A USA flagged sailboat in Guatemala ??

[Idaho]

Has anyone visited Pacific Guatemala?

What ports/anchorages are ok? Is it crime-infested? Are there Customs issues for visiting that country for a few weeks?

Any advice is helpful. Thank you.

There seems to be only one sheltered port--Puerto Quetzal, and we skipped it as the Raines guide said the clear-in fees were high. It's a small probably dredged harbor, and seems to be dedicated mostly to sport-fishing boats. I'd guess security is good near the expensive boats, but no idea about inland.
If travelling that coast, the Coast Pilot is a good resource to supplement the Raines and Sail Sarana guides. IDK if there's more guides now, as I passed by some years ago.
With ports in Mexico and El Salvador so nearby, Guatemala is not really needed as a stop, unless you really just want to see the country.
