Marina Pez Vela currently has 100 slips and its construction has begun the expansion to 300.

Marketing Manager Andrea Vargas says this expansion will make it the largest marina in Central America. New amenities will be added, including four new restaurants, a full-service yacht yard, a 100-ton haul out, and dry storage facility.

Since opening in 2010, Marina Pez Vela has made guests feel like part of a family. “We are able to deliver anything you need directly to your boat by golf cart. Our staff of service attendants offer personalized attention to our guests’ needs,” Vargas says.

The park is considered one of the most bio-diverse areas in the world. Sportfishing ranks highest among many activities at Marina Pez Vela with sailfish, marlin, tuna, dorado, and wahoo among some of the trophies available to catch.
