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.
