Aqua verde
 Am bringing my inflatable boat down in October, wanted to check out Aqua
verde, I've heard so much about it, staying at villa del palmar south of loreto. Question is how far is the boat ride to Aqua verde from the hotel?
I've read trailering down is not a good idea. driving a 4x4 truck, thanks
If you\'re not living on the EDGE... You\'re taking up too much room! Its never too late for a darkside.

I dunno about the water transit time, but trailering in there is doable with a small trailer....I towed a 14' tin boat in there, but not since the
recent catastrophes...Drove a big pickup with a 10' camper on it....

Is your question about towing your boat down the Auga Verde road, or down to Loreto from the border?
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Both, I think boating to av from the hotel would be more fun and we could fish along the way, but not if its a three hour ride each way.

As the crow flies it is about 25-30 miles.

Will the crow have a different travel time in a boat?

Pick your day carefully, it can be nice and calm in the morning and steep chop by the afternoon. How big is the inflatable? It will be a nice boat
ride.
Living Large in Loreto. Off-grid and happy.

Done it a few times with a 14 ft Zodiac with a 25 HP outboard. From Escondido took little over an hour. If the wind comes up it will be a rough ride
coming home.. But it's a nice outing and great when it's flat. Not much fishing wise on that stretch.

If you were going to camp at Agua Verde, I would not hesitate to take a well made trailer in there. But if you were going to drive in, launch and
recover your boat, then drive back to Loreto the same day, I would rather cruise the shore.
Even if you decide to leave the boat at the hotel, you ought to take the ride in in your truck. Fantastic scenery!
Also, I know from personal experience that you would be better off towing that inflatable with the motor off the transom. Strap it down either in
your truck, or over the axle in the boat.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

It depends on if the crow was drinking the good stuff and holding onto the sides.
I probably should have said carrier pigeon.

Maybe you should have said pelican, he was thinking of fishing on the way.
OK, enough of the hijack!

Speaking of Agua Verde, this is my current desktop - the view from the top of the hill before you drop down to AV (my desktop changes with a photo
I've taken every five minutes).

Maybe someone here can give you current road condition to AV.
I would probably try the sea route, but with these cautions:
As others have said, the chop can come up very fast and I would think an inflatable could become quite a wet ride. Whenever I would attempt a longer
fishing trip out of Mulege in my Panga, or later, my aluminum 18 footer, I would throw a sleeping bag in and not hesitate to head for shelter and let
the winds and the day pass. Plan to take the time to overnight, if necessary, rather than to try and make it back to Loreto. And don't forget to catch
lots of fish!

current road condition
We were there last week. The road condition is very good and on our way back we saw road maintenance crew regrading the road. It rained pretty good
the previous night (7/23) and it didn't seem to have an impact on the road condition. Good luck!
