Floreana - Docking

Anchorage

The approach is straightforward and yachts can anchor just off the Black Beach near the jetty in about six metres on sand with excellent holding.

The anchorage is relatively calm as you will be tucked in against the trade-wind driven seas.

There is a water taxi service provided by Peter which costs $1 each way, so no need to use your dinghy.

Dinghy Dock:

There is a dock where you could leave your dinghy, but as sea lions have a habit of climbing aboard, it is highly recommended (anywhere in the Galapagos) to leave your dinghy out of reach for these residents, and use the water taxi instead.

    The above cruiser confirmed that they visited Floreana with an autografo for 4 ports: San Cristobal, Santa Cruz, Floreana and Isabella. They used agent Ricardo.

    Checked into Floreana yesterday. We were met immediately upon arrival by a water taxi with the Port Captain, Agriculture and Environmental officers. No Immigration on the island. They inspected the vessel, reviewed the paperwork we had from our agent and time in San Cristobal.

    They did require a checkout in which they stamped our zarpe from San Cristobal to Issabella, where we are heading tomorrow. Contrary to the profile here, there is wifi available. An open unlocked site and a locked site that for which they freely provided the password. It’s the best internet we’ve seen in the Galapagos and I’m sending this to you from their free wifi right now.
