Captain George, publisher of "Captain George's Services Guide of Mazatlan for Cruisers, Visitors, and Locals", has lived with his wife, Jackie, and boat dog, Betty Boop aboard the M/Y Shamrock at Marina El Cid for 5 years. He says, "It is the friendly staff of the Marina and the Hotel that keep us here." Cruisers have access to cable television, wireless internet, and purified water on the docks. Additional benefits include: a full-time security staff for the marina and hotel; 30 and 50 amp electrical hook-ups, and a fuel dock.

We note that the amenities of staying at a 5-star resort are also a very good reason to come and stay. We have the luxury of selecting from 3 restaurants, 4 bars, 2 swimming pools, and a hot tub. There is also a convenience store, laundry, shower facility, and on-site medical services.

The weather is delightful and the sunsets from the marina are simply beautiful. We feel very lucky indeed to live in paradise at Marina El Cid. What more could you ask for? Nothing, really.

"A Superior Sailor is best defined as one who uses his Superior Judgment to keep out of situations requiring the use of his Superior Skills."....
