anyone know if the fishing coop members are the only ones that can moor a boat monthly at the marina?
did the coop pay and build the marina?
I tried to ask the manager, but I don't think he understood my questions...
thanks in advance

The marina was originally built by the Federal Government, and was given as a gift to the people of Loreto in the 80's.. API came along a few years
ago and took over operations of the marina for consideration/ security of the cruise ships coming to Loreto.. They put in place a launch ramp fee and
collect a monthly fee from the commercial boats that have slips.
You can request an "overnight" pass if you need to tie up at the dock and they have the space to accommodate you.. Pompano - 5-20-2015 at 11:19 AM
Hola La Tijereta...so then, do you know if a non-commercial boat can get a monthly slip at the Loreto marina... or must one pay a fee for launching
for each time...or ?chuckie - 5-20-2015 at 12:24 PM
While I am not certain of this, we were there for three consecutive days and paid a fee each day...If I understood the answer to your question, which
we asked more than once....it was a pay by the day deal....We did not want to leave the boats in the water onite....more trouble taking everything out
of them than pulling the boats....LaTijereta - 5-20-2015 at 01:25 PM

Roger.. No monthly slips available for sportfishing boats.. Launch fee is running $160mp a day to put in/out.. Talk of expanding it to a larger marina
w/ slips.. keyword is 'talk"..Hoagey - 5-20-2015 at 02:16 PM

API is the main gun. Administracion of ports, ferries and associated stuff.
Local coop are the captains of the pangas, floating in the pool.
Que Honda LaTijereta!

Yup, No overnight slips . Put in and pull out same day . Then several years ago they started charging a fee to launch ...Their are no services for
that fee , just the privilege to launch your boat and then try to find a place to park your truck and trailer .
Loreto is a cute little town and the people are fantastic but the marina situation is chalenging . Although , it is a helluva spectacle in the summer
seeing 40 boats jam the marina as the bait guys jump from boat to boat and fill your bait tank with Sardines .
Oh Loreto , I just don't have the energy to launch everyday and find it quite comforting that my boat now lives in a slip in La Paz. vandenberg - 5-21-2015 at 02:04 PM

Drawback of any of La Paz's downtown marinas is the long way travel to any decent fishing grounds, especially at Mexico's fuel prices.
Remember Escondido has a perfectly good ramp at the end of the road, paid for by gringos. After completed overhaul, Fonatur started charging launch
fees and than, when the new facilities were completed, shut it down completely.
