| Boats |
| Unless you're among those bringing their boats to La Guaira for the event or for the season (many anglers from the U.S. and the Caribbean do so), you will also need to charter a boat for the three (3) days of competition. There are top quality boats available in Venezuela for the tournament. For those bringing your boats, Playa Grande Yachting Club will make a limited number of slips available at their marina for the week of the tournament and these will be offered on a first come first served basis. |
