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…

The inlet is easy and well marked. About half mile SW from Punta Palo, the north entrance of the bay, there is a wreck marked by a buoy. The inlet channel in 2014 was dredged to 3 mt at LW. The channel is well marked with a buoyage system red and green, but in 2014 the lights were out of order.
