Activities Offered Aboard Our Private Chartered Yacht

Exploring-  The many islands that we visit have undiscovered secrets waiting to be found (mountain climbing, shell collecting, secluded beaches, caves, lagoons, bird life, reptiles, insects and much more to explore).  If you are an explorer don’t forget to bring; shoes, bug repellent (deet) and maybe a water bottle.  The tender can transport you to shore or you can swim, kayak or snorkel.

Birding-  While visiting the many islands, you will often  sight  Frigates, Brown or Blue Footed Boobies, Heermann’s Gulls, Terns, Blue Herons, Egrets, Ibis, Storm Petrels, Pelicans and many other seabirds.  Lagoons make great nesting and feeding grounds for many of these birds. You may want to bring a good pair of binoculars.

Snorkeling-  With all the many islands to visit, rich nutrient water, abundance of fish life and meeting the unexpected (whales, mantas, whale sharks, dolphin or sea lions) the snorkeling is some of the best in the world!  Snorkeling opportunities are endless.  We visit a site were the sea lions will swim with you. Another site you can enjoy an exciting Manta or Whale Shark and manta encounters during the summer months of July to December.  Snorkeling is always great YEAR ROUND! 

Whale Watching- Whales are encountered year round in the Sea of Cortez but you will find the larger species during the months of December to April.  Encounters with Gray, Humpback, Sperm, Finback, Minke, Killerand the Great Blue Whales are not unusual.  These whales visit these warm rich waters of the Sea of Cortez each year.  The rich nutrients and warm protect lagoons make it an ideal wintering ground for calving and raising young.  A lot of the whales will be seen in waterways close to shore or near islands that we visit.  Here is a picture of an Orca encounter we saw that stayed for about  30 minutes.                       

 Kayaking- Take a break and try your skill at kayaking. Our kayaks are unsinkable and easy to get in and out of even if you go for a swim. If you want a real close encounter with marine life kayaking will do that.  The wildlife of the Sea of Cortez love the kayaks and will come up to you to investigate.  We have 2-sit on top kayaks available at no extra charge.

Fishing- On our charters we can offer fishing. Fishing equipment and fishing licence's are not included. You will need to make these arrangements well in advanced. When traveling we troll to provide you with fresh fish for our meals. You are always welcome to join in on the excitement of the catch.  It is illegal in Mexico to harvest shellfish this privilage is only given to Mexican citizens.
