The season, the boats, and a five minute walk to the dock.

Marina Pez Vela runs a tournament calendar from November through June, and this hotel sits at the top of the hill above it. Anglers staying here walk down to the boat rather than driving to it, which is the whole reason this page exists.

Marina Pez Vela is a 5 min walk from the front desk.

About this page

We are not the tournament organiser and we do not run the boats. We do the part around them: a quiet room at the end of the day, a kitchen that cooks what you caught, and a walk to the dock rather than a taxi at half past five.

Every event below links to the organiser, because they own the rules, the entry fees and the schedule, and those change. The dates here were checked against each organiser's own page rather than copied from a list.

The closest hotel to Marina Pez Vela.

The forward calendar.

Every tournament still ahead of us at Marina Pez Vela and The Pescadora. A passed event drops off this list on its own, so what you are reading is what is left.

Dates come from each organiser's own page. Registration and captain's meetings usually fall the evening before the first fishing day, so read their schedule before booking your nights.

The boats we book.

Three charters, run by operators we have worked with for years. We book them for guests; we do not own them, and the crew is theirs, not ours.

Prices are per boat, not per angler, and come from the charter listings on our experiences pages. Split between four or six people they read differently from the way they read alone.

Bring it back and we will cook it.

Coconuts by The Falls will cook your catch. It is the reason a fishing day here ends at a table rather than at a cooler in a car park.

The kitchen runs from the early afternoon into the evening, so a boat coming in at three or four has plenty of room. Tell the kitchen on your way past the pool and they will have it ready.

Kitchen 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM
