Which marinas or quays can I depart from in Isla Mujeres?

You can depart from Marina Paraiso, El Milagro Marina (with 25 stern-ties and 220-volt shore power), or the municipal anchorage near Roca La Carbonera. Larger yachts may use Puerto Isla Mujeres on the east side of Makax Channel, which offers a 200-foot side tie and access to a 150-ton Travelift shipyard.

Enrique's Marina also provides a Pemex fuel dock and full-service slips near the ferry docks, making it a practical choice for refueling and provisioning before departure.

The island's west-side municipal anchorage (10 feet over sand and mud) parallels the harbor channel and is ideal for overnight stays, while the east-side Puerto Isla Mujeres offers deeper access for larger vessels.
