard and secure them properly at all times. There have been thefts here in the past.

Palawan has 1/4 of all the islands in the Philippines – numbering 1780 – and is inhabited by only 1% of the total population. The cruising is top class and as good as you will find anywhere worldwide in tropical cruising grounds.
