The boat slips out of the bay as morning light skims the rim of the Sierra Madre — salt lifts off the water like a dare, and the captain points to a low green silhouette on the horizon: the Marietas Islands. On a 34‑foot Neptune you trade city noise for seabird calls, drifting between sun and shade while seabreeze pushes you forward toward caves, reefs, and the famous hidden beach.
easy.
4–8 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels; basic mobility for boarding and short swims is required
Access to the hidden beach is regulated by park authorities; the 6‑ and 8‑hour options increase the chance of authorized access, but final permissions depend on park quotas and sea conditions.
Yes — snorkel masks and basic snorkel gear are included; bring your own fins if you prefer a personal fit.
Recreational fishing can be arranged on the trip; check with your captain about local regulations, seasonal closures, and catch limits before casting off.
The 34‑foot Neptune is configured for up to 6 passengers for professional fishing setups and up to 14 for relaxed bay trips, with shaded and sun areas plus a head and ice chest.
The Marietas were once used for military target practice in the 20th century and later protected as a national marine reserve; the human story shifted from exploitation to conservation.
The islands are a protected area with strict landing and access rules; avoid anchoring on reefs, use reef‑safe products, and follow guides’ instructions to minimize impact.
