| Itajai Port of Entry
| |
   
|
Itajai and Navegantes are located across from each other, on Rio Itajai. Itajai is bigger than Navegantes, and official offices for the port (Customs, Immigration, Port Captain) are in Itajai. Not a typical cruising destination, but a good place to get work done on a boat. There is an extensive boat-building and repair industry mostly catering to wooden and steel fishing boats and, to a lesser extent, tourist schooners.
Not really a yacht repair place, but has extensive haulout and repair facilities for boats at least up to 50m.

Weather

Generally, this is a straightforward buoyed channel leading to an entrance channel. Avoid in or after strong onshore winds (due to the large waves that can be expected). Beware of currents in excess of five knots if there has recently been a lot of rain.
After a heavy rainfall, the river can have many trees and other debris floating in it.
Off to port, shortly after passing the entrance channel, there are what looks to be yacht clubs or at least moorings of yachts, mostly power, some sail. I've been told there is 2m of water there, but the depth is not marked on the chart and I've not been in there.
For a few miles up the Rio Itajai, there are boatyards on either side of the river. With the exception of the few that are owned by fishing boat companies (which only work on their own boats), you could probably tie up at any of them (assuming you are looking to get something fixed, which is likely the only reason a yacht would come here). Look for a yard that looks suitable, and then tie or raft up.
Boatyards are called estaleiros in Portuguese.
Entrance
Itajai is a port of entry for Brazil. For details see Entrance: Brazil.
In Itajai (no offices in Navegantes, you must clear in/out in Itajai), the first dock downstream of the ferry docks is the Policia Federal (Immigration). Do not take your boat here, walk or take the ferry instead. Enter from the street (a guard will open the gate).
The Captainia do Porto is on the next dock downstream of Policia Federal.
Customs (Aduanas) is on Avenida Col Eugenio Muller between Avenida Col Marcos Kondor and Rua Henrique Douat. From the ferry docks, walk upstream about 1km. There is an HSBC bank across the road from the building where Aduanas is.

Marinas & Yacht Clubs
Anchorages
