$25,500–$27,500 MXN

Step off the malecón and into the best day of your vacation. We're flexible, but we like to time the day around the sunset, so we usually leave between 9 and 11 depending on the time of year.

We normally fish along the way before pausing at San Rafaelito to see the sea lions, then anchor at Playa Balandra. Once at anchor, food is prepared while you explore the bay on our stand-up paddleboards, snorkel, lounge under a shade tent on the beach, or simply enjoy having all the comforts of home in a remote turquoise paradise. Glide home under La Paz's famous sunset.

We often see dolphins, whales, turtles, mobula rays, blue-footed boobies and more (although wildlife sightings can't be guaranteed). If we're lucky, we may catch a dorado and prepare fresh sashimi for everyone.

Private chef: included for groups of 8 or fewer. Groups of 9–15 can add a private chef for $2,000 MXN. Menu upgrades are available at extra cost.
