Marina San Carlos Fuel Dock

27° 56.9′ N · 111° 3.3′ W · approximate

The attended fuel dock inside Marina San Carlos — diesel and Magna gasoline with pump-out, the main place to fill tanks on the Sonora side before or after a Gulf crossing.

Practical

Coordinate is the marina's own directions point, not the fuel float itself; ask on VHF 16 for the dock's location when you arrive. The marina lists diesel and magna (regular) gasoline, a clearly marked easy-approach dock with attendants, and pump-out service. Hours per the marina: Monday–Sunday 7:30 am to 4:00 pm; in summer (June–October) until 6:00 pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Afternoon winds can make docking tricky — fuel in the morning. Noonsite's older (2009) listing for Combustibles Mar de Cortés gave 8:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday–Saturday, Sunday by phone, cards and cash — verify locally. Prices: verify locally.
