Hasta pronto amiga...! If the weather doesn't improve, i'm not going home til it does!!!

Alberto picked us up yesterday promptly at 10 at the pier for a four hour tour. It was amazing! We were out only 10 minutes and came across a HUGE Manta... 1500 kilos... at least 14 feet across! We wished we had jumped in an swam with it. We saw at least 8 more... not quite as big as the first. We also saw 3 or more giant turtles... the guys went snorkeling at Los Arcos... but the visibility just really isn't good on the west coast. We then toured the coastline to Los Animas... came through a pod of yellow fin, tried fishing, but no luck. We had a great time, and Alberto was a great guy to go with.
I would highly recommend going out on the water during your visit in PV.

Day trip
Since we are on the subject. I was considering taking my sister on a day trip to Yelepa. The other conversation. But if going out with you for a day is an option, Im open to offers. There are 6 of us. 4 adults and 2 children looking for up to 3 or 4 hours of some snokeling and a nice beach for an afternoon. Any ideas on cost?
I can give you an email if thats best.

Boat Rental
We are going to be in Boca De Tomatlan in June. There will be a group us there and we have a house rented for a month.
It was or plan to bring one or two boats with us but it might be easier if we could rent or charter a boat while we are there.
I am not interested in daily charters or rental. Who do you recommend we talk to for a month long rental or charter? We intend to fish and dive while we are there and possibly use the boat for transport from the house to the PV Marina where we will store one of our vehicles.

Mark,
There would be alot of issues in you renting a panga in PV. It would have to be a larger private boat in the marina and then that would probably be difficult to do.
Some of the issues in renting a panga would be:
The boats are used for income purposes either fishing or tourist tours so to compensate someone what they would potentially earn for a month could be quite costly for you.
The permits, insurance, etc. are tied directly to the captain's name along with the boat, so you are not going to be operating the boat that is permitted to someone else.
To get back and forth to your car in the marina your best option would be to use the water taxis from Boca.
