 Puerto Galera Pilot
(How To Get To Puerto Galera by Sea)
How to get to Puerto Galera by sea: we are privileged that so many ocean wanderers have sailed into the Puerto Galera Yacht Club over the years. We pick the brains of recent arrivals to Puerto Galera and gather new information from their passage into the Philippines, across the West Pacific and the South China Sea, en route to paradise. We soon expect to be able to provide a complete set of how to get to cruising routes to meet the needs of all yachtswo/men, no matter from what direction they approach. Revisit this page regularly to see how full the Puerto Galera Pilot has become or go to the Where to Stay in Puerto Galera section to find what to do once you get here.

Caution: If you arrive off Puerto Galera in the dark and have not navigated the inner bays before, we recommend that you anchor outside until daylight. Suitable overnight safe anchorage will be found: west of Paniquian Island, during the NE monsoon; and, in Varadero Bay or Coral Cove, during the SW monsoon. By kind permission of the UK Hydrographic Office you can view a modified digital image of Admiralty chart A3559 "Anchorages in Luzon, Mindoro and Marinduque" and locate the safe anchorages mentioned and also the recommended safe route to the club moorings in Muelle Bay.
Clicking on the thumbnail image (right) for a free download of the chart -- the full image (approx. 365 KB) will display within a few seconds. Using dial-up? be patient. This digital image should be used for reference only and not for navigation.

Puerto Galera Rover
(How to Get To Puerto Galera over Land)
Updated January 2009 For many years the idea of travelling to Puerto Galera over land was akin to planning to ascend Mt. Everest; today there are so many choices and it takes so little time to get here that the only remaining question is: which mode of transport would you prefer today? Recommended bus lines and ferry schedules to Puerto Galera are in the free downloadable How To Get To Puerto Galera guides (right). Whichever route you choose, don't forget to be at the yacht club on Friday evening for the Bar-B-Q.

Puerto Galera Aeronaut
(How to Get To Puerto Galera by Air)
Updated January 2009 Get to Puerto Galera by air: on a clear day you can see forever . . . flying around the rim of frighteningly powerful volcanos, crossing the chasm of a tectonic joust, one can be forgiven for believing that paradise must be on the other side of the globe. But then, within 30 minutes, the jewel of Mindoro appears below and you can see why Puerto Galera has traditionally been the whispered word amongst the rich and famous -- travel here by air and Hawaii becomes a distant memory.
