Reaching Turtle Island ....

Margarita fisherman discovered his passion for the sea early in the port of Punta de Piedras. There he dived to collect coins thrown by tourists from the ferry. In 1996 he lost one of his lungs, while searching for lobsters in the deep sea. Today, despite its limitations, has not lost its vitality. Remember that La Tortuga is a paradise for fishing in its various forms. Not surprisingly, every year there is a significant event in the water fishing. The grunt, skate, barracuda, dorado, grouper, snapper and lobster are the specimens most sought after by fishermen.
Soon, the Sicania skirts the coast of the island and continues its journey to Punta del Este, the venue for camping. Eduardo, cook, sailor and pilot of Sicania relates that, in recent years, La Tortuga has become one of the favorite destinations for marine boaters. All weekend, yachts, sailboats and boats of different carats and different flags off its coast dock and take their virgin spaces.
But most times, its deserted beaches offer travelers the opportunity to enjoy its scenery alone, without being disturbed by large crowds.
