The entrance to the marina is to the west of Rio Chavon behind the small peninsular Punta Minas and is clearly marked with buoys. Offshore the marina can be contacted on VHF channel 16 or their working channel 68.
This is a story book facility where no detail has been overlooked.
For those that want to pamper themselves and take a “cruising break”, this is the recipe for it. You can enjoy the marina with its “Portofino, Italy” presence. And also visit, Altos de Chavon on the property to get a sense of Medieval Europe. A day at Altos de Chavon with its charm and cobbled streets as well as spectacular views cannot be beat.
You may not see the entrance on your chart, as many charts do not display it. Use the coordinates above to find it. Once you have it in sight, you can call the marina. They respond to Spanish, English, French and Italian. Buoyage is good with depths of 11 to 15 feet throughout the marina, pilot dinghies are sent to assist docking. There is an occasional slight swell with a tidal range of just 6 inches.Moor stern to against static concrete quays with greenwood pilings. Water is at each dock with 110v and 220v electricity always available. Security is 24hrs with security cameras. W.I.F.I. internet (expensive at the dock, free in areas upland), restaurants, cafes, pharmacy and boatyard facilities are also available.
Casa De Campo marina has every amenity the traveling yachtsman may need. Linked to the resort of Casa de Campo which has golf, tennis, polo etc, the marina is situated six miles within the gated resort and eight miles from the town of La Romana.
