Horta marina price increases?

[dogboat]

Heading out to the azores may/June and heard a rumour that there has been a massive price increase at Horta marina, 100 euros a night for a 30 footer! Of course I'm dubious of such rumours but I am finding it difficult to find anything online. The normal marinasazores.com doesn't seem up anymore?

That's interesting. Can I ask what you paid?

Go to Terceira instead. Much prettier and about £20/night for a 50fter. You can also pay for mooring fees AND FUEL by card (Horta you have to pay cash for fuel).

Thanks for the advise. We plan to visit quite a few of the islands before heading south, any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I've sent an email to the OCC Port Officer at Horta.

Will come back when I get a response.

Flores is well worth a visit. Peaceful after a transat.

You can anchor in Horta by the way!

We plan to anchor a lot. Heard it's quite tricky in the azores due to obvious reasons. I think the fisherman use a fisherman type anchor made from rebar that bends under pressure if you get fouled?

I rang them just now and was assured their prices are unchanged since 2010.They told me to call again on Monday for the price list.
This actually interests me,it could be a good destination for my summer cruise if I can find the time for it.

After hearing from others about the welcome and beauty of Flores we regretted going straight past it. Another time perhaps.
