What’s Shaking @ Marina Pez Vela
The HEAT IS ON here at Marina Pez Vela in April. More than just a reference to one of the warmest months here in paradise at the end of the traditional dry season, the temps here at MPV are on high as this is another action packed time for us at the Marina. April includes one of the busiest and most sacred holidays here in Costa Rica, Semana Santa, as well as the Marina Pez Vela open and the Offshore World Championships.
Semana Santa, April 2 – April 9
From Palm Sunday, Domingo de Ramos to Easter Sunday, Costa Rica celebrates the iconic Semana Santa. This week sees a huge part of the nations population, concentrated in the Central Valley flocking to the beaches and coastal communities to celebrate. Quepos and the marina is no exception, and this is one of the most exciting and busy weeks of our year. At the marina we’ll be having a special schedule of activities, beginning on Wednesday 5th with the last Movie Night of the season; the on Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be offering live music and traditional folk dance during sunset.

Offshore World Championships, April 16-April 21
The Super Bowl of sports fishing returns to Costa Rica again this April and will be bringing together the World’s Best Anglers to compete for ths coveted World Championship title. Unlike most tournaments here in Costa Rica and around the world, the OWC requires that teams have won a prequalifying tournament to participate and anglers fish all days on a rotation of Costa Rican flagged vessels. This tournament is an important support for a local charter fleet. There is no better time to come to the Marina and watch the international teams with their daily weigh ins, national flags and team spirit and 4 days of the worlds most competitive fishing. These anglers compete by international rules, don’t have the luxury of their own boats, captains and crews and are on a new boat each day to insure parity and a focus on angler skills. Come out and support all the international teams, but moreover Costa Rica and Marina Pez Vela as the host of this global celebration and competition.
