YACHTING iN 
THE SEA OF CORTEZ 

Cruising Destination: Sea of Cortez

The Sea of Cortez is by far one of the most underrated yachting destinations on the planet. The tropical weather is complemented by unspoiled landscapes of upward growing minerals outlined with the clearest ocean waters. Combine the allure of the Galapagos with a quick and easy flight to a place that is nearly an extension of California and you will be here, at the Sea of Cortez.

NaTURE, WILDLIFE and OFF THE GRID ADVENTURE

Separating the Baja California peninsula from the Mexico mainland, the Sea of Cortez is a narrow, largely sheltered yachting haven teeming with sea life. The body of water is an aquarium of over 2,900 species of fish and mammals which has earned it the UNSESCO World Heritage status. Exploring the waters biodiversity and diving with gentle whale sharks, curious sea lions, manta rays while the shadows of a wide variety of birds flutter overhead will connect one to the beauty of this place.

The landscape

The landscape itself is littered with hidden coves, large bays, steep cliffs stained with red volcanic rock, black basalt, and sandstone. The aforementioned growing rock formations add mystery to this strange blue-green body of water. The ocean’s colors appear painted, an ideal backdrop for an unforgettable yachting vacation. Sculpted by the hands of mother nature, the Sea of Cortez is a mesmerizing display of azure water teeming with wildlife.

Further North is Bahia Balandra, a secluded bay characterized by a special marine microclimate. The conservation area is glowing white with fine feather sand which stands out against the dark vegetation-less cliffs. The shallow water is warmed to high temperatures from the sun and forms a natural spa of relaxation. Playa Balandra is a perfect place for a beach picnic and watching the dolphins out in the distance.

The most beautiful island

Traveling a small distance further north is Isla Espiritu Santo. Regarded as the most beautiful island in the Sea of Cortez, the centuries of wind and water have carved dramatic cliffs into the volcanic strata of the island. If your feeling adventurous, take an kayak around the mountainous terrain of Isla Espiritu Santo. Here you will find breathtaking sea views with turquoise water glistening underneath.
