Yachting in Mexico – explore the coast of Mexico with Regatta for friends. This seven day sailing itinerary starts and ends in La Paz, allowing you to explore the Gulf of California and California Bay islands.
Our yacht trip starts from the marina of La-Paz. In a week we will walk along the coast of California peninsula.
Event programm
March 2. Meet the crews, check-in on yachts, purchase of products, safety briefing, acquaintance – cocktail party.
March 3. We set off for Ensenada Grande, a popular parking lot with turquoise waters, high rocky cliffs and snow-white beaches. On the beach, you can walk, relax on the beach or enjoy swimming and snorkeling along the rocky shoreline.
March 4. Located near the northwestern tip of Isla Partida, the rocky islets of Los Islotes are known to be one of the few places where you can swim with sea lions in their natural environment. Boats on the national park buoys are moored on the north and south shores. Go to El Bachito for snorkeling or to the nearby fishing village of San Evaristo and spend the night at a secure anchorage.
March 5. We sail to Isla San Francisco, a popular crescent-shaped bay camp, bordered by snow-white beaches, red rocks and crystal clear waters. In this picturesque bay you can have a great walk, dive with a mask and snorkel, go fishing or just sunbathe on the beach. The bay is big and can accommodate many boats.
March 6. Transition to Amortahada, to the south-western tip of San Jose. Getting up to the anchorage, you can take a boat or kayak to explore the main lagoon, passing through the mangroves. Take your binoculars to observe the herons.
March 7. We go to Isla Espiritu Santo and its most beautiful beach in the bay of Bahia San Gabriel, and then to the rocky western coast of Punta Prieta and the southern point of Ensenada de la Dispensia for fantastic snorkeling.
March 8. Trek to Puerto Balandra with eight pristine white beaches and an inner lagoon with El Khong rock formation, also known as a mushroom. In the shimmering blue water, you will see many colorful fish and corals that will delight swimmers and snorkellers. After lunch, we return to the home marina.
March 9. We hand over the boat, hug and say goodbye to new meetings under sail.
This event includes not only yachting, but also freediving. Under the guidance of an experienced instructor, you will learn natural immersion in water and receive the appropriate certificate.
