SEATTLE, WA — Travelers who want to experience Mexico’s Sea of Cortés with a small group of friends or family now have an opportunity to explore this remarkable desert sea by private luxury yacht, thanks to American Safari Cruises’ new charter offering for groups of 12 or under. The new program is in response to requests for small-group charter cruises in Mexico.
The eight-day, seven-night cruises aboard the 120-foot yacht Safari Quest are available for up to 12 guests now through March 25 for $99,995, which includes a six-person crew with professional naturalist, gourmet dining, a complimentary bar with premium spirits and fine wines, all off-yacht experiences and transfers. The Safari Quest usually carries 22 guests at a higher charter rate; the special offer for 12 guests represents a savings of up to $27,900.
“We’ve received a number of requests to put one of our 12-guest yachts in the Sea of Cortés for small groups, but the time and expense involved to deadhead another, smaller boat makes it prohibitive,” says Tim Jacox, vice president of sales and marketing. “So we’re making this offer to meet a stated demand for smaller charter parties on the bigger, more spacious yacht that’s already there.” American Safari Cruises has two 12-guest yachts, the 105-foot Safari Spirit and the 112-foot Safari Escape.
The one-way itinerary between Loreto and Baja California Sur’s capital of La Paz includes tiny Isla Coyote where fishermen and their families live in the only permanent settlement in the islands, snorkeling with juvenile sea lions, a burro ride into the arroyos, and plenty of time for watching whales and other wildlife, kayaking, sailing, beachcombing and hiking.
