Boat storage in Brazil (south of Jacare), Uruguay, North Argentina

[svlamorocha]

I stand by the Porto Frade recommendation because weather is not an issue and theft is not a problem (unlike in many other Brazilian locations). Several very expensive boats have spent some time stored there on the way from Argentina to the Caribbean and the experience has been excellent.

Thanks everyone for the advice. It sounds like there are a number of potential good options. I will use this thread for reference once we get across the Atlantic.

Jacaré is up river from Cabedelo, just north of Joao Pessoa.

On your way south you can also stop at Vitoria, there is a friendly Yacht Club (entrance is somewhat tricky) and a yard - I hauled out for a bottom job a few years back but the yard catered mostly to fishing boats.
