Board a private 38‑ft yacht at IGY Marina and sail through the Sea of Cortez to the famous Arch, with a snorkel stop in clear, fish‑filled water. This three‑hour private cruise includes snorkel gear, a paddleboard, snacks and an open bar—ideal for small groups and celebrations.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The marina slips behind you with a swish of rigging and the bartender’s quick smile as the 38‑foot yacht eases into the blue. Salt pulls at your hair, gulls orbit overhead, and the city’s distant hum becomes background to a single, moving focus: the rock sculptures of Land’s End. On calm mornings the Sea of Cortez lies mirror‑flat; when the Pacific tugs a current through the channel, the boat leans into the push and the crew points the bow toward the Arch, where wind and tide have carved a doorway through granite and time.

Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply reef‑safe sunblock before boarding and reapply after snorkeling to protect coral and marine life.
