Renaissance Marina (Oranjestad)
12° 31.1′ N · 70° 2.3′ W
The upscale marina right on Oranjestad's waterfront, in front of the Renaissance resort, casino and shops - step off the boat into the capital.
Practical
Now listed by Noonsite (February 2026) as Wind Creek Marina: the second-largest marina, about 12 visitor wet berths, inside Oranjestad harbour next to the cruise-ship dock; entry at 12°31.014'N 70°02.348'W; call on VHF 16 after clearance is complete (office 8 am to 6 pm, except Sundays and holidays); restaurants on site or nearby, restrooms, pool. The Aruba Cruising Guide says Wind Creek sells diesel from its own fuel dock (see the separate fuel & water entry); Varadero also has a fuel dock. Clear in at Barcadera first. Call the marina before entering so they can assign a slip; also call Aruba Port Control on VHF 16 before entering or leaving the harbour (Virgintino 2015). Med-mooring with staff help; few spaces and pricey (Noonsite comment 2015). Renaissance Marina office per OSM is on the waterfront. The dinghy dock here can be used by boats in the Surfside anchorage (Virgintino). Coordinate: OpenStreetMap marina. Wind Creek's own site lists 40 berths with water and power and 24-hour security.
