The fishing in Cabo was the best it's been in decades which kept us all guessing until the last minute. As it turned out, eighteen teams took home prizes between the Los Cabos Offshore and Black & Blue. Record setting crowds attended the weigh-ins in front of the Puerto Paraiso Mall. There was plenty of action to keep them entertained, and for those who couldn't attend, there was lots of coverage on the internet including a live webcam at the scales, real-time catch reporting, GPS tracking of every boat in the tournament in a "Google-Earth" type format and, for the first time in history, a live broadcast from offshore. Thanks very much to all our sponsors and everyone who attended. We had a blast! See you next year! R.

Isla San Jose, Manzana 10

Island 10 is scheduled for completion before Christmas. The channels all around the island have been excavated to depth.  The infrastructure: power, water, sewer and phones, is being installed. The banks around the island are being sloped in preparation for the rock covering.  Those of you who have and will purchase on Island 10 will be able to begin home construction after the first of the year.

If you haven't toured or haven't returned for a second tour, now is the time.  This is the fun stuff: seeing your town being built.  You will have another "I remember when" story for the grandkids.

Here's a photo showing the driveway on island 10 being built.

Bisbee's Black and Blue Marlin Tournament

If you haven't had an opportunity to go hang out at the Bisbee's tournament, you're missing quite a show. Very appropriately, the 30th annual Bisbee's Black and Blue Marlin Tournament has been a record breaker and broken new ground with some neat technology. The boats can be tracked by GPS from your computer. You can also see live video from on-board several boats. Today (Friday, 22 Aug) is the last day.

The Cabo Riviera sales booth is located directly in front of the weigh station. We witnessed some "reel" fish drama throughout the afternoon and well into the evening.  Tuesday, day 1,  was amazing.  The fish just kept getting bigger.  300 pounders up to 400 pounders and then 500 pounders.  Finally a nice 599 pound fish was weighed and looked like it just might be the winner. However, Wayne Bisbee announced that "The Great Escape" was still hooked up and had been fighting a large marlin for a few hours. The crowd refused to leave until the boat came in, hoping it would make the cutoff time of 9PM.  You can still weigh a fish but it WILL NOT COUNT after 9.  As the clocked crept towards the cutoff, Wayne gave us updates on the status of the fish. Finally at 5 minutes after 9, they made it to the dock.  As the huge marlin was wheeled towards the scale, a low murmur from the crowd turned into cheering. The fish was slowly pulled up and the scale kept climbing.  It bounced quickly past 300, 400, 500 and finally landed on 800 pounds! Although it would not be counted, the crowd of several hundred people showed their appreciation and gave the crew of "The Great Escape" a huge ovation.

October Sales Update Cabo Riviera

We're still moving property here at Cabo Riviera.
Below is the master plan. Red lots are sold, blue lots are reserved and white lots are available.  The other lots are outside of Phase One and will be available later. There are plenty of good lots remaining. If you want a certain lot that is not in Phase One, contact me.  I can make you a deal for the lot at today's price.


I've been told by some of my prospective buyers, "I'll wait until I see some buildings out there. I don't care about any discounts for pre-construction."  Very good, I understand completely. The only issue with that is availability.  The Cabo Riviera marina is completely unique in Baja Sur. You can't buy a lot on the water in a marina and dock your boat next to it in BAJA SUR anywhere except in Cabo Riviera. 


Most of us are guilty of missing good opportunities and then later regretting it.  Please take time to review the master plan. Don't wait until your favorite lot is sold.

Bisbee's Black and Blue - 2010

Just a quick reminder that the Bisbee's Black and Blue marlin tournament is coming.  October 19 is just around the corner.  The Bisbee's East Cape Offshore was a huge success this year and it's normally a predictor of how the Bisbee's Black and Blue will go. Cabo Riviera is and will be a supporter of the Bisbee's tournaments.

Make time to visit Cabo Riviera. The marina will be a sport fisherman's paradise. Keep your sportfisher by the house. Get up, walk out the back door to the boat and be fishing minutes later.
