HARBOUR

The anchorage caters for 28 monohulls and 9 multihulls, set in two rows.

In order to respect and protect sea life, each sailboat is moored on 3 or 4 (depending on size) steel screws of which only the anchoring eye is above sea bed. This system has been approved in many natural parks worldwide.

The entrance channel (N09°36´90- W79°36´70) is equipped with green (port) and red (starboard) buoys and the first 4 are fitted with a flag for better visibility from offshore. Once inside the anchorage, two stand-by mooring buoys (painted white) can be found in the middle. Call us on VHF 69 and Panamarina´s tender will come and help you.

The bottom is sandy; depth varies between 20 and 5 meters in the channel and 4 to 2 meters at moorings positions.

 

MARINA

The marina puts at your disposal 24h/day security, a laundry, showers and toilets, an open-air restaurant area, a workshop with a vise on a workbench, sockets in 110 and 220 V AC, water, a rinsing sink for engine (tools no provided), a book-exchange library (English, French, German, Italien), games.

 

RESTAURANT

The open-air restaurant can provide for about 30 persons and is open, as well as the bar, from Tuesdays to Sundays, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm and from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. The cooks propose dishes from Panama’s Atlantic coast or typical French family cooking.
