Marina of 145 berths in the centre of Mindelo on São Vicente island (Cape Verde), for vessels up to 45 m, a stopover before the Atlantic crossing.
Marina Mindelo is in the centre of Mindelo, on the island of São Vicente in the Cape Verde archipelago. Its official website advertises 145 berths for vessels up to 45 m (150 ft), including 63 berths with 63 A hook-ups, along with arrival assistance and maintenance services. The telephone is +238 2 300 032 and reception can be reached at reception@marinamindelo.cv. Fuel, water, customs, VHF channel and draft are not specified by the website and are left blank. According to Noonsite (a secondary source), Mindelo is a stopover for ARC+ participants and many crews stop there before crossing the Atlantic. According to a cruising account published in 2012 by the yacht Mollymawk, the marina took the place of a quay where the packet boats used to berth, which later fell into disrepair and was used by fishermen.
