I'll second that Club de Pesca is the safest, with real security, but it is primarily oriented towards the sportfishing crowd. Club Nautico is where most of the cruisers hang out, but it is not a far walk from Club de Pesca and you will be welcomed even if you arrive on foot. Club Nautico has some security, but at least when I was there it was rather ineffective. For example, the night watchman was prone to leaving his shotgun lying across the
dock and I nearly fell over it a couple of times. Spent four months there in the anchorage and it can be a bit rolly. Holding is variable and iffy in spots. Newcomers drag in the first blow because they almost invariably don't put out enough
scope for the deep
water. Better to
anchor pretty far out and directly off Club Nautico if possible in order to limit the people who paddle or swim out from shore. In either the
marinas or at anchor you need to haul and lock your
dinghy each night, and it is best not to leave valuable stuff lying around on
deck. Beauftiful city, great nightlife, lots of great cruisers to meet, and a must visit if possible. The trip down from the ABCs is known as potentially one of the worst passages in the world, even though it is short. Met several world cruisers who had bad experiences there, but on the other hand you can wait for the right
weather and not have a problem. The cape up there at the north end of
Colombia is notorious for high winds and bad weather.
