GENERAL INFORMATION FOR VISITING YACHTS
Customs and Immigration and Port Health facilities are available to all yachts visiting Guyana. I recommend, however, that you check in at the Bartica Port of Entry in the Essequibo River. Our Customs and Immigration facilities for the purpose of yachts reporting their arrival and departure are simple and straightforward.
You are advised that cruise yachts wishing to sail to Guyana from the Caribbean should consult the Doyle Cruising Guide (www.doyleguides.com) . I can also offer the following advice.
On approaching Guyana, you can contact the Lighthouse Tower SSB frequency is 8281.2 and VHF.
You should approach on a rising tide and may anchor off Roeden Rust Marina. You can anchor about 50yds off the end of the Marina dock where even at low tide, you should have a minimum of 10ft of water. Once you remain in the channel approaching Parika from the mouth as indicated by Doyle, you should have no problem with the depth unless you have a draught exceeding 9ft and the tide is dead low.
I am not sure whether the Doyle Guide gives you the coordinates for the Roeden Rust Marina. The coordinates taken from Admiralty Chart 2782 (1929) are: 06 50.3 N / 058 27.4 W. Its within sight of the Parika Stelling at, Lat 06 51.9 N / 058 25.5W. Remain at anchor (depending on your arrival you may have to overnight at anchor) for a suitable tide that will allow you to approach Bartica towards high tide at Bartica which is approximately 4 hours after high tide at Roeden Rust which is approximately 1 hour after high tide at the bar.
It's a small Marina with minimum facilities. The number is (592) 262-0290. Strictly speaking, you should not land as you will not have cleared in. However, they can assist you with minor emergencies or small amounts of fuel should you need assistance. You can dinghy in.
​
The Doyle Guide has published the waypoints for Bartica. Hurakabra resort is close to Bartica and where you would be more than welcome to anchor.
