BPY’s charter base is strategically placed near the north end of what many consider to be the finest 150 mile stretch of cruising available in North America, if not the world. You can take your time to explore the islands, nooks and crannies of this amazing area.
BPY clients are invited to enjoy the crystal clear, warm waters of the Sea of Cortez – numerous offshore islands to explore, dozens of secluded anchorages, refreshing margaritas, and spectacular fishing. Options include destination Learn-to-Sail vacations and captained charters. In all cases you’re looking at the sailing experience of a lifetime. Day after day of “best day ever” kind of sailing, which may ruin you forever. In a good way.
Captained Charters
Leave all your worries behind as you and your favorite people cruise in style. For a crewed catamaran charter in the Sea of Cortez, NO SAILING EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED. You will board one of our spacious catamarans and simply enjoy the ride as you explore the wide open bays, quiet coves and stunning scenery of the Sea of Cortez.
Captained charters mean that the yacht is rented with a professional crew consisting of at least a licensed captain who is responsible for the maneuvering of the yacht. In some cases the captain is aided by a chef or other crew members as well. Typically they operate solo.
Bareboat Charters
You and your crew are free to choose your own itinerary, and experience the thrill of full command of a modern sailing catamaran.

So Where Are We Going, Anyway?
LORETO/PUERTO ESCONDIDO BASE: About two-thirds of the way down the Sea of Cortez, on Mexico’s famed Baja Peninsula, sit Loreto and Puerto Escondido. Backed by the stunning Sierra de la Giganta range to the west and a spread of islands and dazzling blue waters to the east, this area boasts spectacular sailing, beach exploration, historic communities, gorgeous remote anchorages, and world-class fishing. It’s an ideal base for exploring one of the richest, most starkly beautiful cruising areas on the planet, a place Jacques Cousteau once proclaimed “The Aquarium of The World.”
