What we do
Services
Ship visits
We have trained volunteers that enjoy coming to your ship and sharing friendly conversation. Tired of seeing the same faces and hearing the same stories?
Reading materials
English magazines and books are plentiful and freely given at no cost. We occasionally have foreign language materials also. We often bring a random collection to your gangway but there are plenty more inside the center for you to choose and carry back to your ship.
Free Internet
Free internet is available 24/7 at our center. The network password can be found on the "Welcome" sign above the guestbook.
SIM cards
We try to stock international SIM cards to help seafarers connect with family and friends via the internet. Text us on Whats App +1.361.987.0569 or Fb Messenger @ptcomfortsc to check current stock.
Package delivery
You can shop online and send the packages to us. Maybe your family wishes to mail something to you? We will bring your parcels to your ship after your arrival. Address for delivery is:
Our Lady of the Gulf Catholic Church
