Can anyone tell me if there is a ships chandler in Puerto Plata. I need a few things for my boat and can't believe that a port town won't have one.

Ships Chandler in Puerto Plata area?
Send USER ken a PM on this board, he is a sailor.
You can also ask conchman, he knows yachts as well.
What are you looking for specifically?
Jane,
There is one by the Cargo Port entrance of Puerto Plata port. Come up the road from the Malacon turn right at the little train, then left again under the concrete pylon round the back of the port. Follow the port fence and it is on you left as you approach the port entrance. Dont know the name.

Thanks. I will send Ken a message.

Ocean World Marina will obtain certain items for boats docked in the marina. We may open an official ship chandler business in the near future.
When it comes to finding basic boating necessities, Puerto Plata is as much of a "port town" as Topeka, Kansas. The place that "Olly" mentioned is your best bet, but they don't have much. 90% of what I buy here on the island for my boat I get in Santo Domingo, but in reality 90% of what I actually need comes from NY or Miami.
If you still don't have any luck, depending upon how long you are in port, be a little more specific on what you need, i.e. size & type of anchor, and what type of "liquid" you need to repair your gel coat and maybe we can help you get what you need. I normally keep my boat in Sosua, but it is in Maimon now.
Good Luck.
