The sea does not follow a clock — and neither do we.
I've never experienced such exceptional service from an agent before! Alejandro and his team were incredibly attentive throughout our four-day stay in Los Roques. Communication was swift and straightforward, with everything being well-organized and punctual. Alejandro personally went above and beyond, assisting with every tender run and helping with beach setups and closures. I highly recommend both Los Roques and his services, and I would be thrilled to return.

I had the privilege of collaborating with Alejandro Linares, our yacht agent in Los Roques, Venezuela, during our most recent Christmas and New Year charter. I can attest to his professionalism, dedication, and expertise. As a super yacht agent, he exceeded expectations by ensuring the success and seamless execution of our charter. From coordinating private flights to managing paperwork, permits, and even flying in food from Caracas on demand, he ensured our guests had the best experience possible.
Alejandro’s friendly and proactive demeanor made our experience not only stress-free but also enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Alejandro for his genuine passion for delivering exceptional service to his clients.

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 daunting, so if you want to ensure your guests have an amazing experience, contact him.
