A fresh built marina with a very comprehensive staff. Docks are great though a bit of swell can sweep the marina. good AC and water system. Weather and robbery safe. Located in the " dry Arc" meaning much less rain than anywhere else in Panama. Good for drydocking (they do not have travel lift but a large hydraulic "trailer" - to be used at high tides). Unfortunately one cannot sleep aboard when drydocked: need a local accommodation (extra $$) and a transportation ($$). If the rate sound fair be very careful about the pricing policy: I have been charged a full hull in/out just for a 24 hours stay on the trailer following a prop problem (just a few days after having paid for the regular in/ out) : not fair at all (and no-one who to explain your point of you to = frustration). Same for electricity: even if you just use a fan with the AC dock facilities you will be charged 70 USD per month!. A small pool is just available: until now no pumping nor filters: check water quality before splashing! Nice and cool restaurant/ bar. a small shipchandler and qualified workers. 90 mn drive from Panama city (for serious technical purchases) and 15 mn drive from Coronado (grocery and hardware shops). Did stay in April and may 2024

Really nice marina, wide fairways, great docks, friendly staff, . . . . but. We've been here three days, the electricity has been out each day, mid day till early evening. Talking to our dock mates, this is apparently a regular thing. A neighboring boat runs a commercial style, open frame contractor type (LOUD) diesel generator (it sits on the dock) when the dock power is out . . . . They also advertise a pool, but it hasn't apparently been built yet. Water pressure is extremely underwhelming. I can't in good conscience recommend this marina . . . .

Wir hatten unseren Katamaran für 7 Monate in der Marina. Cesar der Marinamanager hat sich bestens um die Leinen gekümmert - sie immer wieder verändert, so dass wir ein hervorragend unvershertes Schiff bei unserer Ankunft vorfanden. Eigentlich wollten wir es auf dem Trockenen stehen lassen, zu diesem Zeitpunkt war aber der Slipwagen noch nicht für große Kats fertig. Jetzt geht auch das Aushonen mit Kats bis zu 47 Fuß. Ganz besonders dankbar waren wir für die Hilfe, die Cesar persöhnlich leistete um ein Ertsatzteil aus Deutschland, das unauffindbar mit der Post in Panama verschollen war zu finden. Er telefonierte sämtliche Poststationen bis Panama City durch, bis er das Päckchen in der Station Chirichi, etwa 100 km entfernt ausfindigmachen konnte. Noch am selben Tag fuhr eruns mit seinem Auto zur Post und da einige Zollformalitäten in Panama unumgänglich waren, fuhr er am nächsten Tag nach Panama um auch diese für uns zu erledigen, so dass wir durch seinen Einsatz nach 2 Tagen unsere Motorteile hatten. Ein service wie dieser ist wirklich aussergewöhnlich. Ebenfalls hervorragend ist Olli. der Mechaniker aus Südafrika, der dort eine große Motorenwerkstatt mit 15 Angestellten hatte, wegen Rassenunruhen aber nach Panama ging und hier in Panama seine wirklich hervorragenden Dienste zusammen mit seinem Sohn anbietet. Er hat unser Getriebe zerlegt und wieder perfekt in Gang gebracht unjd das zu wirklich günstgen Preisen von 50 $ die Stunde. Saubere, gewissenhafte Arbeitsweise und als wir 4 Wochen später ein eigenartiges Geräusch aus dem Motorraum hörten, kam er am nächsten Tag nach Panama City um sich selbst ein Bild zu machen - es war nur ein Silentgummi zu ersetzen. Top service und sehr kompetent Ich kann diese Marina und besonders Cesar und Olli nur bestens empfehlen.
