San Andres Island - Marina Dockage Advice sought

We plan to sail out of Rio Dulce early February , destination San Andres Island .
The idea is to dock or anchor the boat for 2 months in San Andres.

Any advice on this route and San Andre s marinas is greatly appreciated

Re: San Andres Island - Marina Dockage Advice sought

I havent docked at San Andreas, only anchored, but there is a small, basic, marina there (Nene's).

Not my favorite anchorage (busy harbor, mixed bottom...), but San Andreas is a pretty island...I recommed exploring.

The usual route from the Rio is to the Bay Islands, wait for weather, jump to Vivarillos or continue on "around the bend".

For security reasons, I suggest going to Belize first and then sail down to the Bay Islands, not the direct route from the Rio...this keeps you well off the trouble prone Honduran mainland.

Providencia is also a great stop and our preference.

Good fishing in the area.

Lots of other small island groups and banks to explore.

BUT....there have been some serious security issues in the NE of the Nicaraguan Banks. Full on oraganized piracy...motherships, multiple pangas, armed men,etc. See CSSN for details.
