La Paz Private 35ft Catamaran: Balandra Bay & Espíritu Santo (5hr or 8hr Options)

Explore the Sea of Cortez aboard your own private 35ft catamaran, one of the most breathtaking marine environments on the planet. Cast off from La Paz's Malecón or Marina Palmira, sail south, and enjoy the peace and beauty of Baja California, all with your private group only aboard.

The 35ft catamaran offers more space, more stability, and more comfort than a monohull sailboat, perfect for families and larger groups who want a smooth, relaxed day at sea.
