Puerto Princesa

Background

Puerto Princesa is one of the best places for stocking up on food, diesel and water we have found, and anchoring off the yacht club you can pick up wifi. Crew can fly in to Puerto easily and the airport is close by. However, as a tourist spot this place is a non starter; don't imagine diving among coral and fish, or sunning yourself on a sandy beach. The water is muddy and quite dirty, there is no beach anywhere remotely close and the town itself is dirty and smog ridden. Many yachts do stay for an extended period here, mostly because of the dificulty of going north or east across the Sulu sea in the rough northeasterly monsoon. --Chasamba 06:09, 29 February 2012 (GMT)

Charts

Cmap is not accurate in this area. Paper charts are better, or the Abanico Yacht Club will guide you in, they usually listen on vhf channel 72.

Anchorages

• The best anchorage is off the yacht club but holding is not very good anywhere in the bay since it is a mixture of coral and very soft mud. The yacht club usually has some moorings available, care is needed when approaching because there is a big reef all round the club.
