No, that is not correct. VilMar corporate office is in Gardena, CA. I say it would be convenient for you if your boat is located in Avalon. I am moving my boat from Costa Baja marina to Marina de La Paz on November1. Southern California marina prices have come to La Paz. Costa Baja marina is now charging $15 to $20 per foot per foot plus electricity and water. Marinas in San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo are charging $30 to $40 per foot per month. Four or five years ago, you could get marina space in a Paz for $5 to $10 per foot. Mexico is no longer the bargain it used to be. Even diesel fuel which was $2 per gallon is being allowed to float in price by the Mexican government over the next two years until it reaches parity with world market pricing.
