Walt, we had an awesome time. The boat is GORGEOUS and she definitely raised some fish!!!! You have alot to be proud of there.

For everyone in SFC land, if you're down in Isla you should stop by the marina and check her out.

Here's a few pics of the Contango

Walt,

Boat rode great in some rough seas and fishes very nice. Probably one of the best riding head sea boats I have ever fished on. We had a great time down there.

Thanks
Jim

Thanks Jim, I enjoyed the pictures and the reports from Keith. Looks like you all had a good time!

Bobfish, I don't claim to be the Isla expert, as we are just down there for a short period of time fishing with some friends.

I know the Keen M is pretty dialed in down there with Sailfishing, I beleive they run a couple of boats and also can help with hotels, etc. They have a web site, you might start there.

Bobfish,

We have always stayed at Villa Bella which is on the east side of the island and looks directly out over the cliff to a view of the Ocean. They have a pool, they have an on premises bar and serve breakfast every day except Tuesday which is their day to go off island and restoke the supplies. The rooms are nice and clean. The Palapas are really cool if available. There are not all of the creature comforts of say a US hotel or resort. The owners Ashley and Curtis are husband and wife and they are just downright great people, are both from the US which makes it very helpful if you do not speak spanish. They can also recommend and direct you to anything on the island that you want to see or do. Reasonable rates and good location. Check them out on the web.

If you are looking for high end upscale then goto Rolandi's Resort. It is pricy but just like staying in a 4 star US hotel.

You can also stay right at the Marina Villa Vera Puerto Isla Mujeres Marina.

As far as fishing you can contact Capt. Ruben Pena seahuahuau@hotmail.com. He can get you hooked up with someone. He is a world class captain and mate and owns his own 33' panga for fishing and snorkling trips but can get you hooked up with someone else's boat if you want to fish on a sportfisher as well. The Keen M is also a good choice as Walt suggested.

Have a great trip.
Thanks
Jim
