Porvenir is a handy solution to stop for clear in and out in Punta Arenas, 19 miles NW off Porvenir. It is well sheltered from all winds and they into the bay are never very strong, there is a new good Marina, there is a daily ferry to Punta Arenas, but only one a day and also a cheap flying possibility (2014). In 2014 the inlet channel was dredged to 3 mt in LW and it is marked with buoyage. In Porvenir, 3 km far the Bahia Chilota where the Marina is placed, there are all service: grocery stores, post office, fuel station, hotels...
