Sea of Cortez
Lagoon 60 small-group liveaboard
Whales, light & quiet bays
from a modern catamaran.
A week on a new Lagoon 60, drifting between islands, whale encounters, sea lions, and long dinners on deck — curated meals, local fare, and pairings included. Expect sashimi from fish caught minutes prior, prepared by a private chef on board.
This is a hosted journey. We handle airport transfers, boat logistics, and guiding — you
show up with a carry-on and curiosity.
Upgrades & skills (optional): pro-level wind sports coaching, eFoil sessions, and snorkel certification for guests who want it — on top of the normal wildlife, islands, and water time.

The route
We sail a relaxed loop from La Paz into the islands of the southern Sea of Cortez, choosing anchorages based on conditions, wildlife, and light — not a rigid schedule.
- La Paz — easy arrivals, calm embarkation.
- Espíritu Santo — sea lions, turquoise coves, paddleboarding.
- Isla San Francisco & nearby bays — quiet nights, wide beaches.
- Open channels (seasonal) — whale corridors and dolphin encounters.
Distances are short by design. The emphasis is on lingering — swimming, reading, photography, and long dinners on deck (with a private chef + local pairings).
Lagoon 60 — Photos
All images normalized to the same container size.
Why this trip
Less “see everything,” more “feel the place.” We choose just a few anchorages — sea lion colonies,
whale corridors, sand spits that glow at sunset — and stay long enough for it to sink in.
- Modern Lagoon 60 with ensuite cabins and real deck space.
- Local captain + Búho host who live and work in Baja.
- Flexible days: snorkeling, whales, shore walks, or just reading on deck.
- Curated meals + local fare + pairings by a private chef — including sashimi from fish caught minutes prior when conditions allow.
- Pro-level wind sports (kite/wing) + eFoil options, and snorkel certification for guests who want it.
Who it’s for
Good fit if you:
- Prefer small groups and quiet water over big-ship cruises.
- Enjoy wildlife, photography, and long dinners more than nightlife.
- Are comfortable on boats and like the idea of barefoot days.
- Want the option to level up skills (wind sports, eFoil, snorkeling) without turning the trip into a “camp.”
