Welcome to Maritima del Atlantico Boatyard at Ocean World Marina, Puerto Plata, North Coast, Dominican Republic.

As a family owned business with over 20 years experience, our management, staff and long term approved contractors are very well known and respected in the USA and Caribbean boating communities as being totally committed to customer service.

Our yard is equipped with a BFM 70 MARINE TRAVELIFT capable of hauling vessels up to 60 tons with a 19ft beam that have fully comprehensive or 3rd party liability insurance (we can assist you with well priced 3rd party local liability insurance) and we also have a MULTIHULL TRAVELIFT capable of hauling up to 30 tons with a 28 foot beam with both travelifts handling up to 7.5 foot drafts (anything over that can be discussed) plus we have all of our other heavy duty equipment which can take care of all of your needs.

The Maritima del Atlantico Boatyard, also known as Maratlantico, is located in the Ocean World Marina premises (also a family owned business) in Cofresi, Puerto Plata, on the historically known “safe-from-storms” North Coast of the Dominican Republic.  Ocean World Marina has 12ft controlled depth in their small vessel section with specials on longer-term stays which also apply to boatyard storage.          They also provide a fast and easy check-in service in English as a port of entry/departure with all officials on-site and they have the only fuel dock on the North Coast with premium diesel and gasoline, making us the only full-service marina and boatyard located between the heavily travelled Florida/Bahamas area and Puerto Rico/Eastern Caribbean route.

For marina bookings, entry proceedures, insurance requirements or local 3rd party liability plus much more, you can contact them via their website Ocean World Marina – Full service boat yard and marina in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.

Our boatyard, Ocean World Marina plus the marine park are all fully fenced with 24/7 security access gates, 24/7 security guards plus full perimeter and inside lighting throughout the whole complex for your peace of mind, which is backed up by very large generators if the power goes out which unfortunately happens quite often in the Dominican Republic. Even though the Dominican Republic is known by many as a safe tourist destination, you will come to realise that all of us local people take very good care of our tourists so hence why the Dominican Republic is the largest tourist destination in the Caribbean.
