Guayaquil - Docking
The Guayaquil Yacht Club is in the old port in the centre of Guayaquil. Access is via a bridge which opens at 06:00 and 18:00. There is only one small pontoon here for berthing, so it’s advisable to contact them in advance to arrange berthing.

Reported by Don Thompson – 5 May, 2021
The tourist scuba dive boat Deep Blue, based out of Galapagos Islands, was attacked by numerous small boats offshore Guayaquil in February 2021. They were returning to Galapagos after boatyard maintenance. The boat was shot up and the crew held at gunpoint as the boat was stripped of anything of value. Fortunately none of the 10 crew were physically injured. Numerous acts of piracy have occurred recently near Ecuador’s main port city. They likely are based in the mangroves swamps nearby. It’s speculated that an employee of the shipyard tipped off the pirates.
I was one of the first passengers on this boat after the boat was attacked.
The yacht club at 02.14.27S 79.52.89 is actually a private party restaurant with 1 small pontoon for tourist charter boats (so negotiate for a berth).
VHF Ch.71 doesn’t work. Clearance is mandatory via an agent.
AND there is a bridge, opening 6 am and 6 pm.
