31° 18.4′ N · 113° 32.7′ W

The only slips at the head of the Sea of Cortez — small docks inside Puerto Peñasco's sheltered, narrow-entranced harbour, shared with the fishing fleet and the navy, four hours' drive from Arizona.

Practical

Coordinate is the marina basin mapped in OpenStreetMap (tagged seamark harbour, category marina). Marina Fonatur Puerto Peñasco: 11 slips up to 80 ft, VHF 16 and 26, tel +52 638 388 6944, customerservice@fonatur.gob.mx. Safe Marina: harbourmaster tel +52 638 383 1145 / 386 5868, VHF 88A. Noonsite (2023) notes a fuel jetty in the harbour and a boatyard and haul-out (Cabrales). Slips are tight — one crew (2023) found their reserved slip 15 ft too short and had to find another; reserve ahead and confirm length. The upper Gulf has very large tides — check heights and currents for the entrance. Rates: verify locally.

Best for

A slip before haul-out or a US road trip
