About this property
El Duque Adventures In The Sea Of Cortez And Beyond
El Duque is the perfect platform for fun and adventure in the Sea of Cortez; a 53 ft converted trawler, she has 2 air conditioned cabins with 6 bunks and a bathroom in each - we can take a maximum of 12 but limit our trips to 10 for comfort. She is full of character, the original boat builder knew John 'The Duke' Wayne hence the name of the boat and some of her history. The bunk style accommodation will build camaraderie and lead to adventures on the high seas. There is a fully stocked galley and living area where you will enjoy a variety of home cooked meals and snacks throughout the day. We pride ourselves on catering to all of your dietary needs and requirements with a fabulous selection of Mexican and International fare. The living area also provides space to relax out of the sun and play a game of cards or perhaps watch a movie on the boat TV. She also comes equipped with fishing rods and kayaks for you to use in your spare time. We have a spacious sun deck which is great for relaxing with a book or perhaps having a BBQ and cocktail in the evening. You may even decide to bring your bedding up here to enjoy sleeping under the stars! The dive platform allows easy access in and out of the water and there is some space for your camera and electronics too. She carries all safety equipment as required under Mexican Law, including oxygen, life vests, and fire suppressants and we also have all permits necessary for the Natural Protected Areas that we visit. Setting us apart from most charter boats is our tender - no ore squeezing into a little dingy but rather we bring our panga on every trip to make shore excursions and activities quicker and easier; she has cushioned seats and protection from the sun. We organise charters out into the Sea of Cortez, mainly using the boat as our platform to explore Isla Espiritu Santo but also go further afield depending upon your timeframe. We can organise activities such as scuba diving, snorkelling, kayaking, beach exploration, hiking etc all from our boat. We personalise our charters depending on each group and what you would like to do. Please contact us for more information or to discuss your dream trip. Please note that the price listed is for an 8 hour day charter. Overnight charters are available, please contact us with details of your group for a quote.

When out on the boat, common sense is the rule we live by but in all decisions the Captain has the final say.

About the host
Hosted by Owner/Manager
I'm a geography teacher, dive instructor and now business owner! Originally from England, I spent 8 years travelling and working with my partner before we decided to settle in Mexico. I love the outdoors and really enjoy showing people the landscape and marine life her in Baja.
Why they chose this property
We are a unique holiday opportunity for adventurous travellers. We organise trips out into the Sea of Cortez so you can experience life at sea. We will create a personalised itinerary for your trip but it could include diving, snorkelling, hiking, kayaking, beach exploration, visiting local fish camps, playing with curious sealions or searching for the largest fish in the sea - the whaleshark.
What makes this property unique
We love Baja, with its desolate looking landscape, home to weird and wonderful plants and animals to its rich waters teeming with marine life. Spending your holiday on a boat is a great way to get away from the crowds and get back to the simple life. You will awake to beautiful views from secluded bays and enjoy some magnificent sunsets and sunrises - the stars out at sea are also incredible.
