En Peru el deporte nautico va adquiriendo cada año mas interesados. Actualmente hay mas de 1000 yates solo en la capital del Peru. Es por ello que proximamente abrira sus puertas Marina
Marbella, con capacidad para amarrar 150 yates con eslora de hasta 120 pies, con un travelift de 200 toneladas. Asi que en dos años si visitas Lima usted tendra los mejores servicios.
Translation:
In Peru, the sport of sailing is increasing in popularity every year. Actually, there are more than 1000 yachts just in the capital of Peru. For this reason, the Marine Marbella will be opening its doors in two years time, with a capacity for 150 yachts, maximum LOA of 120ft and with a 200-ton travelift. So, if you visit Lima in 2 years time, there will be much better services.
ALERT. My US boat touring Panama – Callao – Chile has been confiscated by Customs here 5 weeks after entering while conforming to all formalities doing my own checkin. Customs says that with me they are starting to crack down on boats not hiring customs agents.
There are a number of visiting yachts in Callao in the same situation as me that are exposed to immediate confiscation.
Customs tells me they want my boat for cadet training. Nothing to negotiate. They charged me with smuggling (of the yacht, which is contraband) as a pretext for confiscation. After 5 weeks they finally let me make a statement and will not call my witness for another 3 weeks so to have as many delays as possible.
My lawyer just called the Yacht Club Peruano and was told that customs inspection is now required. The implication is that a customs agent needs to be hired costing about $800 without anything to declare. Add this to the $1,200 in sanitary fees.
Please update your website on this regard as currently, it says otherwise.
I called into Lima in late Feb. 2015 from Puerto Lucia Yacht Club Ecuador, motor sailing all the way – it was a rough trip against wind and current and nasty fogs. Nothing has changed with regards to the above comments. I was hoping to get Arica Chile, which we eventually did, in one shot.
However our alternator failed and the leech on the jib started to unravel plus we needed more fuel. The officials were just silly – miles of paperwork like Ecuador and ridiculous – 3 visits from the coast guards who photographed everything. The Sanitaria Maritime came for an “inspection” with wads of paperwork with a 4 men team complete with ear muffs and hard hats for inspecting a 36 foot sailing yacht for what?!.
Fortunately, I had a read about the yellow fever injections and had the health booklet. A Chilean yacht that made a forced entry into YCP was heavily fined for not having the yellow fever booklet/injections and the crew arrested and interrogated for over 15 hours for spying!! Outrageous costs indeed. There is no yellow fever on the coasts.
The agent we used was Jorge Gardella he tried $500 USD fee but settled for $200 USD. At the Yacht Club no one speaks English, nor at Tanamar and no one responded once to any of the so-called necessary VHF calls you are meant to twice a day when you enter Peruvian waters. The Yacht Club should lobby the government to stop treating yachts like bulk carriers.
The folk at the yacht club were OK. The restaurant was nice, there are new showers and the docking and re-fuelling man was exceptionally nice.

Legacy (40′) was at the Yacht club Peruano (YCP) in May 2014 coming from Puerto Lucia, Ecuador. We motor/sailed with 2 stops (Talara, Bayovar) without going ashore, just to let the weather cleared. We tried to contact Tramar twice a day without success. Clearing in Peru was done by Jorge Romero recommended by Gonzalo Ravago (the very nice, good Samaritan from the club).$100 per week ( buoy + launch services) at the present no facilities as they are remodelling for 6 months.
Internet at the office. Fuel $5.86/ gal ($2 more than the local station) water on plus.
Basics groceries next door with great panaderia ( bakery)
Cost of clearing in Peru is outrageous: $1 = 2.7 Soles
Sanitaria Maritima: 1724 Soles
Port authority $0
Migration 150 Soles ( for two)
APN $0
Total 1874 Soles or $694 but since we did not have a health booklet with all vaccinations including the yellow fever ( they insist on it) they charge a fine of 1350 Soles and also 160 Soles for vaccination ( that we did not have to take …) all is stupid paperwork bureaucracy
Total In and Out 3645 Soles or $1350 including $100 for agent. You do not have a cruising permit for the coast. We left after 2 weeks at this rolly anchorage for Arica Chile
Actualmente en Perú ay proyectos de construcción de Marinas para Yates .
