I wish I had picture of the "Cozumel Mobile Marine Service Unit." Anyone one that has been to Caleta much has seen it. It is a ratty old Toyota pickup I think with a hoist in the back corner for lifting motors.

I'm just shocked that a Mexican government run real estate development project had some missteps.
Shocked I tell ya!

The marina did not 'open', it is a refugee center. I think Inter-Contenital hotels (El Presidente) is going forward with their development of the Caleta 'concession' they extracted from Government to bail out FONATUR, after they botched the design. This has caused the eviction of the current boats to the unfinished marina, which was never designed for working boats.
I hope I am wrong but access to the existing Caleta I fear will be cut off in the near future, regardless of the status of the new Marina

Well, great to hear. NO ONE is complaining about the new marina. I better PM Gov Borge's cell number to someone I know.... And now that it is open and people are using it, they decided to build some buildings of its administration there. Perhaps if the buildings go well, parking lots next!

Said missing details for Marina FONATUR, but considered minimal, and said "I think the most important is the access channel for boats of high magnitude that can reach up to 150 feet, I think that's the next stage. I talked to the director general of FONATUR Hector Barraza Gómez, he will soon be with us on a tour here in Cozumel and we'll be seeing the Navy missing FONATUR details ". He indicated that they will build the buildings for the administration of the marina with an investment ranging from 10 to 12 million pesos, "the Navy FONATUR will be a pride for all Cozumeleños, will see the amount of ships that are coming that will be generating economic benefit, that will generate profits from loading fuel and supplies.
