Marinas: Three here about seven sea miles up north from the
commercial harbor. All with
WiFi, showers,
laundry room (buy tokens) or
laundry service avail.
Dock electricity extra.
Propane refill avail.
1) El Cid Marina (monitors ch 16). To starboard just after getting through the breakwater. Bit steeper cost than the others but has swimming pool with bar, cable TV at the
dock, restaurant(s), beach area, indoor bar (happy hour with free finger
food 1800 hrs sat). Coffee shop, touristy-things shop.
Fuel dock. Easiest acces to public buses. Easiest acces by foot to local pubs & restaurants. Night
music in the restaurant (loud on the docks).
2) Marina Mazatlan (monitors ch 16). Middle cost of the three. Furthest inside the harbor. Largest marina here. One coffee shop, one restaurant (neither affiliated with the marina) and the heads/showers a VERY long walk except from docks 6, 7 & 8. Short walk to buses. Long walk up & over the bridge before reaching El Cid area thence into town. No swimming pool. No
fuel dock. Cruiser activities with a gregarious crowd - mostly day outings. Night
music in the restaurant (loud on the closest docks). Most popular marina.
3) Singlar Marina. (monitors ch 67) One of many Singlar units run by the gov. in the
Sea of Cortez. Lowest cost, but smallest in size: one dock only. Swimming pool, Jaccuzzi, best (IMHO) showers, heads, laundy room.
Haul out crane & boat slip, dry
storage, shipyard workers, fuel dock. Located between the other two marinas. {Singlar would be dock #1 for Marina Mazatlan but there were probs. The
haul out lift is where dock #2 should be.} No coffee shop, no bar, no restaurant, no shops.... Gotta dingy or walk over to the other places. But no loid music! Catch the bus at the same stop as Marina Mazatlan.
We changed from Marina Maz to Singlar to save
money.
Hope this helps! James.....
