Marina Puerto Escondido – Gateway to the Central Sea

Puerto Escondido is the gateway for boaters to the central Sea of Cortez. With dramatic mountain backdrops, great fishing, islands to explore and an abundance of anchorages to discover, the region has long been a favorite of cruisers.

The marina came under new management in 2016, and over the past 20 months, the new proprietors have made significant improvements to the marina facilities in this beautiful natural harbor. Dredging at the entrance to the harbor helps accommodate deeper draft vessels. A new breakwater further insulates the harbor from winter’s north winds, and innovative modern docks are now available. To improve the environment, the marina’s owners saw to the removal of decades of trash from the bay floor.

Marina Puerto Escondido slips also contain 100 AMP pedestals that have connections for 125V, 250V, and 480V for mega yachts and 50 AMP pedestals that also have connections for 125V and 250V for smaller yachts. You can now enjoy potable water right there at your slip.
