Marina El Cid Fuel Dock (Mazatlán)

23° 16.1′ N · 106° 27.9′ W · approximate

The diesel and gasoline dock at Marina El Cid, just inside the Sábalo channel entrance. Cruisers rate it the easiest fuel stop in Mazatlán.

Practical

Noonsite: El Cid is the easiest fuel dock to reach, but watch the current (up to 4 kn in the channel) and the shallow depths, which have been measured at 8 ft at zero tide. Time your arrival for high or slack water and stay close to the wall when entering. The Fonatur yard basin, farther in, also lists fuel (Noonsite business listing). Hail El Cid on VHF 16. Coordinate is the outer edge of the El Cid docks from OpenStreetMap; ask the marina office which face of the dock is the fuel berth.
