Port of Punta del Este: the boats began to arrive, and according to port authorities, “in these days it will be full.” At this point, 98% of the moorings are occupied and 100% are reserved. “Boats are yet to arrive, we have almost 50 users on the waiting list and our port guard, which has a capacity for 330 boats, is 100% complete,” the authorities reported.
It has been ten years since the port was seen crowded in this way, the authorities stated. This is because the cost of the mooring dropped half of its price. “This has made it possible to attract a different type of public that makes the port find itself in these conditions. The Argentine nautical park is made up of 150,000 boats and 50% are located in the AMBA, which is the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires,” authorities said. At this time, the occupation is 40% Uruguayan and 60% Argentine.
With respect to cruise ships, the eastern resort will have two landing areas. So far in 2022, of the 13 stopovers that were planned, 9 could be made, due to weather conditions. However, some 15,000 people came to east point. “We are going to end the season on April 7 with approximately 56 stopovers,” port authorities indicated.
