On behalf of the management and staff of Marina Santa Marta we would like to welcome you to Santa Marta, Colombia.

Marina Santa Marta, located on the northern coast of Colombia on the Caribbean Sea, is home to an impressive array of sport and pleasure boats as well as megayachts.  Santa Marta and its surrounding areas include pristine beaches and abundant eco-activities such as horseback riding and hiking with strongly rooted historic elements.

If there is anything that we can do here to make your stay a more memorable experience here in Colombia’s beautiful city of Santa Marta, please let us know.  We are here to ensure you have a pleasant stay!

Sincerely,

The Marina General Manager

Arrival Information Details

Advanced reservations are strongly recommended at Marina Santa Marta.  Berthing is not guaranteed without a confirmed reservation.  We ask that you provide advanced notice, when feasible, of your approximate arrival time so we can be fully prepared for your arrival and minimize any inconvenience to you.  Customs must be provided with 72 hours advanced notice to report a firm arrival location and estimated time of arrival.

Please Note:  Captains and his/her assignee must check-in/check-out with the marina office for each stay unless otherwise arranged with marina management.

Check-Out: 10:30 am Check-In: 4:30 pm

ARRIVAL:

Upon approach to the marina lagoon, please hail the marina on VHF Channel 16.  At that time a slip assignment will be provided as well as directions to the slip.  Dock attendants will guide you in and assist you with docking.  Once comfortably settled, we ask that you visit our marina office to check-in.  The staff will quickly register you and answer any questions.

DEPARTURE:

Upon departure, we request you contact the marina office 1-2 hours prior to departure to ensure all items are in order.  Please visit the marina office in order to obtain the balance of the account which must be paid prior to departure.  A receipt can be provided at the marina office or emailed upon request to the email address provided at the time of check-in.  Once all items are in order, please hail the marina office on VHF Channel 16 if you would like assistance with disconnection and lines.

Early Check-In / Late Check-Out

If a slip is occupied after 10:30 am on the day of your scheduled departure, an additional night’s dockage will be charged to your account.

We will do our absolute best to accommodate your requests whenever possible.  In most cases, if your slip is available prior to 4:30 pm on the day of your arrival, or after 10:30 am on the day of your departure, we will allow you to remain in the slip at no additional charge.  Prior arrangements must be made with the marina office for early arrival or delayed departure in order to avoid unnecessary charges.

Temporary Slips

In the event an early check-in and/or late check-out is unable to be accommodated in your current slip, we will try to accommodate by making another slip available until such time your slip is available or you are ready to depart the marina.

In the event a temporary slip is made available to you, and you do not relocate the vessel, the marina reserves the right to charge you two times (2x’s) the original daily rate for each night you occupy the temporary slip.

This is necessary as the Marina Santa Marta operates at full occupancy at times and failure to relocate the vessel could negatively affect other guests.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Please note: Cancellation policies are subject to change. Please refer to your reservation confirmation or contact the marina office direct for confirmation of cancellation policy. Cancellation requests must be submitted directly to the marina. Any cancellation requests received through the IGY Marinas website are not considered proper cancellation.

  1. Do not leave garbage on the docks or common areas to be picked up.  Garbage should be bagged and tied and then properly placed in designated receptacles, or be placed in the garbage truck, not loosely scattered or abandoned.
  2. Oils and fuels should be disposed of properly and not in Marina trash cans.  Please ask for assistance when disposing of oils, fuels, or chemicals. Your concern for the environment helps.
  3. Try not to introduce any effluents into the Marina lagoon.  Use holding tanks if possible.
  4. Do not attempt to turn on your own water and electricity. Please have a dock attendant provide the service.  Using pliers or screwdrivers will damage the equipment and you will be charged.  It is suggested that you read meters (if applicable) along with our dock attendant to ensure accuracy.
  5. Anyone caught taking water from another yacht’s tap shall be responsible for the entire water cost of the metered yacht. Please use your own water.
  6. Keep power cords and water hoses in a neat and orderly fashion so that no one will trip in the dark or while carrying objects.
  7. Please wash sails on lawn areas where water outlets and drying spaces are available, or do it aboard your yacht.
  8. When marking anchor chains with paint, use paper or cardboard beneath your chain to keep wet paint off the docks and other customers’ shoes.
  9. When cleaning dinghies, make sure you rinse debris and growth off of the docks when finished.
  10. Lock the vessel when leaving it unattended.
  11. Lock your dinghies and outboard at night.
  12. Try to keep excessive noise down after 10:00 pm.

  14. Barbecue and cooking on the docks is prohibited.  Barbecue and cooking should be done on board in suitable equipment and self contained.  Any other way is dangerous and frowned upon.  Kindly clean up after yourself when finished. Charcoal ash and debris are not to be disposed of into the lagoon.
  15. If bright deck lights or spot lights are to be used at night, avoid pointing them at nearby boats, especially down or into their cabins.
