Sea of Cortez Charter Itinerary

Sea of Cortez Itinerary

Sea of Cortez Yacht Charter
A week in the Sea of Cortez, the aquarium of the world, where desert islands meet water alive with sea lions, whales and rays off the coast of Baja California. This is a striking meeting of arid and marine, red-rock cliffs above turquoise coves, cactus deserts beside blooming reefs. Expect UNESCO islands and playful sea lions, whale-rich channels and blazing white beaches, a wild and joyful voyage.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

La Paz

Step aboard in La Paz, the relaxed Baja capital on the Sea of Cortez, and sail out to the dazzling white sands of Balandra. Swim in the shallow turquoise bay and settle into the desert-sea rhythm.
