Karla & Erick | Cabo Realty | Century 21 Paradise Properties

What is the Puerto Los Cabos Marina? It’s the full-service marina in La Playita, San José del Cabo, with about 230 floating concrete slips in operation (plans call for 400), a mega-yacht zone for boats up to 250 feet, a fuel dock and a boatyard with a 150-ton travel lift. It sits about 10 miles from the Gordo Banks, one of the best marlin and tuna grounds in Los Cabos. Its waterfront walkway is open to the public day and night. This guide covers the marina, the fishing and what it means for buyers from California, Texas and Arizona.
