Puerto Plata and Playa Dorada
Boating
Ocean World Marina. This state-of-the art marina is strategically positioned between the heavily traveled Florida-Bahamas region and the Puerto Rico-eastern Caribbean region. It has filled a large 300-mi (480-km) void on the North Coast where no full-service marina previously existed. The 35-acre complex has 120 slips that accommodate sailboats of up to 200 feet. It is a port of entry with its own immigration and customs office, concierge, laundry and shower facilities, duty-free shop, food and liquor store, car-rental service (even hourly rentals), and marina store with fishing supplies, as well as an entertainment clubhouse, nightclub, and casino. 3 mi (5 km) west of Puerto Plata, Cofresí, 57000. 809/970-3373 or 809/291-1111. www.oceanworldmarina.com.
