Security Issues at Darien City Docks, Darien River, departing the AICW at Statute Mile 653
Lack of security is not limited to Darien City Docks and Captain Stephens offers good advice to transients at almost all public marinas. Especially in the current economy, break-ins have been increasing in the past two years. Even at gated marinas, thefts are not uncommon these days. The two-nights-free Darien City Docks are in a friendly, lovely small town – a highly recommended side trip off the Waterway.
If you do dock at Darien, make sure you lock your boat and anything else you would like to keep when you go ashore. This is a public area with marginal lighting and absolutely NO security. Several boats have been broken into in the past several years, including mine! The police officer told me people roam around the area at all hours of the night!!
