American Safari Cruises offering small group trips to Mexico
American Safari Cruises introduced a charter offering for groups of 12 or under to Mexico’s Sea of Cortes.
The company says the program is in response to requests for charter cruises on small yachts in Mexico.
The seven-night cruises aboard the 120-foot Safari Quest for a dozen people are priced through March 25 at $99,995. The cost includes a six-person crew with professional naturalist, gourmet dining, a complimentary bar with premium spirits and fine wines, all off-yacht experiences and transfers.
“The Safari Quest usually carries 22 guests at a higher charter rate; the special offer for 12 guests represents a savings of up to $27,900,” says the company.
The one-way itinerary between Loreto and La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur, includes tiny Isla Coyote where fishermen and their families live in the only permanent settlement in the islands. Other activities include snorkeling with juvenile sea lions, a burro ride into the arroyos, and time for watching whales and other wildlife.
There’s also kayaking, sailing, beachcombing and hiking.
