How cruisers in the bay get their propane bottles filled. A weekly drop-off at Marina Riviera Nayarit in La Cruz is announced on the morning net, and Paradise Village runs a propane service for its marina guests.

Practical

Coordinate is the Marina Riviera Nayarit office position (approx for the drop-off point). La Cruz: on Wednesdays you drop propane tanks at the marina and pay on pickup that afternoon; specifics are announced on the VHF 22 Banderas Bay cruisers' net in the morning (Noonsite, last updated 2023). Listen to the net at 8:30am Monday to Saturday on channel 22A to confirm the current day and price. Paradise Village Marina lists a 'propane run' among its marina services (2026 website), and its older marina guide lists a propane station. Bring the right adapters for your bottles; Mexican fittings differ from US and European ones.
