Okay! I got an answer from some cruisers in Luperon... Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It’s important to note that the recent cleanup in Luperon is part of a government initiative to address long-standing issues with abandoned and unkempt vessels. While it’s true that some boats have been marked, many of these vessels have not paid harbor or mooring fees for years, have become a hazard to others, or are no longer sea-worthy. This cleanup effort is aimed at improving safety and the overall cruising experience in Luperon. While the process could have been handled differently, the intention is to enhance the harbor's condition, making it a better and safer destination for cruisers. We encourage boat owners to stay informed about their obligations and the ongoing improvements in the area.
