Chacabuco is one of the few ports of any consequence between Puerto Montt and Punta Arenas. It is a handy port if a 'visa run' into Argentina ( by bus via Coihaique and Balmaceda ) is required. The area is seismicaly(sp) 'hot' and stopping anywhere within Seno Aysen is not recommended.

Charts

Please provide a good map or chart that clearly shows details (depths, where to dock, scale etc.) of the harbor.

Give charts applicable to this port or refer to a Chart section of another page (Country or Region) that lists the charts.

Navigation

Due to the risk of encountering deadheads left over from the 2007 terremoto it is recommended to only navigate Seno Aysen in daylight hours.

Entrance

Chacabuco is an Armada port and the captain should attend the Capitania de Puerto with the ship's Zarpe both on arrival and again prior to departure.

Berthing

Describe here the berthing options of this port. Are there moorings or you have to anchor? Do most boats moor side-to, stern-to, or bow-to? Etc.

Marinas & Yacht Clubs

Nil.

Anchorages

Ensenada Baja

Safe anchorage in Ensenada Baja and also in the southern end of Bahia Chacabuco. The safest and most convenient of the two is Ensenada Baja with the Capitania and diesel both within walking distance and reasonable shopping a bus ride away in Puerto Aysen. However the entrance is shallow (2 metres at datum ) and this means - for most yachts - entering on the second half of the flood. Combine this requirement with the need to transit Seno Aysen in daylight and you may well need to spend your first and last nights in this port anchored in Bahia Chacabuco.
