Scenic Boat Tours

So a friend from Chapala Legion put together a Boat Trip for about 50 people with one of the local Charter Companys
Sounds like fun, so I spring for the 200 pesos each ( bout 30.00 )
We meet at a pier where a shuttle boat takes us out to our ride... the tour boat holds 150 or more people
Started at 4PM and was scheduled to return at 7PM
We spent our time at the onboard bars, a fine meal, and dancing to mostly Beatle Tunes in Spanish.... which was a hoot!!
Touring around Lake Chapala until the sunset and returno to our point of origin....
At roughly 7PM the shuttle boat joins us to take everyone to shore...
One of the Crew Members suggests if we aren’t in a hurry... we can catch a ride back with the Crew in another hour or so...
We happily retake our seats at our table and continue to work on their Bar Supplies
We didn’t get off of that boat until 10PM!!

The Captain said they put togeather Charters for groups as small as 35
Now There.... would be a dandy place for a swarm!!

Reccommend it to anyone who wants a Fun Afternoon.... but take some friends

Sounds like a hoot.
I agree, sounds like a good swarm event.

Oh yes! That woud be a perfect venue for a swarm. Thanks for the review Hocks.

Sounds like fun Hockables! I've always wanted to attend a swarm. Sadly, I'm not retired. I work M-F 8:30am-5:00pm for a U.S. company.

If there is any chance of planning an outing like this on the afternoon of January 21st (MLK Day), you could count me in - and I'll definately bring others with me.

That sounds wonderful! We'd love to be included if a boat swarm happens!

You halfta work on improving your retirement situation!

The Captain left his Business Card with one of my Compadres...
I will get it or ask Tom, who arranged this tour, for any and all info...
then turn it over to CanuckyBob for consideration.

I am totally in on this idea. Sounds like a blast. Once you get the info I will make some arrangements. I suppose there would be some sort of minimum number required?

Ohhh Hockables... I wish! I'm in my thirties. It will be just a bit longer for me. But this is how I feel some days when there are so many folks out having fun in the sun and I'm working at the computer...

We went on that boat, the"Batur" or something like that in October. It was a private party For the Chapala Medical Association . The food and sot drinks were included but not alcohol. They were charging $100.00 pesos for a mixed drink and I don't know how much for a beer.
Also, they told us that if anyone got drunk they put a lifevest on you and make you sit in a chair.

LOL.... they must have seen all those rich doctors coming!!
They were charging us 20 pesos for a drink

That sounds like a great idea for a swarm,worth driving in from Guadalajara for.

Well I think we need 40 people to book this boat so we would need a strong turnout for sure.

If there is any chance of getting Jan. 21st (MLK Day) - I should be able to get 4-7 people in my group.

I bet 40 attendees is do-able if you get the word out early enough.

Jan 21 would work for me however I'll be in Phoenix from Jan. 16 to 20 so somebody would need to work on this project with me as we may be needing to push hard for attendance during the week leading up to it.

bump

We would love to attend....we are arriving early January. Count us in for 2.
