Puerto Lindo / Isla Linton Anchorage
9° 36.5′ N · 79° 35.4′ W · approximate
A sheltered bay between Isla Linton and the mainland at Puerto Lindo, where boats anchor off Linton Bay Marina while clearing in, provisioning by bus or waiting out the rainy season.
Practical
Coordinate is Noonsite's general position for Puerto Lindo (09°36.54'N 079°35.44'W), not a surveyed anchorage spot; SY Moya (2018) anchored between Isla Linton and the marina. Use the marina dinghy dock ($3 per day or $30 per month, 2025). Buses run to Portobelo (about 20 minutes) and Sabanitas (ATMs, supermarkets). Security is the main issue: thefts from yachts at anchor here, an armed robbery of a charter catamaran (Oct 2018) and of a yacht at anchor off the marina (July 2019); lock up, lift the dinghy at night. The Aeronaval has a presence in the area.
