SAFETY & HEALTH PROTOCOLS

Safely Enjoy Your Access To Boating And Fresh Air

At Marina Bahía Golfito each and every person's safety and health are priorities: please download the following documents in order to know, understand and agree with all the guidelines that ensure that all of us are part of a responsible and conscious community. 

Your Help and Consideration is Needed! 
Your help and your actions are essential to keeping boating and marina services open, safe, and accessible. Following some suggestions to improve safety will help everyone to enjoy boating more safely at this time.

Protect yourself, other boaters, and marina staff: 

  • Marina staff will not be available to assist you in a manner that would compromise safe social distancing (i.e. unloading your gear, landing your boat, etc). Please call the dock master for assistance or questions.  
  • Avoid using public restrooms when possible. Wash your hands regularly on your vessel when able. Carry hand sanitizer whenever possible and/or utilize gloves properly. Pack in and pack out your garbage to avoid using public resources. 
  • When getting gas, practice safe social distancing with gas attendants and wear masks and gloves. Utilize credit cards, house accounts, or exact change whenever possible. 

Be extra safe while boating. Don’t become a problem for others to have to respond to:

  • Wear Life Jackets when on the docks and while boating. 
  • Alcohol onboard can increase risks, boat sober and responsibly. 
  • Slow down; speed increases risk for you and others. Speed consumes more gas and requires more trips to the gas dock. 
  • Be extra aware to follow all navigation rules, procedures and etiquette. 
  • Avoid boating in low light situations or unfavorable weather to improve your safety on the water and at docks. 
  • Use a "float plan," including reminders of safe social distancing protocols. 

Please be respectful of others on the water. Refrain from making boating appear discourteous or unsafe in the current environment.

  • Keep passengers to only your immediate household; those who are isolated and not exposed to virus. 
  • Practice safe distancing while boating: 
  • No rafting up or anchoring with other boats. 
  • No beaching boats near one another. 
  • Keep sound to subdued levels. Do not create ‘party’ like atmosphere in the marina or on the water. 
  • Practice polite etiquette where anchoring; out of channels or high areas and away from residences. 

Thank you for doing your part to keep our boating community healthy.

We look forward to helping you enjoy the water! 


It is a One-of-a-Kind Destination.
