Rio Grande - Docking
If it is necessary to wait for better conditions before attempting to enter, the shelter can be found by anchoring south of the breakwater.
You will first enter the main port than proceed another 16 kms (10 miles) to the city center. Follow the buoyed channel. The channel is well marked and lit.
Once past the large ship wharf, you will turn to port at the naval station. Do not wander too far to the right once you have made the turn to port at the naval station, as it is shallow here. From here you will pass numerous fishing vessels and their respective wharves until you see a dock with a greenhouse on stilts next to it.
This is one of the docks of the Museo Oceanographic. There is another dock slightly beyond where you can tie or raft to other sailing vessels. Prior permission is required to use the Museo Oceanographic pontoon.
The yacht club is just beyond the museum dock, the last group of buildings on the portside shore. Moor to the visitor’s pontoon. depth 3m.
