Monitors VHF 68, not 16 (cruiser report 2017).

Use the public dinghy dock only — a crew landing at a private dock in April 2026 led to a CSSN incident report. 2017 cruiser prices (diesel US$1.10/litre) are long out of date — verify locally. Request the marina's recommended approach waypoints before arrival.
