We are located outside the village itself so access to the local stores, bars, restaurants is typically by taxi or a golf cart rental.

It’s important for folks to understand that we are a working marina. We service all the local resorts boats and outboard engines. Activities from these operations sometimes start fairly early. Especially during the high season. Boats and vehicles begin moving around 5am. Machinery movement typically begins around 7am. The marina itself has a lot of traffic in and out due to the fuel station. But its very easy access from the lagoon and larger boats have no trouble maneuvering in the marina.  It’s a very active place throughout the day.
Due to Covid, we are operating under reduced staff and hours. However, as the tourism begins again, I expect to go back to normal operating hours of 6am to 7pm every day. We are open 365 days per year. I typically carry a staff of roughly 25-30 people during normal operations.
I live on site and can be accessed via this email or on my Belize Cell number. My Whatsapp is connected to my US Cell number which is +1-916-257-6700.
My Son Matt is my assistant Manager and his cell is +501-627-1582 he also uses his US cell number for his Whatsapp account. The number is +1-916-257-7773
Matt can help any time I can not be reached.
We prefer email or text over radio communication. But we do loosely monitor VHF channel 12. Please don’t rely on this though.

Max draft is 7’6″ at high tide. We do posted max length or width only because it’s usually the lagoon depth that is the limiting factor.   We have 2 berths for 100 feet long boats of that size. The rest are for 45 and under.
