Thanks for the video. I’m looking at a boat in that yard. Hopefully I can do most of the work myself. My main concern is getting tools and equipment in from the US.
Good luck with your purchase. Be mindful of the insanely hot and humid summers. Prices have gone up a 100% for yard work too in San Carlos. Bring as much supplies as you can. Availability of marine items in area is very limited. Cheers and thanks for watching.
I found your comments to be good and helpful. A word of warning and reality for cruisers coming to San Carlos for boat storage and boat refit projects. Not just in SC but everywhere including here in the US!
@@sailingkeylimepie-pirateflag I came down to La Paz last Nov. with the Baja Ha ha 2022. Hope to run into you one of these days. My boat is named Rachel Lynn a Fairweather Mariner 39.
Yeah my experience at that yard while shopping I was only allowed 20 min to inspect the boat. Insane Hot. Would not be my first choice I found better places in North Carolina
This warning seems mis-directed. It's not about "the yard"... it's about the contract worker(s) you were dealing with. He was clearly not reliable... BUT faulting San Carlos Marina (as the title indicates) seems like a misnomer. Also, this behavior (not working until you're there; pushing schedule boundaries, etc.) is absolutely common in the US too. In my experience, it's not about location, it's just a recurrent "marine contractor" behavior. Pawel is correct, you need to be wary, involved and create a tight schedule.

@@rbrt1465 I should be in La Paz next month. Friend me on insta under same handle.
I’ve heard of this happening many times
I've emailed them 3 times asking for estimates on installing water makers and solar and have never gotten a reply.
i wouldn’t hold your breath. You’ll have to arrange that when you get there. Just know that yard fees have gone up almost 100% per month. 🫣

Where in NC ?

interesting point. Thank you for your input and time to share and watch the video. Cheers.
Are you still in San Carlos at the moment?
Yes
My boat is now in dry storage in Marina Seca I refuse to pay cartel control for their illegal takeover.
Thank you for sharing
Trust but Verify.
It happens every where, unfortunately for marina's they don't seem to realise everyone hauls out ,so just boycott that marina
maybe you could show sailing footage while you're talking.
Thank you for your comment. I certainly will, once I get back in the water 🫡
