Reef-friendly sunscreen, bottled water, beer, sodas, and a variety of snacks are all provided, along with private bathrooms, fresh towels, and private showers. Join us, for the Experience of a Lifetime.

Sea of Cortez

The Sea of Cortez, includes over 900 islands, providing nesting and stop-over habitat for hundreds of resident and migratory birds. Virtually all the islands in the region are uninhabited. The beaches on these deserted islands are some of the best in the world. This sub-set of the Pacific Ocean is widely considered one of the most biologically diverse marine areas on earth. Come experience this very beautiful and special place with ​Baja Cat.

Fish Mammal Life

The Sea of Cortez, is a breeding ground for sea lions marine turtles, and whales. Nine whale species ply the stunning crystal blue waters that are also home to 22 dolphin, and 5 turtle species. This incredibly beautiful oceanic sea is home to 30% of the world's marine mammals, and 39% of the world's fish species. Some 4,848 species of macro-invertebrates and 626 forms of marco algae are also found here. Come for the adventure. Come for the education. Come to get wet and have a great time. Come on an expedition with Baja Cat.

World's Aquarium

The Sea of Cortez, also known as the Gulf of California, was dubbed the World's Aquarium, by the famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. Snorkeling and scuba diving in these abundant waters are second to none. From underwater caves, to the dark blue of deep water trenches, to the white sand beaches bathed in clear, turquoise water, this region is a divers paradise. Come see remote beaches, and play in the sand and water with Baja Cat.

Overnight Charters

Baja Charters’ private overnight charters aboard Pacifica, a 96-foot, triple-deck, adventure-style classic cruising yacht, are best organized for a private couple up to a maximum of nine guests. It is the perfect adventure vacation. We are not a cruise ship, nor do we claim to be a luxury yacht, instead we are focused on private nautical activities with outstanding service. Guests are cared for by a crew of four, or more, depending on the activities intended. Guests explore deserted islands, visit remote beaches, bays, and coves. Enjoy fantastic snorkel and scuba locations, swim with sea lions and tropical fish. Snorkel with whale sharks (October through April), or Giant Mantas (July through mid-November), splash with Mobula jumping Rays, enjoy world-class deep-sea fishing. Scuba activities are available for open-water certified guests, at an extra cost.

We are not a typical Overnight cruise provider! We do SO MUCH MORE!

coral reef and tropical fishes

Discover a quiet peaceful cove on a stand-up paddle board, move amongst mangroves in a kayak, scuba the most remarkable reef imaginable, head out on our tender to see all kinds of sea life and visit a remarkable island bird sanctuary. Your hostess is a marine biologist. Your chef provides great food, all kinds of beverages, AND an open bar. There are wonderful areas to lay-out, relax, read a book, and enjoy a drink, surrounded by stunning views.

There are hundreds of beaches and bays scattered amongst the myriad islands of the Gulf of California, widely known as the Sea of Cortez. Snorkel or scuba the incredible Cabo Pulmo Reef. This is the Number One restored reef in the Western Hemisphere! Visit the outer bay and seven beaches of the fabulous Balandra. Anchor at Ensenada Grande on Holy Spirit Island (Isla Espiritu Santo). These are the finest beaches in Mexico. Quiet and secluded, they are breathtakingly beautiful.

fishin

Fish for your dinner of tuna, dorado, yellowtail, bass, grouper, and wahoo. Your chef will prepare ceviche and fish anyway you like. If you are not a fish-eater, we have steak, and chicken, and a host of marvelous vegetable and fruit dishes, along with baked goods. (We’re also vegan and gluten-free experienced.)

Cruise and explore the incredible inside Sea of Cortez. We have the perfect yacht and crew for you. Spend nights at anchor in deserted coves under star-studded skies. Shine lights in the water to bring up the swirling schools of Mobula rays. They are not dangerous; you can literally swim amongst them. Stroll a deserted white sand beach. Swim with a friendly sea lion colony, chase tropical fish around corals, and enjoy the peace and beauty of it all.

Does this sound familiar?

(A Truly Unique Yachting Experience)
Five Day, All Inclusive, Private Charter

You would really like to go out for a few days on a private, all-inclusive, yachting vacation, and explore deserted islands, beaches, bays, and coves. Someplace really amazing like the inside Sea of Cortez, one of the last great cruising grounds, and the 2nd most biologically diverse marine environment on the planet. The trouble is your significant other wants to go deep-sea fishing, and maybe scuba an incredible reef, and dive a ship wreck. You’d rather snorkel with whale sharks, swim with friendly sea lions, walk remote and deserted, white sand beaches, and lay-out and relax in private, on a real ocean-going yacht.

dolphin

Both of you would like drinks served as you cruise remote islands and watch the incredible views glide by. Perhaps one or the both of you, would like to take time and try your hand at stand-up paddle boarding in a quiet cove where no one sees you fall, or use kayaks to explore some mangroves, corals, and play with colorful tropical fish. So, we’ve got GREAT NEWS! All of these options and more, are included with Baja Charters multi-day private charters of the southern islands in the Sea of Cortez. Along with our 96’s, triple-deck, cruising yacht, Pacifica, comes everything you need to make your dreams come true.

We have it all and we do it all!

There is nothing else like it. No one does it like we do! You decide. We provide.

Ground Transportation

Typically, guests are picked up directly from the lobby entrance of their hotel or resort, but not always. Depending on a number of factors, guests may be requested to meet ground transport in a central location.

Many Options

There are nine varieties of whale in the gulf, and twenty-one species of dolphin. There are turtles and a myriad of sea life. This is it. This is the place. Today you might be snorkeling with sea lions and tropical fish, or experience the elusive and rare whale shark, the largest fish in the world. On a full day private charter, during whale shark season, you can do both. It is up to you. Later in the day you could be exploring a deserted beach or snorkeling along a coral reef to watch thousands of colorful fish darting here and there. Or perhaps you would rather just lie out on a deserted beach somewhere around Espiritu Santo Island. There are lots of options, so.
YOU DECIDE. WE PROVIDE.

Explore

Some prefer to take a paddle board, or kayak, and move in close to mangrove swamps and stare down into water so crystal clear it hardly seems real. This is an amazing place. There are tropical fish, sea mammals, and beautiful aquatic birds everywhere. These are the places we take our guests. This is why you come. So again: YOU DECIDE. WE PROVIDE.

Enjoy Excellent Service

Top quality food is prepared on board and available throughout the charter period. We host an open bar and there is always a variety of soft drinks, snacks, and beer on hand. A marine biologist frequently serves as hostess and snorkel assistant. Private bathrooms, with freshwater showers, along with laundered towels, soaps, and shampoos are also on hand. An additional dive boat is in attendance to get you up close and personal with sea life, or into that special cove you want to explore. This is what we do. Take you to the places where tropical dreams come true. So, you too can say: It was the experience of a lifetime.
