During high season, Zihuatanejo usually gets a large share of sailboats and yachts that requires anchoring within the bay. Anchoring fee is cheaper than in a marina. |
Because
our bay is relative small, only 1.8 miles wide, seek advise and follow
instructions from the harbor
authority on what position you will be authorized to anchor.
|
Be
aware
that we are visited by luxury cruisers and the captains need ample
space to maneuver their very large ships.
|
|
The
Capitania de
Puertos makes periodic round inspections to check
for possible waste dumping by the anchored boats within Zihuatanejo's bay
area. It's illegal to do so!!! Help us
keep our bay free of pollutants.
|
|
If
you require to dump waste such as bathroom system or other, do
so in open sea, far enough so the prevailing currents won't
bring it into the bay. Avoid throwing non-biodegradable trash
into sea and DO NOT throw any type of trash within our
bay. |
Our
laws state a minimum distance of 3 nautical miles off-shore for disposals.
Failure to do so may earn you a stiff fine!
