WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

As mentioned below the check-in process can be very time consuming and onerous. While it is possible to do this yourself and the the officials are all very friendly it takes time and that’s if you don’t have any complications. It took a full day for two boats of 5 crew. We had an issue with one of our crews visa (our mistake), and the immigration officer rang Alejandro to help assist us in resolving the issue. From that point on Alejandro went well over and above to try and assist us with no promise of any financial reward. In short he does an amazing job of facilitating and speeding up the check in process at the many different offices providing the best experience possible for visitors and is well respected by all the different officials. And if you have any complications he’s the person you want by your side. Alejandro then stayed in contact for the rest of our stay ensuring that we had all the info we required to maximise the quality of our experience during the limited time we had at Los Roques. We would thoroughly recommend using his services for your check-in so you can get back out on the water in as short as possible time and enjoy this amazing paradise. You can contact Alejandro on WhatsApp (+58 4122126051) Thank you Alejandro, we can’t thank you enough for all your time and support. All the best, from the Nikau team.

We have made stop in Los Roques on our way to Curacao. We spend only one week in this absolute fantastic place, much too short to discover and explore all the small islands and beautiful anchor placess. We have seen a lot of places in the Caribbean before but Los Roques is definitively number one for us. Before our arrival we had contacted Alejandro (+584122126051) to prepare entry and exit formalities, support us with his local knowledge and services through the islands. Alejandro was an excellent choice, very helpful answering questions within minutes 24h/7d all along our trip, providing us with complementary and detailed information about routes, anchor places and restaurants... Check-in and Check out process was really easy through him and conform to the budget provided before. People on Gran Roques and the islands are very friendly and open for exchanges, the coastguard team visiting our boat for a safety check was very friendly and offering support in any case of trouble or need. We never felt insecure throughout our stay, even in the most isolated anchor places where we enjoyed cristall clear water, virgin coral banks, fishes, white beaches and the most fantasic degrees of blue shades ever seen before so far. A real adventure not to be missed.

The Los Roques archipelago and Islas Las Alves are breathtaking. We visited five of the islands, some uninhabited. Incredible experience! Two recommendations : - visit Edourdo in Rancho aqua Clara on Crasqui for a great meal. You will see Emilio get out in his boat to catch your fish, conch and clamps. They will also take you on a tour in the shallow waters of the archipelago. - hire an agent. This was a first for us and we were happy we did. Alejandro (+58 4122126051 ) is an excellent choice. For a reasonable fee he prepares the paperwork and helps you deal with the many authorities. He provides you with a Venezuelan sim card (no or difficult roaming with regular providers). The coast guard were a little jumpy as a Polish boat with Spanish crew that had not cleared in has crashed on the rocks near Carenero. To us they were nice and helpful, other cruisers without agent seemed to have had a lesser experience. Most importantly, Alejandro had our back 24/7.

We took an agent, for once, to help us with the formalities of entering Los Roques. We were encouraged by the comments found here and on Noonsite, praising the merits of Alejandro (Yachtservicelosroques@gmail.com, WhatsApp +58 412-2126051) and well done. He helped us with the formalities, which he completed in two hours without us having to travel, but his services go far beyond that. Alejandro goes out of his way to help boaters and answer all their requests. He provides us with a local SIM card with 10 GB of data, he provides us with supplies when the cargo ship arrives, based on a list that we send him, and to top it all off, the supplies can be sent by cab boat to Crasqui. And finally Alejandro who loves his islands, is of very good advice for the anchorages and thanks to him we dared the wild and magnificent anchorages along the breakers which close the archipelago to the East. We spent 15 wonderful days in Los Roques and for a first experience with an agent, it was a success.

Wow, wow and wow again. Los Roques is all and more then we had expected. We sailed from Grenada via some of the off lying Venezuelan islands to Gran Roque which was our first available check in port. We met with the Alejandro in the immigration office after he was called by the officers as our very limited Spanish and their very limited English left us all with our hands in our hair. He walked in all smiles and from there on life was easy. For Alejandro everything is possible. We wizzed through the little village on its sandy roads him showing us all we needed to know. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all the anchorages which he explained in a sweet little bar. He booked us dinner in a delicious little restaurant with our feet in the sand and little waves breaking on the beach. The best tuna tataki. We missed a few of our groceries and he arranged it to be delivered to our boat which was by then in a different bay. He responds within seconds to a message. A little (big!) extra service was his supply of a SIM card. And a top up. Such a great gesture. Los Roques is a paradise and made easy by him. Don’t miss out on these islands is all we can say.

Gran Roque is the first port of call for checking into Los Roques. We never use an agent but this time we decided to use one that came recommended, and we don’t regret it. Not only did it save us a lot of time (Alejandro took us through the 5 steps of checking in within a very relaxed 2 hours) but also we saved money. From other boats we found out that when doing the checking in yourself, you can actually pay quite a bit more and it definitely takes a lot more time. Alejandro made himself available to us 24/7, gave us advice on where to go to see the best spots, organized a local SIM card for us and while we were cruising around, also had groceries (that we ordered through him) and a big fish delivered to our boat as well as our garbage taken care of. Alejandro’s details are in one of the photos, but just in case, his WhatsApp nr is +58 412-2126051. We were lucky enough to be able to stay for a month (15 days with an extension of 15 days) and loved every minute of it!

I had the pleasure to work together with Alejandro Linares our yacht agent in Los Roques, Venezuela during our latest Christmas new year charter and can confirm his professionalism, dedication and expertise.
As a super yacht agent he went above and beyond in ensuring the success and smooth execution for our charter, with coordinating private planes to handling paperwork, permits and flying food in from Caracas on demand to ensure the best experience for our guests.
Alejandro’s friendly and proactive approach made our experience not only hassle free but also enjoyable.
I strongly can recommend Alejandro with his genuine passion for providing exceptional service to his clients.
Best regards,

M/Y Barbara completed a Christmas trip in 2023 with a last minute location change to Los Roques. Alejandro from Yacht Service Los Roques came highly recommended from many sources and after working closely with him and his team for 3 weeks, we cannot fault him. His knowledge of the area, passion to ensure everything runs perfectly and alertness to guest/ vessel safety is amazing. Guests loved the entire experience and commented that Los Roques will become a location visited frequently. Various activities were completed such as kitesurfing, fishing, diving, snorkeling, wake surfing and multiple beach setups. Alejandro also took the guests on a walking tour through Gran Roque, showing them the history and allowing our guests to experience the local cuisine. Alejandro physically lives in Los Roques and knows all the contacts needed to ensure you have an amazing trip. Without his assistance the customs and immigration process could be a nightmare, so if you want to ensure your guests have an amazing experience, contact him.
