Marina Don José
Downtown inner-harbour marina near the Malecón — well-suited to mid-size cruising boats
Note: Also listed as 'Don José Marina', 'Marina Don Jose' or 'Marina Don Jose Abaroa' in some directories.
Marina Don José is on La Paz's downtown inner harbour, near the Malecón — a practical option for sailors who want to be close to the city without the full resort pricing of CostaBaja.
The marina accommodates approximately 125 slips for vessels up to around 130 feet, with a focus on mid-size powerboats and sailboats. Core services include fuel dock, pump-out, electricity and water hookups, showers, restrooms, laundry, security, and basic repair access. The atmosphere skews more toward a sailing club than a resort — social and sporting activities are part of the Marina Don José culture.
Slip rates are not publicly listed; expect pricing in line with other inner-bay marinas, quoted per foot per day or month. Contact the marina directly for current availability and rates.
