Separating the Baja California peninsula from the Mexico mainland, the Sea of Cortez is a narrow, largely sheltered yachting haven teeming with sea life. The body of water is an aquarium of over 2,900 species of fish and mammals which has earned it the UNSESCO World Heritage status. Exploring the waters biodiversity and diving with gentle whale sharks, curious sea lions, manta rays while the shadows of a wide variety of birds flutter overhead will connect one to the beauty of this place.
The landscape itself is littered with hidden coves, large bays, steep cliffs stained with red volcanic rock, black basalt, and sandstone. The aforementioned growing rock formations add mystery to this strange blue-green body of water. The ocean’s colors appear painted, an ideal backdrop for an unforgettable yachting vacation. Sculpted by the hands of mother nature, the Sea of Cortez is a mesmerizing display of azure water teeming with wildlife.
