Sail from Los Cabos into the Sea of Cortez for an all-inclusive catamaran day: remote beaches, guided snorkeling with tropical fish, and up-close swims with playful sea lions. This five-hour cruise includes meals, wetsuits, kayaks, and a marine biologist on board.

The catamaran slips free of the marina as the coastline of Baja California Sur pulls away — warm air, the tang of salt, and a horizon that stretches toward the islands of the Sea of Cortez. Onboard, crew and a marine biologist set the tone: curious, careful, and focused on the ocean’s life. You’ll anchor at a little-visited cove for snorkeling with tropical fish, then drift close to a buoy-strewn rock where sea lions dart like living torpedoes, daring you into the water.
