Colonia de Sacramento - Docking
The harbor here is relatively shallow. The whole delta, apart from the dredged channels, is shallow, rarely more than four meters (13.1 feet).
The harbor has 83 med-moorings with buoys along the rock wall jetty and there are 51 mooring balls. Mooring is for boats up to 15 meters (50 feet).
Electricity (220v) and water are available at each mooring on the jetty and the wood pier. There are also mooring balls (borneos) available, which cost half the price.
The water taxi is available on VHF Channel 21.
The marina is very safe, and many foreign yachts are left there for extended periods unattended, even more so now that Argentina is less friendly to cruisers.
