The Cabo San Lucas marina, a body of water where there are around 1,900 boats, announced Jesús López, captain of the port.
During the hurricane season, it is common to see how the owners or managers of the ships, when faced with the threat of a high-category hurricane, prefer to keep them on dry land, so that they do not suffer damage from the strong waves that form during these weather events.
It was last August 6 when strong waves and winds occurred in Los Cabos, because a hurricane was forming in the Pacific Ocean, resulting in two boats that were anchored in the bay being affected because they broke loose and ended up on the shore of the beach, one being rescued and the other being badly damaged, which is why many of the yachts are taken out of the marina because they consider it may be riskier to face a hydrometeorological phenomenon than on dry land.
Likewise, before, during and after a tropical cyclone, the Harbor Master’s Office is responsible for communicating the weather conditions to the maritime community and suspending nautical activities, as deemed appropriate.
During the last weather threat, they gave instructions, however, there were those who expressed their criticism of the decision of the authority in charge, arguing that the sea was at that time like a mirror, a situation that a few hours later caused two boats to run aground on the shore of the beach as a result of the waves that suddenly changed.
The marina has capacity for yachts up to 114 meters long (375 feet) with a vertical distance from the waterline and the baseline (draft) of 8.8 meters (29 feet), as well as all types, colors and sizes, with varying costs for all budgets.
For sport fishing or a walk along the bay, watching a sunset can cost 3 thousand pesos, diving or snorkeling from 1,500 pesos, dinner to watch a sunset, dinner and artistic variety plus open bar more than 2 thousand pesos, parachuting from 1,600 pesos.
