Gulf of Paria — Unusual Tidal Range & Venezuela Warning
The Gulf of Paria has a tidal range of 0.9–1.5m (semi-diurnal) — significantly larger than the 0.3m typical of most Caribbean islands. Set anchor scope for high-water depth in all Chaguaramas anchorages. Venezuela is 11km west — do NOT enter Venezuelan waters under any circumstances (piracy risk). Bocas del Drago passages have 2–4kt tidal currents — time entries with current tables. Customs and immigration mandatory at Chaguaramas Yacht Services on arrival.
