Q:  Can I contact the marina by VHF radio?
A:  Yes, but there are a few things to know. We monitor 66A (A = U.S.). To avoid receiving another marina's radio calls, we use very low wattage. Please call the marina when you can see it. We will then direct you to a slip or side tie.

A:  The marina has US Customs check-in, pump-out stations and porta-potty dump, potable water, shore power, showers and lavatories, day moorage, permanent moorage and limited gear storage for fishing vessels. Just a short walk into town, you will find laundromats, a medical clinic, a movie theater, a chandlery, grocery stores, hardware stores, shops, galleries and overnight accommodations.
