A private yacht in La Paz is a day or a night entirely your own: you step aboard at Marina Costa Baja, a crew of five and a private chef take care of every detail, and the Sea of Cortez becomes your private setting, from empty beaches to quiet coves.
If this is your first time experiencing a private yacht in La Paz, it is natural to wonder what it will actually be like. This guide follows the experience from the moment you arrive at the marina to the moment you return, so you know what to expect aboard Cada Uno, our 35-meter (116 ft) motor yacht.
Before You Board Your Private Yacht in La Paz
Cada Uno is docked at Marina Costa Baja, about 10 minutes from La Paz, with quick access to the bay and the Sea of Cortez. Day trips depart at 9:00 a.m., and the crew welcomes you aboard.
A few simple things to keep in mind:
Bring what keeps you comfortable: Swimwear, sun protection, light clothing for the day and a camera.
Leave the gear to us: Snorkeling equipment, paddleboards, a Seabob and inflatable toys are on board.
Share your preferences: Let us know about dietary needs and favorite flavors in advance, so the chef can plan your menu.

A Typical Day Aboard: Morning, Midday, and Afternoon
Every itinerary is carefully adapted to the day's weather and sea conditions. A typical private day excursion unfolds at a calm, unhurried rhythm tailored to your personal preferences. This ensures a seamless balance between immersive coastal exploration and relaxed moments on the water.
Morning
You leave Marina Costa Baja at 9:00 a.m. and cruise toward the islands, with the bay opening up around you. This is the time to settle in, explore the yacht and enjoy the views.
Midday
The yacht anchors near the shore of Isla Espíritu Santo or Playa Balandra. Snorkel beside local wildlife, paddleboard along the coast, take a kayak out or try the Seabob. Lunch is prepared on board by your private chef.
Afternoon
After spending time in the crystal-clear waters or relaxing on the deck, the yacht begins its smooth journey back to shore. The vessel arrives back at Marina Costa Baja at approximately 5:00 p.m.
Prefer to stay longer? Our overnight itinerary, La Única, runs from noon to noon the next day, so you spend the evening and night on board.
The Crew and Service
The people on board are what make a private voyage feel effortless. Cada Uno sails with a fixed crew of five:
Captain: Leads the route and the day on the water.
First mate and deckhand: Look after the yacht and your time in the water, from the equipment to the tender.
Chief stewardess: Attends to your comfort on board, from arrival to return.
Private chef: Designs and prepares your meals, tailored to your preferences.
The result is attentive, discreet service that lets you simply enjoy the day.
