SEA OF CORTEZ (GULF OF CALIFORNIA)
The Sea of Cortez, also known as the Gulf of California, is a stunning body of water that sits between the Baja California Peninsula and mainland Mexico. This lovely sea spans over 700 miles, from its northern tip at the US-Mexico border to its southern reaches, and is surrounded by breathtaking desert landscapes and steep mountain ranges.
Geographically, the Sea of Cortez is a varied marine habitat known for its warm, clear waters and abundant marine life. It supports about 5,000 kinds of marine plants and animals, making it one of the world's most biologically varied seas. Its diverse ecosystem has given it the label "World's Aquarium," coined by famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau.
The Sea of Cortez attracts a lot of sailing enthusiasts because of its many features. It provides the perfect sailing conditions for both inexperienced and seasoned sailors due to its calm waters and light winds. Sailors can discover hidden coves, immaculate beaches, and stunning islands like Espiritu Santo and Isla Partida by navigating its blue waters.
Another well-known feature of the Sea of Cortez is its extraordinary wildlife encounters. During their periodic migrations, sailors may get the chance to snorkel next to entertaining sea lions, watch groups of dolphins playing in the waves, and even get a close-up look at magnificent whale sharks. The Sea of Cortez invites adventurers and sailors to discover its wonders and take in the romance of this remarkable marine sanctuary because of its amazing scenery and unmatched biodiversity.

WHALE & SHARK ACTIVITY:
Swimming with whale sharks is one of life’s great outdoor experiences. However, four federal agencies have overlapping jurisdiction over whale shark activities. Without prior notice, agencies close the whale shark feeding zone for research and review, even within the established legal whale shark season. If you have booked a whale shark encounter, and federal regulators fail to open the whale shark park according to the published seasonal opening, or if regulators close the whale shark zone without notice, you are rewarded with a two for one:
• We provide you with a FREE prepaid whale shark certificate to use when the park is reopened. The whale shark certificate is a cash equivalent credit with a three-year expiration. It is fully assignable. It may be used for a future whale shark activity, or applied towards any of the other private charters or shared tours we provide.
• We provide you with a Sea Lions and Remote Beaches activity on the date you are scheduled. We depart the dock as normal, and visit two or three remote beaches, bays, and coves where we snorkel with tropical fish over corals, explore beaches, put out kayaks, etc. We visit the sea lion colony of San Rafaelito, and provide an onboard chef, meals, beverages, an open bar, private bathrooms and showers, towels, snorkel equipment, a separate snorkel boat with guide, and reef-friendly sunscreen.

However, in these situations, we provide you with an alternative date that works within your travel plans, provide an alternative excursion, and/or issue you an assignable, three-year cash certificate that may be used the same as cash for the same or any future activities aboard Baja Cat, Pacifica, Marylee, or Lucky One.
