Torontonian Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I realize that docking the boat is the problem. Are there any places between Chapala and Jocotepec where we can dock? Am thinking of the boats out of Chapala. How far west could they go? If someone has done this recently please post your experience. Thanks Linda .

Torontonian Posted April 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 El Cartero, I am wondering about renting a boat to hold at least two, maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cartero Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Who's going to captain the boat? IMO the lake is a little tricky if you don't know it and so nothing I know of in the way of rental. If you want a boat with a captain I'm certain you could work out something with one of the many at the Chapala pier. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torontonian Posted April 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Yes, I'm wondering if anyone has taken one from the Chapala pier. And if so, where could we stop and get off? I am wondering if any of the malecons or piers along the way, going west, are currently accessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdmowers Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 There is the pier in Ajijic which from which you might be able to disembark from one of the small "lanchas", 6-8 person boats. I don`t believe there are any docks or piers from there to Joco. You could go to Isla de los Alacranas or Isla de Mezcala and disembark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Berca Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 No inexperienced person should be out on the lake alone without an experienced person. The lake is full of hard to see or invisible hazards especially from Joco to Chapala. Many, many invisible fishermen's nets and all you can see are the four floating plastic bottles anchoring the ends of each net. In some places, the nets are so close together you can't tell from the floating bottles exactly where the nets are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned small Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 If you hire a boat with captain you can get off wherever you want on the north shore and south. There are many places you can do this. I have to laugh when just the Chapala and Ajijic piers are mentioned. As well as piers and malecons all around there are landfalls that you can use too.
