Currently on passage through the Caribbean via Panama to Thailand on an 86' Power Cat with 27 foot beam, and planning some preventative maintenance in the Caribbean en route -- including having her hauled, new anti-fouling, replacing rudder and shaft seals, some work on the CAT turbos, minor fiberglass work etc. before the Transpacific voyage. Now in the Turks & Caicos and looking at hauling her out over New Year's at Puerto del Rey Marina in Puerto Rico. Any input on quality or cost of work at Puerto del Rey versus other locations in the Caribbean would be appreciated. Recommendations where to load 3500 gallons of fuel in the Caribbean (before Venezuela) would also be extremely helpful!
Sorry I don't have the info you are requesting. But I sure would like to see some pic's and learn about a 86 power cat with a 27 beam Regards, RT46
RT46, some videos of Azure II (ex. Pacific Harmony) can be seen on this Thread from earlier this year http://www.yachtforums.com/index.php?threads/pacific-harmony-86-power-cat.22997/#post-197280
A friend of mine has has a fair amount of work done there including a full paint job on a 110'. He and the boats owner were happy with the work. If you like I could give you the contact information for a PR captain friend of mine who knows the place well and could give you more detailed information on the place.
Captain Bill an introduction to your friend who knows Puerto del Rey well would be a huge help -- I'll send you a private message for contact details and many thanks in advance.
I spent a few days there, it is first class. The owner was happy with work and storage there (55' Sailboat) FYI, that is where Capt. Ron came in "hot" during the Happy Hour Party!!
Azure has been at Puerto del Rey for the past two weeks having work done. The Travelift which can handle a 30 foot beam handled our 27 foot beam with no problem and Ken and his team at Island Marine who has been handling the refit work has been doing great work -- highly recommend him to anyone seeking refit work in the Caribbean.
