If sport fishing is your forte you're in luck! There's more than a great "fishing hole" near Chateau Manzanillo. We've listed just a few great boat rentals and guides.

Boat Rentals

If you are interested in renting a boat for cruising or fishing, you can call Sam and Marilyn Short at 335-0605, their boats are safe, but less the luxurious, they also speak English. Their price begins at $185.00 for 5 hours on a 26’ cruiser. Our preference is to go to Las Hadas Marina and walk around and look for a boat crew that is cleaning or talk to the harbormaster and find a boat this way. Las Hadas is gated, but just say "marina se renta barco" and they will normally let you in. You want to set this up the day before you are interested in going out. If the boat is nice and about 38 feet or more you can make offer starting at $250.00 US for about 6-8 hours. These boats rent for usually $400.00 to $1,000.00 USD per day or more. If you just want to go for a boat ride, you can walk along the beach towards the airport about 2 miles to the very end of the beach. There you can rent a "ponga" for about $20 to $30 per hour for a sightseeing tour or they may also have fishing poles on board so you can fish.
