Every charter is made to order

Start with an idea. We build the day around it.

The charters below are the days our guests ask for most often, but none of them are fixed. Want to swap the snorkel bay for a fishing drift, add a private chef’s tasting at anchor, linger an extra hour to chase a pod of whales, or string several days together up the coast? Just say the word.

Tell us your ideal day at booking. We can accommodate most requests.

A sample multi-day passage

Four days in the Sea of Cortez

One way it’s been done. Stretch it, shorten it, or trade a day of diving for a day of fishing, it’s 100% flexible.

  1. Day1

    Cabo to Cabo Pulmo

    Depart the Cabo San Lucas marina with a tour of Land’s End, the Arch, sea lion colony and Lover’s Beach, then head east into the Sea of Cortez. Follow whales, stop at Santa María or Chileno Bay for the water, and cruise on toward the Cabo Pulmo underwater sanctuary. Fish along the way; the chef prepares dinner as you go.

  2. Day2

    A full day at Cabo Pulmo

    World-class diving, snorkeling and water activities in one of the richest reefs in the Sea of Cortez. Most guests happily spend the whole day here. The evening ends with a sail toward the small resort town of Los Barriles, dinner served while cruising.

  3. Day3

    Los Barriles, your way

    Go ashore to explore the town, take an ATV tour on the white-sand beaches, or stay aboard and fish the great spots nearby, or a mix of both. As much or as little land time as you like. The day closes with dinner and cocktails.

  4. Day4

    Sail back to Cabo

    A relaxed return to the Cabo marina by late morning. Prefer more time in the water, in town, or fishing? The whole passage flexes, time and distance are the only real limits.

How your itinerary comes together

Three easy steps, no fixed script

  1. Tell us your vision

    Celebration, family day, quiet escape? Share who’s aboard and what would make the day perfect. A real person answers, usually within minutes.

  2. We design the day

    We match you to the right yacht and crew and shape an itinerary around your bays, timing, menu and pace, from a two-hour sunset to a four-day passage.

  3. The crew adapts on the water

    Plans can change with the sea and your mood. Linger longer, chase a pod, add a stop, the captain and mate make it happen as the day unfolds.

Let’s design your day
