Isla Espiritu Santo and Isla Partida

Isla Espiritu Santo and Isla Partida are among the many treasures of the Sea of Cortez. Nearly connected by a sandspit, they are practically one landform. In the distant past, these two islands were joined, until forces deep in the Earth separated them from one another (Isla Partida means "the island that parted" in Spanish). Both islands have many snug coves on the west side ideal for anchoring and taking the dinghy ashore to explore. Pristine white-sand beaches fringe the shore. Inland on Isla Espiritu Santo the mountains are as high as 2,000 feet above sea level. Yachting in Isla Espiritu Santo waters is a highlight of a charter in the Sea of Cortez.

La Paz Baja Sur, Mexico: Sample Yacht Charter Itinerary

Set sail through the breathtaking waters of the Sea of Cortez with a custom La Paz yacht charter itinerary designed for unforgettable exploration and relaxation. Stretching nearly 700 miles, this iconic marine destination offers one of the most diverse and beautiful cruising experiences in the world. We operate within a prime area just 100 miles outside of La Paz, Baja California Sur, with convenient offices at both Marina CostaBaja and Marina de La Paz.

Our fleet includes a variety of premium vessels — from luxury mega yachts and power catamarans to sailing yachts and sport fishing boats. Thanks to our marina locations outside of the city center, you'll skip the long inland channel and be cruising the open waters within minutes. Just a short cab ride from our marina brings you to downtown La Paz, where you’ll find provisioning shops, top-rated restaurants, and a scenic waterfront promenade known as the Malecón. Unlike the bustling scene of Cabo San Lucas, La Paz is tranquil, charming, and home to a welcoming community of local cruisers and expats.

The Magic of Desert Cruising in Baja

A Baja yacht charter offers desert cruising at its finest — with quiet coves, untouched beaches, and dramatic red cliffs that are a dream for photography lovers. This region offers endless opportunities for hiking, diving, and discovering hidden gems along the Sea of Cortez coastline. The area is teeming with wildlife — from dolphins and whale sharks to manta rays and migrating whales — inspiring Jacques Cousteau to famously call it “The Aquarium of the World.”

Snorkeling and diving in La Paz are world-class, especially during the best seasons: October to November and February to April, when visibility is at its peak and marine life is most active.
