8 Days in Mexico

Begin your charter in La Paz, a relaxed coastal city and natural gateway to the Sea of Cortez. Guests board the yacht, settle into life onboard, and enjoy time along the waterfront before the itinerary begins.

Depending on arrival time, spend the afternoon exploring the malecón, enjoying a relaxed lunch ashore, or cruising gently within La Paz Bay. The city offers a warm and easy introduction to Baja California Sur, setting the tone for a journey focused on nature, comfort, and life at sea.

Cruise north towards Espíritu Santo, one of the Sea of Cortez’s signature island destinations. Known for its clear waters, volcanic landscapes, sandy coves, and protected natural surroundings, the island offers an immediate sense of escape.

Spend the day swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, or paddleboarding in calm anchorages framed by desert cliffs. The pace is relaxed and scenic, giving guests time to enjoy the yacht, the water, and the remote beauty of Baja’s island coastline.

Continue through the Espíritu Santo and Isla Partida area, cruising between dramatic rock formations, quiet bays, and clear-water snorkelling spots. This part of the itinerary is ideal for guests who want to spend more time in the water and explore the coastline by tender.

Conditions permitting, visit Los Islotes, known for its sea lion colony and marine life. The day combines wildlife encounters, scenic cruising, and time at anchor, making it one of the most memorable stops on the route.

Cruise north to Isla San Francisco, a striking island known for its wide bay, pale sand, and desert-backed scenery. Arrival by yacht gives guests direct access to one of the region’s most beautiful natural anchorages.

Spend the afternoon swimming, hiking, snorkelling, or relaxing onboard with uninterrupted views of the coastline. This stop offers a quieter and more remote charter experience, with a strong sense of privacy and space.

Continue to Isla San José, where desert terrain, mangroves, birdlife, and sheltered waters create a varied cruising environment. The island offers a more exploratory feel, with opportunities to discover natural landscapes from both the yacht and tender.

Guests can kayak through calm channels, enjoy a beach landing, or spend the day swimming and unwinding onboard. Isla San José brings a peaceful, nature-focused rhythm to the itinerary before the route continues along the Baja coastline.

Cruise towards San Evaristo, a small coastal village that adds an authentic Baja character to the itinerary. Surrounded by desert hills, calm waters, and a simple working shoreline, this stop offers a different perspective on the Sea of Cortez.

Guests can relax at anchor, explore by tender, swim in sheltered water, or enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the bay. San Evaristo provides a quiet and memorable overnight stop, balancing the remote island days with a glimpse of local coastal life.

Cruise back towards the La Paz area and anchor near Balandra Bay, one of Baja California Sur’s most recognisable coastal settings. Known for shallow turquoise water, soft sand, and calm scenery, it is an ideal final full day on the water.

Guests can swim, paddleboard, relax on deck, or enjoy a leisurely lunch onboard before a sunset cruise in the bay. This stop gives the itinerary a polished and scenic finish, combining easy cruising with one last opportunity to enjoy the Sea of Cortez at a slower pace.

Enjoy a final morning onboard before cruising back into La Paz. Depending on timing, guests may enjoy breakfast on deck, a last swim stop, or a relaxed approach along the coastline.

Disembarkation takes place in La Paz at the end of the charter. Guests leave with a complete Sea of Cortez experience, shaped by desert islands, turquoise anchorages, marine life, quiet villages, and the relaxed elegance of Baja cruising.
