April
The season starts with a 500 mile passage from the Northern End of the Sea of Cortez straight to La Paz at the Southern End of Baja. We want to get to warmer weather and water as quickly as possible!!.
We would arrange to meet in at the boatyard in Puerto Penasco a few days prior to departure. This way we will be able to go over the boat, the safety systems and get used to how the boat feels before we actually leave. This also allows us to adjust slightly for a better weather window if needed.
Once we have a good weather window we’ll leave from Puerto Penasco heading straight south for La Paz. We expect 3 to 5 days nonstop to get to the La Paz Area. Once we arrive we should have a week or so to spend exploring the islands in the area before pulling in to the marina to wrap up the trip.
- Crew Contribution : $910
- Start: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
- End: La Paz, Mexico
- Length: 14 days
- Coastal Passage Making - Island Hopping

TENTATIVE ITINERARY:
Day 1: Arrive at Liquid
You’ll join us and other guest crew members on Liquid at the boatyard in Puerto Penasco. This evening gives you time to settle into your bunk and unpack and joins everyone together for our first meal. After dinner, we will take you through essential things to know for life on board and you’ll then have time to get to know those on board with you or to explore the surrounding area.
Day 2-3: Getting to Know Liquid
On these days we’ll all go through safety procedures, watch schedule, and structure for life at sea before continuing to prepare the boat to splash. We will then stay overnight in one of the marinas nearby.
Day 4: Departure for La Paz!!
After clearing out with the Port Captain, we’ll cast off the lines and get on our way. We’ll set the sails, we’ll point the bow south, with our sights set to La Paz! We’ll fall into our watch schedule and have our first night in the Sea of Cortez.
Day 5 – 8: Coastal Sailing
We will all find our rhythm to life at sea and the days will fade in and out upon big blue. No two days, sunrises, sunsets or watches will be the same. Hopefully we’ll see some good sea life, including dolphins and whales. As we adjust our sails along the way, things that seemed so foreign in the beginning will quickly become second nature and the miles will fall behind as we continue south.
Day 9-13: Arrival in La Paz Area
After more than three weeks at sea, we’ll arrive in Hiva Oa in the beautiful Marquesas. The green hillsides will rise up to the clouds from the sea and at once our senses will be re-introduced to attributes of land. While we wait to get cleared through customs and immigration we’ll clean and tidy up Liquid. After we’re cleared it will be time for a nice cold beverage, a dip in the sea and a group dinner on shore to celebrate our arrival!
Day 14: Departure Day
After a fun night out, it will be time to go our separate ways. We’ll all say so long, but not goodbye and you’ll find yourself free to explore La Paz as you wish.
