Boating on Lake Atitlan

One of the beauty of living on Lake Atitlan is the ability to cruise on an empty lake..
Most of the time you won't see private boat.. Only regular lanchas which are the public transportation system. Mostly between Panajachel and Santiago Atitlan from the public beach.. and from San Pedro's pier to Santa Cruz La Laguna, Jaibalito, Tzununa, San Marcos La Laguna, San Pablo La Laguna, San Juan La Laguna and San Pedro.. you have also a public line between San Pedro La Laguna and Santiago Atitlan.
Either than that you have very few private boats.. mostly from Guatemalan coming on week end and very few expats living on the lake..
We  just got the used Cobia with a gorgeous 150 Hp Yamaha four stroke.. Silent and powerful.
A great work done my Lineas Marinas de la Marina Kayuko.. en great shop that can fix your boat if needed.

now the next step is to get one of these beautiful brand new boat..like this Orus Robalo R 180 for $ 34,990 without the engine

I like the middle size boat for Atitlan.. 17 ft to 20Ft are good size.. Longer the boats are too long for the piers either private or public..

You can also decide to import your own boat as there is a trade agreement between USA and Guatemala and boat are custom taxes free.. but you need to deal with people with experience with this matter as it can turn out expensive if not done properly.
