BOATING

Whether you are a first timer, novice or an experienced handler of the "sheets", there are a wide array of sailing excursions, including a relaxing sunset scenic sail. Take instruction, or a private charter and set sail for the nearby Marietas Islands. Colorful tropical fish, octopus, eels, spotted rays, seahorses, and lobster are all inhabitants. There are also giant Manta Rays and sea turtles that visit this area. Our most popular residents are the Dolphins that inhabit the bay and like to play in the bow waves of the sail boats.
