*Why Yacht Security Has Significantly Improved in 2024*

Sailing to Porto Grande Mindelo? This year, yacht owners can enjoy a new level of peace of mind. Thanks to proactive efforts by the Marina Mindelo management and close collaboration with local authorities, security within Porto Grande Mindelo has reached new heights.

**Enhanced Patrols and Monitoring:** The marina has increased patrols, both on land and on the water, ensuring around-the-clock vigilance. With upgraded surveillance systems and additional cameras, yacht owners can feel secure, day and night.

**Seamless Coordination with Authorities:** Local authorities have stepped up, too. With regular communication between the marina and law enforcement, response times have improved, and incidents are swiftly managed.

**However, Safety Starts with You:** Yacht crews are reminded to always apply common-sense safety measures, especially when choosing to anchor in the bay rather than entering the marina. Securing valuables, locking entrances, and being mindful of surroundings remain essential, as is communicating any safety concerns to marina staff and local authorities.

** Conclusion

While Marina Mindelo cannot guarantee the elimination of all security threats, we are actively working with local authorities to minimize risks and ensure a safe environment for all our guests. Our commitment is to take continuous action that builds a safer, more secure environment for sailors in Mindelo.
