The destination guide

Buenos Aires is a major South American city destination with strong cultural appeal, restaurants, architecture, tango, private clubs and access to the Río de la Plata.

For yachts, Buenos Aires is more of a city and owner-visit destination than a classic cruising ground. It may suit yachts moving through the South Atlantic, Río de la Plata or regional itineraries involving Uruguay and Argentina.

Guests can enjoy Recoleta, Palermo, San Telmo, Puerto Madero, galleries, steakhouses, opera, polo and wine-country extensions. Marine planning should be handled carefully because river conditions, port arrangements and logistics differ from typical Mediterranean yacht calls.

Superyacht highlights

  • Major South American cultural city
  • Puerto Madero and Río de la Plata access
