| More notes about the Marina | |
Marina radio contact
It is always a good idea to call the marina in advance before arrival. You may have to use the telephone as they do not always respond to VHF.
The Las Palmas Marina (also refereed to as Muelle Deportivo) is located within the large commercial harbor. Usually dock 18 is reserved for visiting yachts. There are laid moorings. The marina is large and comfortable, it can accommodate 900 yachts. The marina office/reception berth (open daily (0700 -1200, 1700-1900) is next to the Fuel berth on the south side of the marina entrance.
Several yachts are anchored offshore, right next to the marina breakwater. This is free.
Berthing
An attendant will direct you to a berth.
It is the departure port for the ARC and therefore very busy/full October through 3rd week November
