Route

7) If you plan your trip down from the Puerto Vallarta area
here are (some of) the anchorages we used  –
you can easily day-hop your way down or one quick overnight passage.


-> Marina Riviera Nayarit – Punta Ipala – 44 nm

FYI: The Punta Ipala Anchorage is rolly especially if you have been in a marina for a while
so check the weather for less swell and a calm time to round Cabo Corrientes

-> Punta Ipala – Chamela – N – 48 nm

-> Chamela – N – Tenacatita – 32 nm

-> Tenacatita – Barra de Navidad – 14 nm

 

 

See you in Barra de Navidad !
